Zim Refugee Problem Could Get A Lot Worse

According to the British government, China is to withdraw backing from Zimbabwe. This is huge as China was probably the largest supplier of foreign currency to Zimbabwe. If this doesn’t somehow push Mugabe out of power I expect that there will be some major crackdowns on opposition parties and the economic situation to get even worse leading to a renewed wave of Zimbabwean political and economic refugees crossing into SA.

Since everyone has run out of ideas on what to do about Zim: how about SA paying off Mugabe’s army – if indeed they are still prepared to prop up his government – then move in and declare Zim to be our 10th province? Surely there are enough Zimbabweans in SA to support this, hahaha.

Not to tempt fate but can it get much worse? What economy is left to collapse, what opposition is left to crackdown upon, of those who can leave who have not?
