I am grateful for your support for Zimbabwe. SA is pathetically supporting the Mugabe regime, with no indication of supporting the masses. Thousands of refugees flock to this country every day. They are called illegal immigrants, they get arrested and deported to Zimbabwe each day. They are excluded from social services. Those qualified to do certain jobs cannot get proper papers to work, especially if their skills are not listed as needed.

I suggest that Zimbabweans themselves rise up in the diaspora. Let them stand up and be counted. If the masses would be visible...then we can start talking. Let the millions of Zimbabweans in SA rise up and be counted to air their grievances. The Zimbabwean problems will be solved by those who will take the initiative!
