My Comment: If your gets the flu (Zimbabwe), expect to get the flu also. The ANC has been ruling South Africa since the nineties. Even with a boom in its resource sector, it still cannot meet the needs of its poorest citizens. Throw in the incredible spread of AIDS in the country, the crime, and tribal tensions ..... always tribal tensions in Africa .... you then the environment in which people just explode.
The military will be controlling the situation in the next few days, but the damage and harm has already been done. And this is the country that will be hosting the World Cup in 2010?
Thabo Mbeki has done nothing to help Zimbabwean situation so thats what you get after all if the Zimbabwean situation was okay there was not going to be any refugee problem. By protecting SA interests in minning resources in Zimbabwe he chose to ignore the Zimbabwean humanitarian crisis so it works both ways, you ignore a problem then it comes to your backyard.
