Zim could soon collapse-S.A's Zuma

2008-11-25

(SomaliNet) South Africa's ANC leader Jacob Zuma said on Monday that prominent figures, including former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, believe Zimbabwe could soon collapse due to a political and economic crisis. "They believe the situation is very bad. They believe things could collapse in a few months time in Zimbabwe," Zuma told reporters after meeting Annan, former US President Jimmy Carter and other prominent figures.

Annan, Carter and Nelson Mandela's wife, Graca Machel, are among a group of prominent figures and former statesmen called The Elders. They were barred by Zimbabwe from visiting to assess a humanitarian crisis there this weekend.

#3 Thanks to their contacts in Antwerp and the ME, Zimbob and Grace are still doing a lucrative diamond business. Their gold portfolio is managing to keep up as well. His plundering continues unabated. Unless his health fails I doubt he'll be leaving the field soon.
