I am sure many of us still remember the cruel killing of Mr Patel, the late Indian businessman. Then there was the Zimbabwean man who went on a raping spree only a few weeks back. These incidents are just a drop in the ocean of atrocities committed by Zimbabwean nationals in our country. For ages now, Zimbabweans have committed all sorts of crimes against citizens of this country at will. These are the crimes that have saddened us, enraged us and instilled fear in us. We all know how the majority of people feel . What still remains to be known is what our leaders think. Honestly, I am so sick and tired of them hiding behind the xenophobia and diplomacy ! What is xenophobia exactly? Because this word is thrown around so much it has lost meaning. Our leaders avoid taking responsibility because of this word. Our politicians will discuss anything but the Zimbabwean perpetrated terrors. They avoid it like a plague. All because they want to keep the peace and wouldn't want to be accused of the magic word-xenophobia.
We see our leaders posing for the cameras with Zimbabwean leaders, talking about the years when they supported each other during the years of struggle. They will discuss their undying friendship and anything else. Anything, but the fact that Zimbabweans terrorize us. There is something wrong with this picture.
