ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

So as Zimbabweans are murdered beaten tortured or disappear or die of Aids or cholera exacerbated by acute malnutrition, dictator Robert Mugabe's ex-Labour, Public Service and Social Welfare Minister and former ambassador to Australia Florence Chitauro comfortably resides in a lavish apartment in West London, not far from number 10 Downing Street and the British Home Office.

Are British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Home Office mandarins aware of  Ms Chitauro’s comfortable and cosy existence almost on their doorstep, and do they know exactly who she is? Let me enlighten them. During her time as a Zimbabwean government minister, Florence Chitauro ruthlessly carried out  Mugabe’s cruel and autocratic policies by brutally suppressing strikes by Zimbabwes workers.

It is astonishing that despite the damning and vociferous political rhetoric a former key player within the Zimbabwe rogue regime is allowed sanctuary here in the United Kingdom, whilst her fellow citizens wallow in misery and despair. Then again it more astonishing to see her former boss so easily circumventing targeted sanctions and travelling to the UN and EU countries by open invitation.

Ms Chitauro is well acquainted with Zimbabwe’s suffering masses as she often visits her homeland and sees first hand the destruction and devastation wreaked by her former colleagues. However she remains unashamed and unrepentant. In fact she is so very cocksure of her British residency that when asked if she had denounced the Mugabe regime she replied: No, I’m not going to say that.’

In terms of immigration strategies there will be no change until the wise old adage of Actions Speak Louder Than Words’ applies equally to the culprits and the victims.
