the Zimbabwe problem is coming home to roost. with the Zimbabwe economy pretty well a beggars economy, it needs free energy from its neighbours. it needs food, which drive up local prices causing inflation in the border towns, as Zimbabweans flock across the border. wages are lowered as Zimbabweans will work for way less then fellow Africans to feed their families at home. the SADC is as useless and mbeki and his Quiet diplomacy. you reap what you sow, the table has lost a leg(Zimbabwe)and soon others legs will start to wobble till they fall over. Wheres a carpenter when you need one, words dont fix things, action does.
