Why is Tokyo Sexwale supporting Mugabe and Zanu-PF?

I heard Tokyo Sexwale, on a clip broadcast by SAFM, saying at the Zanu-PF conference that “the ANC would always support Zanu-PF” and that they would help them win the elections.

Help them win – how? The same way they have “won” since 2000? By intimidation, displacement of voters, refusing new registrations?

The real question is “Why”?

The “Liberation Leaders” kleptocracies of Africa have not enriched themselves on land. Most of Africa is either subsistence farming or undeveloped. If you want to understand “ why” read the book “The Trouble with Africa” by Robert Calderisi. The land issue in both Zimbabwe and Africa is a red herring.

Robert Mugabe was alleged to be worth 60 billion dollars before 2001, when the land grabs started. I doubt he made that from selling milk to Nestlé in less than a decade.

What the kleptocrats of Africa have plundered is mineral wealth.

Tokyo led the delegation of business “investors” from SA to Zimbabwe as well.

Tokyo has mining interests.

Nelson Mandela’s grandson and Zuma’s nephew have invested millions in mines in Africa.

Mbeki’s family were said to be related to Mugabe’s by marriage.

Is the ANC elite linked to the Zanu-PF elite in mining ventures in Africa?

Is this why the ANC will “help” Zanu-PF win the elections? ...- Richmark Sentinel
