Billy Rautenbach is known to have close links to ZANU-PF & the regime of Robert Mugabe. He is currently on a travel ban list in both the EU and US. Added to the EU blacklist in Jan 2008, and the US blacklist end of 2008. He has aided Robert Mugabes regime financially, regardless of current international sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe to limit Robert Mugabes grip of power. A noticeable proportion of the funds available to Robert Mugabe were used to pay his security forces help keep him in power.
And as for the whole land issue, it is not certain that poor exports were a direct result of land reforms. Yes, that is a theory, although there is little evidence which puts this theory ahead of the ZANU-PF viewpoint.
Economic sanctions, such as ZDERA in 2001, were in no way helpful. The Western media has tried to disguise this entire theory, by pretending ZANU-PF supporters hardly existed. If they knew that sanctions didn't harm the economy, they would relieve them and let Zimbabweans judge.
You raise the issues of the Gukurahundi "attrocities". Yes, these were tragic events, but they should NOT be taken out of context. The so-called "uprisings" were in fact violence by ex-ZAPU militants, most of whom refused to be ruled by Mugabe on tribalist grounds. What happened in 1987 was not authorized by Mugabe. He must bear some responsibility for his somewhat rash reactions which led to it, but these were only in response to the hundreds of civilians being killed.
You are free to have your opinion, I suppose. Personally none of this will change my opinion. I am actually a white Brit and yet I support Mugabe, apart from his opinions on homosexuality.
That aside, I support his land reforms wholeheartedly. It was Britain's responsibility to pay for the land reforms (under the willing buyer, willing seller policy agreed in 1979 at Lancaster House). As they didn't, who should bear the brunt? The Zimbabwean people or the minority who enslaved them?
