Zimbabwe's ruling party wants to ban a Danish aid organisation and deport its representative because of his alleged involvement in forming a new opposition party, AFP reported state media as saying on Monday.
Information Minister Chen Chimutengwende told the 'Herald' newspaper that Georg Lemke, an official with the Danish Trade Union Council for International Development Cooperation, "must be severely dealt with."

which he is an adviser.
