Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was robbed at his 
Johannesburg offices on Tuesday evening, police said.

Spokesperson Thembi Nkhwasu said Tsvangirai and two of his officials 
were in their offices in Homestead Avenue in Bryanston at about 6pm when 
they were confronted by three men armed with pistols.

"The robbers stole the three men's bags, laptops, cellphones and an 
undisclosed amount of Zimbabwe dollars.

"The robbers escaped in a white sedan that was waiting for them 
outside," she said.

Police are investigating a case of armed robbery and appealed to anyone 
with information to call the crime hotline,               08600 
10111       .

"We have not spoken to Tsvangirai but we can confirm that none of the 
officials were hurt," said Nkhwasu. - Sapa
