I am concerned by the reports of a ship full of arms off the coast of southern Africa destined for Zimbabwe.

This is at a time in Zimbabwe when the education sector is crumbling, the health sector is crumbling, transport is crumbling and four million people are in urgent need of food. 80% of the country live in poverty and inflation is 165,000%.

Instead of helping to rebuild the country the Mugabe regime is buying guns, in all likelihood to use against his own people as part of a campaign of intimidation targeting those who voted against Mugabe and the ZANU(PF).

The fact that South African dockers refused to offload the ship speaks volumes about how ordinary Africans feel about the Mugabe regime.
