More pressure is building up in South Africa’s ruling ANC party as the party increases its call for a lifting of sanctions on President Robert Mugabe and persons close to his ZANU PF party.
Weeks after the expulsion of pro-Mugabe former youth president Julius Malema a spokesperson for the party’s junior arm the Youth League told ZimEye Thursday they nearly 14 days ago unanimously resolved to re-escalate the matter:

SA pushes that sanctions on Zimbabwe be lifted -

“The ANC Youth League has got a collective decision on it. Our policy conference that was held two weeks ago resolved that amongst the issues that we would take forward to the ANC policy conference is the lifting of sanctions on Zimbabwe,” she said.
The ANC controlled South African government Thursday made its latest call for the sanctions to be lifted. President Jacob Zuma’s top foreign policy advisor, Lindiwe Zulu(pictured-right) was quoted by Reuters on Thursday stating that sanctions have not worked. she said that the whole of Africa is calling for their lifting:
“It’s not just Zimbabwe that’s saying the sanctions are not working. The entire continent is saying that,” she said.
Zulu who is part of a delegation that for months has been leading negotiation efforts among the three parties, MDC-T, MDC, and ZANU PF, has in the past clashed with President Robert Mugabe.
South Africa’s ruling party has adopted a soft approach to the crisis across the Limpopo.
Analysts say the sanctions have been exploited by Mugabe for his political purposes, blaming them for his party’s economic blunders that have caused what once was one of Africa’s richest nations to now be among its poorest.
Zulu is part of a Southern African Development Community initiative led by Zuma aimed at ending the political turmoil in Zimbabwe and holding free and fair elections by next year.
South Africa’s president Jacob Zuma was tasked to mediate in the Zimbabwean crisis by SADC after MDC-T temporarily pulled out of the unity government in 2009 as frustration intensified over Mugabe’s refusal to fully implement the GPA.
ANC pumps more pressure for lifting of Zimbabwe sanctions-

Apart from outstanding issues such as the appointment of the Attorney General Johannes Tomana and Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono, the MDC formations have continuously expressed concern over the unilateral stripping of ministerial powers by President Robert Mugabe on its ministers. Among a list of thorny issues was the appointment of MDC-T Treasurer Roy Bennett who is now living in exile in the UK after he was constantly arrested tried, but later acquitted before new charges were laid on him again.
The most recent thorny matter has been the position of the Deputy Prime Minister which is currently being clutched by prof Arthur Mutambara who was ousted from party leadership, replaced by Prof Welshaman Ncube, and a High Court ruling rendered him party-less. But the DPM Mutamabra has continued to hold on and it was this week announced he would appeal to the Supreme Court.
It is largely speculated that ZANU PF fears that Welshamn Ncube’s connections with Jacob Zuma as an in law relation may make Ncube super powerful in the unity government. (ZIMBABWE, ZimEye)

  1. Thanks Cde T Musango for putting these ungreatful Ndex idiots to their proper place. The ANC without Zuma and Mentashe will always be a very good political party second from Zanu pf.

  2. What illegal sanctions are you talking about you useless bit of dirt. You listen to too much ZBC and maybe if you can read, too much Herald!Are you referring to the financial restrictions that the west has imposed on you dirty bunch of thieves? There are no other sanctions because there is nothing stopping you from travelling to the East or buying your goods in the East, the USA, Europe or SA? The West don’t want certain pieces of shona scum in their countries so they have imposed “travel sanctions” on these savages. Other than that you can import and export what you like. Look, your own shona brothers are able to loot the diamonds & gold and export them. So what are you going on about you ignorant idiot? Oh, I know, you shonas are after the western white mans money – that’s what it is! Well, I tell you what comrades, for as long as there are people around like me, you can all get fuc.ed! We will make sure the west does not give you a cent, regardless of whether you are starving, or live in slums or eat rats to survive. Go to your new yellow brothers for money – they are your new masters and bankers now.

  3. WE MOVE AHEAD IN TIMES OF ILLEGAL SANCTIONS AND AS SOON AS THEY ARE REMOVED WE WILL MOVE AHEAD WITH SPEED…VIVA AFRICA!!!

  4. T Musango tells us all that the shonas are rulers and that they were created to be leaders! This idiot is a joke – he believes in his own lies. The only ruling the shonas have done is to rule the country into the ground. Their ruling is defined as: ruling through criminal activities, through crime & corruption, through theft by conversion. The list of negative shona rulings is endless. Look at all the Government Parastatals that they have ruled and destroyed in the process; Air Zimbabwe, Zisco, ZESA, The Railways, Agriculture and look at the banking infrastructure. We don’t even have our own currency, instead we have adopted the American white mans currency. And this useless uneducated idiot tells us that they are born to rule. You are born thieves you fool! You are born destroyers. Show us one piece of goodness you have brought to this world! Nothing, apart from crime! And, unlike you, you idiot we don’t run to the diaspora like you shona do – we are here in Zimbabwe, fighting your system. Where are you? In a ghetto in London – stay there and rot you hopeless bit of scum!!!

  5. Fools waste precious time ranting n raving,e wise js go get it. Let e usual tribalist bark n eternally feel inferior n sorry 4 emselves. Enos Nkala is on record saying ndebeles r naturally lazy pple, Conti Mhlanga signed out by saying ndebeles shld stp being cry babies n be like e Hararians who support ea of their own n shld also stp e Egoli dream. Obert Mpofu believes he’s e most obedient son of Mugabe,John Nkomo wld rather let e politikal status quo drags on. So why blame e shonas who nvr instigate any tribalist diatribes,except in self dfnce,agnst any1. Plz dnt hate e game…….

  6. The ANC will not fight for the former Rhodies war. Even the MDC Councillors and MPs are looters like Zanupf. Bulawayo council gurus are paying themselves hefty 10,000 to 15,000 USds, buying luxurious cars to show off while every thing else is crumbling. By the way the ANC meets Zanupf at party level but never meets other Zim political parties at that level. There are regular party contacts. It is up to the people of Zimbabwe to know those who assist in the fight for freedom and democracy while accepting a reality that the ANC of South Africa has always said they support Zanupf and they will help them regain their lost political popularity. The situation is made worse by the un-repentant whites who gang up against the black leaders. The ANC has no choice at the moment but to call for sanctions lifting instead of supporting Bennet and other Rhodies.

  7. @masango- I’Fri, Jun 15, 2012 stop ths tribal sh*t….claimin that ndex wil be ruled by shona till z e kind of statement which brings e tribal vedges!!besides hw du expct the ndex 2 win when they are out numbered by the same shona!!Gukurahundi they cut them all down…..the anc’s move to act towards removal sanctions might lead to regime change..but as far as I’m concerned regime change is not the solution to zims crisis, mugabes removal will lead to a power vaccum just like what happenned in libya….liyabona /maiona here nyaya yakhona…..
    @sibanda – which powerful organisations are you tokn about

  8. Malema apologises for calling Zille names,whites are ruling they will remove sanctions at their own time not bcoz of ANC or useless AU get used to it maShona

  9. Ya, T Musango yes maShona are leaders at Methodist Church,Mzansi robots,brothels n Western Cape farms I say sanctions must stay until there are no maShona species left in this world.Zim should be separated from the rest of the continent n thrown into Atlantic ocean and left there to drown

  10. Cedhodhi, keep waffling on the net, while others are moving on. U think parroting tribal poop will make u or yo tribe powerful? U are going to be ruled by the Shona kusvika zvanaka. Everyday, u keep puffing and pooping on the net but never in real life. U will die in the diaspora while others are enjoying the fruits of the country. Keep imagining as it makes yo days enjoyable. Real man act but yo kind are just pooping izinja (dogs) with no real challenge. Keep on fighting yo tribal war on the net till u die, with nothing gained but frustration and stress. The Shona were created to be Leaders and yo masters, while u puff and rant on the net. Keep ranting and calling us names on the net for that will satisfy yo ego but nothing else. Isu we act, we do not rant. U have been promising war on the Shona for ages with nothing materializing. The Zulus have forsaken u and now they are fighting alongside the great Zimbabwean Leader Bob. Soon u will tie of ranting and die from frustration while the Shona keep ruling.

  11. Dream on ANC, powerful organizations such as ourselves will never let it happen! We flex our muscles and you flinch! We have proved it time and time again – the latest being the fact that we denied access to Malema visiting the UK. Trust me all you shona comrades out there who have ulterior motives hidden beneath those skins of yours – we have the power now to control and determine your destinies!Our Organization is a force to be reckoned with and one that will use time to deliberately prolong your agony and suffering! Remember Comrades, you voted that shona speaking savage mugabe into power in the first place! Then you wanted to try the same thing again with Tsangarai – it will never happen, not twice in a row anyway. One lot of destructive shona individuals on a looting spree is enough. I’m afraid you will not be given the chance to commit the same crimes again!

  12. Ncube super powerfull? Rubbish what is Zuma? One can only have power from the pple like R.G MUGABE.
