A fair question Galaxy Flyer,
South Africa is beset by a political leadership structure which can be likened to a termite infested wooden house with a neat(ish) coat of paint on the outside.
SA really should, however, be spearheading, or facilitating an ethically (please note: not ethnically) appropriate political change in Zim.
The first (recent) election result in Zim, even though heavily rigged, showed that the Zimbabwean population want, and need a new, and hopefully decent president. Robert Mugabe is a despotic criminal with a very warped outlook on life.
My opinion... SA politicians (Mbeke especially) have a vested interest in the status quo... Hence my feeling that the Mugabe bunch should be "removed" by an effective, focussed, and short-term international action. It's just the top bunch in Zim that need to be re-accommodated, so-to-speak.
