*Time For SADC To Confront Zimbabwe Head-on - OPINION* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?un It’s high time that Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries abandon the “non-interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign country” principle and confront Zimbabwe for going rogue, writes Jamie Mighti. The recent arrests and denial of bail for Hopewell Chin’ono, a Harvard trained investigative journalist, and Jacob Ngarivhume, an opposition politician, and the arrest of MDC Alliance activists who alleged abduction, torture and s_xual molestation is deeply repulsive and calls for SADC intervention. ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

He said: > It can honestly be said that Zanu-PF has reached that same standard of illegitimacy [comparable to racist settler governments]. > They can no longer be declared legitimate custodians of democracy and are acting in ways that subvert the will, the well-being, and the legitimate aspirations of the people. > The media has been suppressed. Political parties have been harassed and suppressed. People have been prevented from exercising their political rights. > The Constitution of Zimbabwe has been violated by the administration entrusted with upholding it. When do we reach the point where quiet diplomacy is discarded and active diplomacy is engaged? > … The Zimbabwean regime is enabled and emboldened by the silence of the region. They see they can publicly shoot civilians using live ammunition without regional pushback. > It encourages them to test the limits even further. When they see they can shut down the internet and kill activists, it encourages them to go further. > Now they see they can impose sham lockdown regulations to suppress protest, arrest investigative journalists, and once again the region will look the other way. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
