Hmmmm.
“Why attack a fellow Black man from Sourthen part of Africa. We are all Bantus. Infact, I am Ngoni by tribe but live in Malawi. I dont have motives to go to South Africa because I am well educated and comfotably work in Malawi. At least I could ve understood them if they ve attacked non-black people: whites, Asians and others. But all forms of violence are unceptable.”
Well. I’m glad you added that last sentence.
*shrug* What would work?
1. Invade, conquer and annex Zimbabwe by South Africa.
2. Depose and hang Mugabe and his cronies.
3. Divide Zimbabwe into a number of new South African provinces.
4. Establish the new provincial governments using experienced bureaucrats from South Africa.
5. Immediately reduce the South African military, particularly the Navy, to free up cash to invest in the new provinces and reassure other local nations that SA won’t be going on a takeover spree.
6. Ask the USA for a US Navy presence to help guard the coastline and to provide the US with a naval base. It’s rare for the US Navy to not want established bases everywhere.
7. Use the credibility of the SA government, as compared to the Zimbabwe one, to re-establish provincial economies and foreign investment.
The fact is that Zimbabwe isn’t just damaged socially or economically. It’s totally damaged with respect to white investors and foreign investors. Even if Mugabe were deposed it’s clear the replacement government would be far too weak, i.e. NO tax income worth talking about, to either establish authority properly or have the credibility to draw in foreign investors. There is simply no way a Zimbabwe government could reassure investors that the next government elected into office won’t do the same thing as Mugabe. And that’s because the power block that supports Mugabe is too large and well entrenched for a replacement government to deal with.
The SA government, particularly if the military were reformed into an anti-guerilla and peace enforcement force along with a powerful provincial police, could force stability that would draw in investors. Especially if the SA government returned all white owned farms back to their original owners, something the Zimbabwe government would find impossible to do as few whites would trust it.
Let’s face it. Zimbabwe is destroyed and it’s doubtful it could be rebuilt without a massive infusion of Western cash. Something the neither US economy nor it’s voters will support. And who else would?
