Mugabe is refused accommodation by 2 SA hotels

The Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, who arrived in Pretoria for the 10th anniversary of a free South Africa and the inauguration of President Thabo Mbeki, was housed in a guesthouse after two 5-star hotels refused to accommodate him because of human rights abuses in his country. Zimbabwean ambassador in South Africa, Simon Moyo, glossed it over by saying that Mugabe stayed at a guest house out of choice.
