Why do we sit back?
22/03/2007 12:56 - (SA)
Dear Editor,
Our great nation, once plagued by a system based on human rights violations, only changed because the national party could no longer justify running their system financially due to international pressure. Not because they thought it was time for change.
We now sit on the other side of the fence, watching a system in Zimbabwe that operates based on human rights violations and we refuse to get involved.
What am I supposed to read from our government's lack of reaction, taking into account that the situation adversly affects our economy?
Those who are in a position to help have forgotten what living under apartheid was like, and give no credit to the people that helped them when they needed it.
Why rock the boat when you're lining your pockets and the very people you fought to free starve to death, live in squalor or die of Aids.
Jeremy,
Johannesburg
