‘South Africa Won’t Meddle in Zim Politics’
18 August 2016
JOHANNESBURG. – South Africa shouldn’t get involved in Zimbabwe’s affairs – unless it’s asked to. That is according to International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane.
She made the remarks during an interview with eNCA’s Thulasizwe Simelane. The minister was responding to calls by Zimbabwean activists for South Africa to pressure President Mugabe’s Government.But, Nkoana-Mashabane argues that President Mugabe was lawfully re-elected in 2013 when Zimbabweans had the opportunity to change things during the country’s elections, but they voted overwhelmingly for President Mugabe.
She says the only way Zimbabweans can effect change is through voting.
“It’s going to take Zimbabweans to do what they think is good for themselves through the polls, because in Sadc we believe in democracy,” she said.
Nkoana-Mashabane also defended Sadc’s decision to allow Africa’s last absolute monarch, King Mswati the third, to chair the regional body.

“It is the people of Swaziland who would say we would want to move to a situation like Lesotho, where the King reigns but not neccesarily governs, and then Sadc sees how they support that.” Nkoana-Mashabane is unfazed by criticism levelled at her following her recent statements on Nigeria, the USA, as well as her performance in an Aljazeera interview in May. – eNCA.

South Africans are Lazy mother furckers ! They are afraid of Zimbabwe becomes liberated from Mugabe ,our economy will boost the whole of Africa. Lets learn lessons time will come when this also happens in South Africa. 3 million Zimbabweans work and live in South Africa so they are afraid because we have the most educated people in africa running thier country.Shame on you Zuma thats why you took a bath after fucking an HIV positive prostitute.
I don’t understand why we seem and foolishly continue to rate South Africa’s ANC govt, they’re just a bunch of useless lot just like zanupf. They’ve since brought their currency to ground and it continues to slide precariously unabated. I wrote them off a long time ago, in my view whether they support us or not it all counts to nothing. I actually don’t need them near Zim politics, this woman should just shut up and keep far far away. Even mugabe bashed her to size way back, she’s dismally trying to be relevant, nothing else. How so cheap !

South Africa is benefiting from Zimbabwe’s chaos so the government will not support ordinary Zimbabweans who who are fighting for freedom. Zimbos we shall win Zimbabwe on our own and soon we shall be watching when South Africa goes through exactly what has gone on in Zimbabwe.

The SA govt fully supports the totalitarian govt of RG Mugabe. They have sufficient information on how the rogue regime of Mugabe rigged elections and they are benefiting from our cheap labour.
