For all who have any length of memory, they would recall it was that butterfly shaped nation called Zambia Mwanawasa heads that liberated literally everyone in Southern Africa. Levy as president is merely only living to the nation’s expectations, the top dog in Southern Africa, leading the light weights like Mbeki, showing them the right way. After all, Thabo was a refugee in Zambia for 27 years, when Levy talks about failure of silent diplomacies, he should listen, attentively!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('71519','Duke Malenga'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('71519','Duke Malenga','Itâs very interesting indeed that it had to take Zambia once again to say it like it is, âSilent diplomacy has failed with Mugabeâ.

Sokari, the Archbishop is a truly good decent man. He is to me what Nelson Mandela is to South Africans. He is very brave.

We have to be encouraged and hopeful that there are changes in the pipeline.

Hope - Sokwanele activist

It seems Mr Mbeki values beign seen to be loyal to an old struggle comrade above all else - human rights included. I, for one, would be quite happy to see other African countries take the lead in censuring Mugabe - it might give the South African government pause for thought. Maybe SA is not (as the government seemingly believe) the most powerful country south of the Sahara just because the economy is apparently booming and we have been the golden child of the international community since 1994. To be a true leader, you need to lead by example, and the example that the Mbeki government has set has been a poor one indeed.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('43797','Jeanne'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('43797','Jeanne','South Africa\'s silence throughout the shameful abuses that Robert Mugabe has perpetrated on Zimbabwe and its people will be the stain of shame that will forever mark the Mbeki administration.
