Durban - Supporters of the Zimbabwean opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) marched to Durban's city hall on Saturday calling on the African Union to deploy peacekeepers in Zimbabwe, SABC radio news reported.
The marchers also protested the "illegitimate" swearing in of Robert Mugabe as Zimbabwean president.
Nelson Kambarami, MDC Durban branch chairperson, said it was time for the AU to take action to protect the innocent people of Zimbabwe.
"What we can request, even to every Zimbabwean, if we can have peacekeepers who can try to neutralise the situation in Zimbabwe where Mugabe is just trying to address on the media a window dressing."
"If we can have a transitional free and fair election can be taken, we can accept that stance," he told SABC news.
