British Zimbabwe investors get warning

HARARE, Zimbabwe, June 27 (UPI) -- British companies operating in Zimbabwe have been warned they might be kicked out of the African country if Robert Mugabe loses the presidency.

The opposition Movement for Democratic Change said the Mugabe regime debts will not be repaid by a new government, the Times of London reported.

Roy Bennett, the MDC treasurer, said all investment in Zimbabwe will be "revisited" after Mugabe leaves office.

"These companies," he said, "need to be careful because their rights will be scrutinized."
