International Relations and Cooperation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane has called on world leaders to open lines of credit to Zimbabwe and put an end to sanctions on that country.
[ See Article ]
Why should the west open credit lines to thieves? Why should the west open credit lines to leaders who do not respect democratic principals? Why should the west open credit lines to murderers and bullies?
There can be no guarantee with Mugabe and Gono in place that any line of credit will go to the places it is requried and not into the back pockets of these fraudsters.
Plain and simple.
Clean up the mess and home first, and then the money will flow. Otherwise they're just wasting their time.
Awt;
You seem to miss the point. The main issue, the main thrust of the Minister's speech was the removal of sanctions which you deny exist. Everybody else, including those on your side like Phiri have accepted what we have always been saying that there are sanctions on the people of Zimbabwe but you still want to hide behind your finger. WHY? The answer lies in who you are and who you work for - CIA.
Sanctions are not on a few individuals and companies but on the people of Zimbabwe and this is what the minister was talking about. She is concerned about the integration of the SADC region which is not possible as long as sanctions are in place.
MDC people who campaigned for the sanctions, the likes of Biti and Tsvangirai, are acknowledging the existence of sanctions on Zimbabwe but you, the killer of the Maori people, how long are you going to remain in denial - denying the undeniable?
Takunya, Mr "The CIA invented homosexuality" - no one takes you seriously. Why do you waste your time?
AWT looks like Mr "The CIA invented homosexualiity and HIV" is getting paid in US$ for talking GARBAGE!!! Havent u heard Mugga rant on about the BLITISH NOT BRITISH!! and those and no 10!!!
EXCAVATION OF THE DEBRIS IN RED, RED, RED COMRADE AWT-INDEPENDENT'S MORBID MIND
"Cholera was purposely introduced by Mugabe and ZANUpoofs. And Mugabe is a token of ALL AFRICAN leaders. Africans will always need the steady hand of the Euorpean prejudice of democracy, otherwise the Dark Continent will get even darker, and I cant agree more."
What an idiot: the DONKEY OF ZIMBABWE.
DickinSon,
Once again you make up a fictatious quote that is something I clearly would not have said. (I wont even bother to ask you for the link to this)
Readers here know this, and you've just gone and made yourself look more like an idiot that you aready are. Readers know this also.
Your attempts to discredit me are simply failing miserably. Pathetic really.
Jellyboobs the idiot.
"Total Empowerment!"
THE SAGACITY OF PUNY, RED, RED, COMRADE AWT-INDEPENDENT.
"I am the man of the hour on this site; accordingly, I have a reputation to protect. Dickison is trying to discredit me by correctly quoting statements that I have made. I have learned my lesson: the next time I cant agree more that I have to be very careful about the things I say on site and off site. Dickison has me on the run: this dude, who appears to be an American, keeps me awake at night. He is so nimble."
It appears that the DONKEY OF ZIMBABWE imagines he has a 'reputation' to protect.
The disgrace, the black sheep of Zimbabwe has a reputation?
WHAT THE ...! God save Zimbabwe from the DONKEY OF ZIMBABWE!
RSA is the major culprit in maintaining the bloodstained tyrant Mugabe in power. RSA must therefore foot the bill for Mugabe's misrule !
Any "sanctions" in place are NOT "illegal".
Any sovereign nation has the right to decide with whom they will and with whom they will not do business.
If the U.S. and the E.U. have "sanctions" on a limited number of Comrade Bob's sychophants, it is because they choose not to do business with people who have blood on their hands.
It is OUR sovereign right to choose who we do business with for our own reasons - it's none of your business, stop trying to interfere in our internal matters!
Besides, Zimbabwe is now "Totally Empowered!". Comrade Bob said it would be so - you don't doubt Comrade Bob's word do you?
I think the Honourable Minister is looking through rose coloured glasses. When zanu says it is committed to the future of Zimbabwe it means the zanu view. zanu actions so far this year shows that it firmly intends to keep the status quo.
That is why the West will stay away. All talk and no responsible action by zanu will get Zimbabwe nowhere.
God help the people of Zimbabwe because zanu wont!
The world wants to support Zimbabwe and all of her people. It's just that they are sick and tired of ZanuPf taking everything for themselves and forgetting the people. If all the support which Morgan has been drumming up for the people is not support, then what is. Yes I know Tak, you will say," but my President is not getting his 100 Us dollar a month." Interesting that one of his mansions in Harare is being put up for sale. he must be getting short of a bob or two.

I knew this lady was a performer, very mature, balanced, non partisan and focussed. You can feel South Africa's foreign policy on Africa well pegged for the advancement of African people. She enunciates the essence of regional integration rather than disintegration. I appreciate the echoes revebarating from Zansi.
Yes, the world must put an end to illegal sanctions.
