    The British can pretend Mnangagwa and his coup cabinet have changed the truth is they are the same corrupt, vote rigging and murderous thugs of Mugabe days. The British are clearly desperate to find new trading partners following the country’s vote to leave the EU. Their shameless flirting with these Zanu PF thugs is shameful, to say the least!

    Three years ago, the EU lifted all the targeted sanctions against all Zanu PF thugs except Mugabe and his wife. It was no secret that it was the Belgians who had lobbied hard and long for that. All they wanted was the sanctions lifted so they could join China, Israel, India, Lebanon and other countries in the free for all looting of Zimbabwe’s diamonds.

    The sanctions were imposed because the Zanu PF government had failed to hold free and fair elections amongst many other human rights violations. The Belgians wanted the sanctions lifted even thou there was no evidence the Mugabe regime had not changed. Belgium’s heartless indifference to the suffering and deaths of black Africans is one of the darkest stain in human history; what they did in DRC during their colonial rule is a shame of shames. They lost DRC as a colony but they had not lost their insatiable greed for Africa’s wealth and their indifference to whatever misery their exploitation brings to the black Africans.

    After all the lobbying and getting the sanctions successfully lifted the Zanu PF thugs announced the country will be auctioning the country’s diamond haul in Dubai; a middle finger to the Belgians who were cocksure they were getting the business as their well-earned reward.

    Ever since the British people voted to leave the EU this Theresa May government has been flirting with the Zanu PF thugs from all factions, hedging its bet to make sure whichever side wins it will have a head start in re-engaging the new regime. Ever since the November coup, you are right, the British have gone into overdrive in their zeal to normalise relationship and trade with the Mnangagwa regime.

    If someone was to table a UN resolution to condemn Zimbabwe’s November coup, there is no doubt that the British would out do the usual suspects in spiking the resolution long before it reached the Security Council. If it did, the British will veto, just as they vetoed the UN resolution condemning Ian Smith’s UDI all these years ago.

    If PM Theresa May continue with her overdrive zeal, regardless of all the warning signs that Zanu PF is still a party of corrupt, vote rigging and murderous thugs, and Mnangagwa rigs the coming elections; PM May will look just as foolish and inapt as when she called a snap election and lost!

    There is nothing “great” about meeting corrupt, vote rigging and murderous thugs? This is a one-night stand where someone will be nursing a black eye. What will be the twitter message then!
