I heard on the radio news this morning that Archbishop Tutu is calling for a day of fasting to show support and solidarity with the poverty stricken and starving Zimbabweans. Yeah for the Arch – he is the one shining light that stays focused on the crisis taking place on our northern border.
I don’t mean to diminish the seriousness of the Israel/Gaza crisis but I sure as heck do wish that our politicians, diplomats and especially past and present presidents could have been as vocal and horrified with the human right violations in Zimbabwe as they have been about the Israeli/Gaza situation. So much for “silent diplomacy” for the Israelis - and they are not even our neighbours. It almost seems that the SA bunch has heaved a sign of relief and happily clambered onto the Israeli/Gaza band wagon - a welcome diversion to take the focus away from those poor benighted Zimbos.
So, keep up the noise Arch… some of us hear you.
