A third of Zimbabwe is of South African heritage . Many
South African luminaries are of Zimbabwean Heritage, the first President of ANC
itself was of Zimbabwean Heritage . The ANC has chosen to align with a faction
in Zanu PF hence our interest because we have always sought an impartial
neighbour and in principle a neighbour should be a neighbour to a Country not
to a faction .
Their role in the GPA brokered GNU in 2008 under the Mbeki
Government was premised on their impartiality. Zuma despatched two Security Ministers to Zimbabwe at the onset of the Coup
riding on that principle of impartiality
. Subsequently the Ramaphosa adminstratiom has failed to live up to that
expectation . It is what it is.
We pray for recalibration to impartiality because we will
always need impartiality from each other as neighbours . It is not
statesmanship to entrench divisions in each other 's countries rather seek to
unite a people. National Unity in both
our Countries is prime currency . Rushing to bandage each other ' s festering wounds does not treat anything. He
