The South African National Ports Authority has confirmed that a Chinese Vessel has been cleared to dock at Durban, South Africa. The South African Police Explosive Unit confirmed that the ship’s name is An Yue Jiang and is carrying the following:
1. 3,000,000 Rounds of Ammunition for Small Arms.
2. 3,500 Mortar and Mortar Launchers
3. 1,500 Rockets for Rocket Propelled Grenades
The order was finalised on the 1st of April 2008 after the Presidential Elections in Zimbabwe. The arms were going to be transported by land from Durban to Harare.
Zimbabwemetro.com also reported the «presence» of Chinese Soldiers in Mutare. I also saw one comment by a contributor in this article who threatened retaliation against the Chinese Community in Zimbabwe for the support of the Chinese of Mugabe. This is not boding well. Another contributor warns of impending genocide in Zimbabwe being orchestrated by Mugabe.
I had to write this because my conscience dictated it to me. After checking this story and the story that South African Officials also informed the BBC, I decided to publish it in Now Public.com. My conscience dictated that I could not sit back and watch the possibility of another Rwanda or Cambodia repeat itself. I hope I am wrong but at least my conscience is clear.
It should also be said that South Africa has a law in which it cannot interfere in trade deals between two nations [Zimbabwe and China].
