ZIMBABWE BURNING! South Africa Rejects Request For $1.2billion Rescue Loan by TMKsouth: 10:08am On Jan 21, 2019
South Africa turned down a request from its southern African neighbour Zimbabwe for a $1.2 billion (about R16.6 billion) loan in December, a spokesman for the finance ministry said on Monday.

"South Africa doesn't have that kind of money," National Treasury spokesman Jabulani Sikhakhane said.

Zimbabwean officials were not immediately available for comment.

Zimbabwe was hit by deadly anti-government protests last week after a hike in fuel prices stoked anger over an economic crisis.

However, the are numerous reports that the South African finance minister Tito Mboweni is planning to extend short-term credit to Zimbabwe and also to help it write off its US$7.4-billion external debt, to prevent its neighbour spiralling out of control. Critics say this will be a waste of money unless it can pressure Zanu-PF to make political reforms.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa said on Sunday that he would return home from a European tour and skip the World Economic Forum in Davos to address the crisis.

A loan so their "leaders" can use it to buy Gucci merchandise? South Africa is already being very helpful to Zimbabweans. Some are beneficiaries of child support grants already. That kind of money doesn't grow on trees. We have our own problems & we can't keep bailing out people who don't want to get their act together. What happened to the other loans they got not too long ago?
In the 90s we gave them clothes, even though we were fresh out of our own mess.

Never! I wasn't aware of Swaziland, but with Zimbabweans, we have a long history. With us the ones doing all the giving & them taking every opportunity to bite the hand that feeds them.
There was a Zimbabwean woman living in my flat. She lost her job & the company owning the flat let her stay. The other tenants, myself included, helped her with food, electricity etc. When she eventually was kicked out, after living rent-free like a cockroach for almost a year, we discovered stolen property. Things have been going missing for months & we blamed outside thieves for it, but all this time she was the culprit. They're known for stealing. People don't trust them to work in their houses anymore. In Laudium & several other places, they actually brought in trucks to steal everything, while the employers/homeowners were away at work. They were desperately searching for one not too long ago, for cleaning out her employer's house in Laudium.

But I think Zimbabwe should be loaned with stringest conditions. Otherwise if that country implodes guess who's gonna bear the brunt of the humanitarian aid and mass migration. I don't think other big countries like Nigeria care much about Zimbabwe and its welfare.

Sorry southy Nigeria can't care much for them,cos,we're dealing with our own "mugabe"
If we don't deal with it now it's will surely cause serious problems even worst than that of Zimbabwe,we have one old senile lifeless man who's not incharge of running Nigeria presently.
Moreover,if I'm good with my history,this was the same way we supported and stood behind south africa during the tribulations,but what did we get in return pure hate and xenophobic attacks,so it a regional thingy,you guys can deal with them,if by proximity,they are your problem not Nigeria's

Hmm,that's like generalizing,you mean to tell me all Nigerians in southy are bad,yeah there are some bad eggs just as they are everywhere,it's not peculiar to Nigeria,
Bro,is not as if am in support of criminality,but we need to keep open mind and trust ourselves in Africa if we are to grow as other continents
Africa lacks good leaders,though some are luckier than others,but in the real context will really need to love ourselves before others can love us #mythinkingthough
I believed no nation is perfect,we all have our flaws and if we stand by each other,we'll surely grow,i.e. European union bailing out countries that are bankrupt,that is given support and you can't find that in AFRICA
We're so susceptible of each other,and bring down syndrome,we compete for the most irrelevant things and lack of respect for life,kill and maim at smallest provocation,
We really need to change our orientation and reason deeply for the generation unborn.

It is hard to find an innocent soul in Berea as almost everyone is involved in drug business. The talk among Nigerians is that anyone living in Berea must be into drug business. One of the hustlers simply called Daniel explained life on the edge in Berea.

“You know, there is no job in this country and the only people who make it are those who can hustle. Although it is dangerous, if you can survive it, you will be happy,” he said.

I do understand the southy plight,yeah I really do,but our elders says,you don't throw away the baby with the bath water.
I believed there are Nigerians living in southy with legitimate work and who are hard working,but if I remembered rightly some students were also killed in the last xenophobic attacks,
Just as there Chinese settlement in USA i.e. Chinatown with lots of criminality too,but the cops are up to the billings,i also know if the police in those areas in southy are not complacent,these criminals would've been arrested and tried according to the law of the land,
Truth is criminals would do anything to thrive,they are everywhere,like the Russian syndicate,yakussai of japan and some south America gangsters,but it left to the necessary authority to checkmate this criminals.
Like the laws of saudi Arabia,it's well known if caught with hard drugs,it death penalty,so you know that once you want to hustle,you'd stay away from saudi and some asian countries.
So i believe the law should take it course and not the people taking laws into their hands

Yeah, the rogue cops are making things worse. That's why communities turn against the police force in places like Hillbrow and Yeoville, and then take the law into their own hands. There's inaction on the part of the police in these communities coz they are in the pockets of drug lords.
