South Africa was very quick to comment on what is happening between Israel and Palestine but took forever to show concern about Zimbabwe.

To my understanding, the war between Israel and Palestine started a long time ago, before Jesus was born.

The deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe started not fewer than 14 years ago and South Africa has kept its silence.

The situation in Zimbabwe affects us directly, so the South African government should have been louder about it and left the Middle East people to deal with their problems.
