A recent South African court judgement that wants Pretoria to investigate Zimbabwean officials for alleged human rights abuses brings the SA justice system into disrepute, a Cabinet minister has said.
Justice and Legal Affairs Minister Patrick Chinamasa yesterday described the ruling as irrelevant saying it was a general judgement without specifics. Judge Hans Fabricius handed down the judgement in Pretoria last week saying it would stem the flood of ‘economic and political refugees’ into South Africa. The ruling becomes the first ever under South Africa’s statutes spelling out its international law obligations.

As the French and Greeks went to vote in tightly contested polls yesterday in which early exit polls showed that Nicolas Sarkozy had been given the boot, in Russia, former Prime Minister Vladmir Putin is being sworn in today as new president for the next six years. The weekend also saw United States of America president Barack Obama officially launching his re-election campaign. Lately, the African continent which has been a picture of doom and gloom in some Western countries’ eyes has been registering significant changes.

Various opinions are doing the rounds on the internet and other forms of media with regard to the issue of dual citizenship in Zimbabwe under the new draft Constitution should it become law.
This is in light of the impasse between the three Zimbabwean political parties that make up the inclusive government (ZANU PF, MDC-T, and MDC) on how to proceed with this rather sensitive issue, which may or may not have far reaching implications on the power dynamics in the country.

International criminal court finds former Liberian president guilty of war crimes in Sierra Leone, but decision ignores victims inside Liberia itself.The guilty verdict is a historic blow against the traditional impunity of presidents and dictators. But by ignoring Mr. Taylor’s many victims inside Liberia itself, it sent a message that political leaders are more vulnerable to prosecution for foreign crimes than domestic ones.

I have just been reading C G Tracey’s “All for Nothing?”, itself a weeping autobiography by one of Rhodesia’s leading farmers and, especially after UDI, one of Rhodesia’s leading sanctions-busters. The book is tearful about the loss of Tracey’s Mount Shannon, aka Mount Lothian farm, apparently in the course of our land reforms. But the book gives one the sense that this land loss triggers a long introspection in Tracey, much of it coinciding with major turns and shifts in the life of Southern Rhodesia both before and after UDI.
