Zimbabwe: Tsvangirai Will Return Tomorrow |
 |
Despite fears of an assassination plot, Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has announced that he will return home tomorrow.
Tsvangirai, currently in South Africa, also said that Zimbabwe’s problems were causing regional violence.
The economic and political crisis in Zimbabwe has led to an exodus from the country.
More than three million Zimbabweans are said to be living in neighbouring South Africa.
Resentment that foreigners are competing for scarce jobs and houses has led to a wave of anti-foreigner attacks in South Africa in the past 10 days. Zimbabweans bore the brunt of the violence.
Tsvangirai told a crowd of Zimbabweans outside the police station in the Alexandra township, where the violence started, that Zimbabwe’s crisis had spilled over into South Africa.
Tsvangirai will need to be extremely careful; 43 opposition activists have been killed in election-related violence. I’m worried that Tsvangirai’s death could set off further waves of violence.
The run-off will theoretically take place on June 27.
The torture, rape & murder is happening daily in Zimbabwe, to think that these refugees fled with nothing to a country they thought would be a safe haven only to find more torture and death and this is South Africa the Rainbow nation of Africa the country that is hosting the SOCCER WORLD CUP 2010. This is the welcome that is gives to visitors & refugees Thabo Mbeki had better wake up from that drunken stupor!
