South Africa backpedals already
Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma keeps missing opportunities to shut up and wants to join the “notMensa” club of distinguished ministers that compose the south African government:
"Now tell me, if you are a business person and you hear your country has sanctioned the president of that country [Robert Mugabe] are you going to go running there with your investments? You are not," she said.
Which, of course, is the whole point of imposing sanctions. Or she thinks that rigging elections should be only frowned upon? (She could be thinking of the future…).
Dlamini-Zuma said although the sanctions - imposed by the United States and the EU after intimidation and violence in Zimbabwe's general election in March - targeted individuals, they had a general effect on the country.
If they keep this rhetoric up, South Africa could be the next in line.
