The South African government has said that it is determined to allow the export of a consignment of Chinese weapons and ammunition to the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.

I salute South African Trade Unions for their resolute stance. I pray that the Angolans will have the same proactive stance and help to bring back nomalsy in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is not at war with anyone at the moment and with its population barely fed,with no fuel in the country, what does Mugabe's government need that amount of ammunition for? To torture the innocent for exercising their right in choosing whom they want as a leader? The money used on those weapons could be well spent to meet needs in hospitals, schools and mending those roads with knee-deep potholes. PASI NEVADZVANYIRIRI VASINGADI KUSIYA ZVIGARO.
Why is the blame never pointed towards the ones who deserve it like the british for not living up to the lancaster house accord and the u.s. (with embargoes and economical sanctions. All because a Black country fought and won its independence, whites don't want Zimbabwe to become a sucess because it might cause other Black countries to become truly free from white world terror. So this is why the stranglehold on countries such as Haiti, Cuba, etc. Magabe is not the problem the problem is white world terror
First of all,there is no embargo by any country in the world, or by any international organization against Zimbabwe. Secondly, embargos do not work. Unless the embargo is strictly unilateral, any embargo will have a gap. Thirdly, don't put the blame on western nations. Where is the African Union? As long as it and the ANC have had responsibility, they do almost nothing to relieve the tension on the continent.
James please check out the u.s governments official web site on Zimbabwe.
You might want to read the lancaster accord which was/is the problem that the west never lived up to. the African Union did not cause this problem nor can they correct it, as i said put the blame were it belongs.

James is right ; there is no embargo by any country in the world, or by any international organization against Zimbabwe. There is an executive order against certain memebers of Mugabe govt. ie Those that are stealing from the state coffers and acting undemocratically against the constitution. I think you need to find out what Lancaster was about before you go any further, as you obviously have no idea.
Some other points you have wrong. There are no other white govts in Africa. PF did not win a war of independence, the white voted for universal franchise and had equal 50% black sharing four years before the Mugabe rigged elections which brought him to power. Also remember that when he came to power, he WAS a great leader, otherwise we would never have allowed it. It was only some 15 or so year later he lost his marbles and became absolutely corrupted by power. Last point is. Mainly bleeding heart whites who really wanted to make a difference stayed on to make a rainbow nation, not the white terror you refer to.
Every one of those bullets would probably kill an innocent Zimbabwean so We Salute You.
