*SADC Criticised For Ignoring The Suffering Masses Of Zimbabwe* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?oo The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has been condemned for ignoring the suffering of the masses in Zimbabwe. Writing in The East African, Tinashe Chimedza said that while the political elite in SADC was condemning the sanctions against Zimbabwe, demonstrations in Harare against the worsening social, economic and political crises were being brutally crushed by police. ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- Showing solidarity with the political class in Zimbabwe while abandoning the citizens will likely result in more social unrest. Chimedza opines: > The ruling political class has been very quick to point to the sanctions imposed by the US as a stumbling block to economic transformation. > There is no doubt that the sanctions have restricted the ability of Zimbabwe to access financial facilities from the likes of the IMF and the World Bank. But the story goes further than this. > Zimbabwe’s growth prospects have been hampered by widespread corruption. When the army generals placed Mugabe under house arrest and then he subsequently resigned, they cited corruption around the president as a cause of political instability in the country. > What has since emerged is that for the past four decades in Zimbabwe, the ruling elites have inserted themselves in every corner of the economy – the political class is now the business class. > … Africa has changed and the nationalist movements have been in power for a while now. The nationalist movement has been in power in Zimbabwe for almost four decades and they have made a mess of things. > Unless the regional leaders confront the real problem of militarism in Zimbabwe’s politics, the cycle of repression and protest will continue and more Zimbabweans will continue fleeing poverty. > As Nelson Mandela once said, the Zimbabwe crisis is a leadership crisis. *More: The East African* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
