I remember reporting almost two weeks ago about Zimbabweans camped outside the Zimbabwean Consulate in Cape Town. What I do not understand is this: these people have made it clear that they want to return home. We all know they did not plan for these circumstances. They have been stripped of their livelihoods and, in many cases, no longer have the financial means to get back to Zimbabwe.
What stops the President from instructing the Minister of Finance and the relevant ministries to organise buses to transport our people from Cape Town back home?
What stops the government from allowing them to cross the border with their personal goods and belongings without charging customs duty, given that this is clearly a humanitarian crisis?
This is not a complicated policy issue. It is a basic act of leadership and compassion.
What I struggle to understand about the Zimbabwean government is that you see men in expensive suits and women in elegant dresses, yet they fail to think in such simple, practical terms.
At times like these, a government should be seen doing what governments are meant to do, protecting and assisting its citizens.
South African media have reported on the plight of these Zimbabweans almost every day. The situation is neither hidden nor unknown. Yet there has been no meaningful humanitarian response from Harare.
The government and its supporters will no doubt come up with all sorts of excuses. But this really is straightforward. Send buses. Bring your people home. Waive customs duties on their personal belongings. They have been forced into this situation by the climate of xenophobia and Afrophobia they have experienced in South Africa.
A government’s responsibility is not to make excuses. It is to act.
Warning ⚠️
Never forget the Ngoshe Massacres.
There’s been an ongoing genocide of Christians in Africa at the hands of Islamic Groups
Candace, Tucker etc. silent.
UN/Media are silent.
While they frame Israel for “genocide” to distract you and these Islamist groups can keep taking swathes of Africa by force without the world noticing.
When in reality Israel is fighting against the same ideology as the people who did this to African Christians.
Why does no one care?
In Africa, Arab Muslims are enslaving black African Christians.
The media, progressives, Palestinian protesters, the UN, and even the Pope remain silent.
