President Jacob Zuma and the ANC should note that voters’ patience could run out if they remain victims of living in poverty because of their government’s corruption and abuse of power. The peaceful revolution of Zimbabwe can easily spill over to SA.
A point made by FF Plus’s leader, Dr. Pieter Groenewald, after it became known that Robert Mugabe resigned as president of Zimbabwe.
Dr. Groenewald said it seems that Mugabe had finally realized what the true extent of the situation in the country is. He said that if one observes the spontaneous joy of the public in Zimbabwe, it is clear how suppressed they felt under the regime of Mugabe. They lived in poverty and starvation and witnessed the wealth of the Mugabe family and their cronies.
The FF Plus hopes democracy will now prevail in Zimbabwe and that Mugabe’s successor will not abuse his or her power to suppress Zimbabweans further.
“We hope the new government will create favorable conditions for Zimbabwe to be built up economically and that its people in SA will return to their country and contribute to the economic growth of the whole region.”
