Sanctions.....

Whether sanctions work is a moot point. However it is strange to note that South Africa voted with Russia and China against sanctions against Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe's big boy's toy.

It was noticeable that Nelson Mandela and Tutu's representations against Mugabe's regime's recent actions were quite weak, in fact Mandela didn't say anything until it helped sell his concert.

Russia and China have possible economical interests in Zimbabwe but South Africa what is their interest?
