ZEF slams SA complicity

ernments and the international community towards lasting solutions in Zimbabwe
Ntsaluba was responding to a letter written to the SA foreign affairs ministry by the Zimbabwe Exiles Forum (ZEF), who called upon the SA government to put to an end continued human rights abuses by the Zimbabwe government.
“I have noted your concerns and wish to inform you that the Government of South Africa is constantly engaging the Government of Zimbabwe at the political, economic and social levels,” said Ntsaluba.
ZEF called for South Africa to put to an end to the wider crackdown on civil society organisations and human rights activists.
“Yet, in the face of such brutal repression, repression that forces millions of Zimbabweans into South Africa, your good office has been deafeningly silent on these atrocities. In fact, the perception is that the South African government has been shielding its counterpart from censure at international and regional platforms, thus giving the unavoidable impression that it is complicity in the repression going on across its northern border,” read the letter. – CAJ News
