The Vigil believes that SADC leaders must make it clear to Mugabe that they will not accept his foot-dragging over the already agreed new constitution and his readiness to unleash the security forces to undermine the census – a taste of what is likely during the referendum on the constitution.
We were pleased to see the remarks on Zimbabwe by the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, in an article in the Times. He says now is not the time for the international community to turn its back on the people of Zimbabwe, and criticized the easing of targeted sanctions on the Mugabe regime. He also called for the reinstatement of the SADC Tribunal.
The Vigil hopes President Zuma will take the Archbishop’s advice to heart and stand up to Mugabe. He must know that Zanu (PF) paid for the recent bizarre visit to London by the ANC renegade
Julius Malema during which he boasted that Zuma would soon be ousted. It is not just Zimbabwe that is on the precipice.
