With a reputation for atrocities somewhere between Pol Pot
and Idi Amin, nonagenarian and self-styled illegitimate Zimbabwean President
Mugabe has been slaughtering white farmers in a sanctioned land grab and
keeping his 14 million inhabitants starving and diseased while he occupies
grandiose palaces... one for each day of the week.
Miniature megalomaniac Mugabe tortures and murders his political
opponents and refuses to accept election results. A quarter million whites have
either been ruthlessly murdered or have fled this worst of all regimes. Pockets
of whites now number fewer than 20,000.
South of this landlocked diamond-rich country, apartheid reigned
supreme under P. W. Botha. The world isolated him with vicious sanctions, they
refused him recognition and no sporting teams, including rugby and cricket
teams were permitted to contest with South Africa until, after 40 years,
apartheid was dismantled.
Why am I saying this? Well in a desperate attempt to avoid the ABC’s
Q&A last night I channel-flicked to the Australian cricket team playing
Zimbabwe in Harare.
Of course the second grade Zimbabweans were thrashed by 198 runs but a
question lingered: Why the hell are we giving this foulest of regimes
credibility by competing with it? Not a placard of protest was to be seen in
the small crowd.
Does the normally noisy Left excuse a black regime's persecution of
whites in this, a perverted form of reverse apartheid?
Seems so.
