I regularly hear from them and the fear of death is most common in their correspondence with me. I just can not understand why a country so great as South Africa is supporting the current despot and regime and turning it's eyes away from the suffering? Is South Africa doing the same thing now that it's own ANC freedom fighters were fighting against for decades? I am so saddened that South Africa is ignoring the screams of freedom fighters and starving children in Zimbabwe. How much blood needs to be spilled before the South African government starts to act as a real world leader and is willing to practice what it preaches? What is it afraid of? Maybe, I am naive and I just don't understand but someone like President Mbeki must be getting his Swiss bank accounts filled or South Africans just don't care.
