JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — CARE International said Tuesday that Zimbabwe’s government suspended the group’s aid operations in the country after accusing it of campaigning for the opposition.
CARE’s Africa communications director, Kenneth Walker, said the order to halt aid work came Friday. Walker said CARE “categorically” denies it encourages or tolerates political activity by staff.
The group provides aid to about 500,000 Zimbabweans and had been scheduled to expand food distribution to about 1 million people this month, he said.
