Over 23 000 Zimbabweans deported from SA; trickle will become a flood after elections!


Over 23 000 Zimbabweans were deported from SA in January to April this year. Over 2 000 were deported from Botswana in the same period.

Zimbabwe’s political and economic mess has forced millions of Zimbabweans to leave the country. There are two to three million Zimbabweans in SA today and less than half a million of them have had their stay regularized. There are so, so many Zimbabweans still to be deported.

Zimbabwe is set for yet another bloody election process which will generate yet another wave of political and economic refugees fleeing across the country’s borders. The present trickle of refugees will soon become a flood after the elections. The present trickle of deportees will soon become a flood after the elections.

In the last five years Zimbabwe had a real chance to end this Zanu PF dictatorship and bring about real democratic change, a prerequisite for economic recovery and the return to rule of law. Tsvangirai’s failure to get the reforms implemented is going to cost the nation dearly and we ain’t seen nothing yet!

MDC has had five years to implement the agreed democratic reforms and they did not. If you take your head out of your backside for just one minute then you will see there are no blooming flowers but that the nation is heading straight for another bloody election and whoever forms the next government is a matter of indifference since they will do nothing to end the political and economic mess!

No my friend, it is idiots like you who are holding Zimbabwe back by refusing to open your eyes for once! People like Tsvangirai, Gutu, etc. are breathtakingly incompetent and you are just too stupid to see and/or acknowledge it.
