Harare - Zimbabwe has warned Cosatu it will arrest and deport union members if they go ahead with plans to visit the country next week.

According to Paul Mangwana, Zimbabwe's minister of labour, his government would not accept Cosatu's "attitude".

"They can come if they choose to disregard us. This country has facilities that ensure the law is adhered to.

"They have the ability to handle any instance of intrusion and to ensure that things are settled with those who come here on subversive missions," he told Beeld in an interview.

Cosatu has said it will send a delegation to Zimbabwe on a fact-finding mission next week after being thrown out of the country last year.

Cosatu secretary-general Zwelinzima Vavi said it was necessary to visit the country before the general elections scheduled for March.

Cosatu doubts whether the elections will be free and fair.
