FREE ZIM YOUTH is calling on Zimbabweans and Human Rights Defenders to 
put pressure on the South African Government to condemn the continuing 
injustice and misrule in Zimbabwe

We Young Zimbabweans feel betrayed by President Mbeki's quiet diplomacy 
while we suffer at the hands of

Mugabe’s regime. The world has witnessed again how Zimbabwe Congress of 
Trade Unions and civic leaders have been brutalized while peacefully 
demonstrating for fair wages and basic rights.

South Africa has blocked calls for the UN to probe human rights abuses 
in Zimbabwe and has endorsed Zimbabwe’s elections in spite of violent 
intimidation. Mbeki knows that the Zimbabwe government violates SADC and 
AU democratic principles and by remaining silent he endorses this violation.

We wish to salute South African civic organizations that condemn abuses 
in Zimbabwe and stand in solidarity with ordinary Zimbabweans.

The Zimbabwean people supported South Africans in the fight against 
Apartheid and now its time for South Africa to support Zimbabweans in 
the fight against Mugabe's tyranny.

During the fight against apartheid, the ANC called for International 
solidarity to help topple the white minority regime. Now Zimbabweans ask 
for International solidarity the ANC government of South Africa turns a 
blind eye, Shame on Mbeki.
