ANNEX ZIMBABWE

Annex Zimbabwe

A third force could be behind the recent escalation in violence against foreigners living in South Africa, Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said on Tuesday. Minister the third force you are referring to is called Poverty. This force is strengthened by the fact that we have an estimated four million illegal immigrants living in our poorest neighbourhoods using our already limited resources. But you should know this it is your department who is suggesting that we should be giving the “four million” limited residential status? Zimbabwe being unable to run its affairs I suggest we annex it and make Zimbabwe a province of South Africa.  

The Zimbabwe government has now cancelled “import tax” in a move yesterday to increase the flow of food into Zim this border erosion is happing naturally anyway and since we have four million Zimbabweans here there is good argument for absorption of Zimbabwe into South Africa.  We can take control of the mines and increase our reserves. We are far better at collecting taxes so after we annex Zimbabwe people can live where they want. It seems that after thirteen years we have not learned form separate development. What is evident is that some of our citizens seem to want their own forced removals. It is clear we have not learned from form the past the last thing we need now is a New African Apartheid.
