Time 2 Act -- an appeal from Zimbabweans to South African leaders (Part 1 of three)

'Time 2 Act' is a film of a visit to Zimbabwe by a CIVICUS team in the Christmas period of 2008. The mission aimed to express solidarity with civil society in Zimbabwe and to authenticate reports of breakdown of the rule of law and governance structure. A key observation during the trip was the disillusionment with the mediation efforts of the South African government and the South African Development Community.
This is Part 1 of three parts of the film on Youtube

Cry a beloved country.......Zimbabwe was once the bread basket of Africa. The country had over 90% literacy and the most educated people in the whole of Africa. An intriguing video, for the mere fact that with no freedom of speech and repressive media laws in the country, this reporter managed to openly interview the young lad who has gone through so much in his young life. All this while the dictator "president" Robert Mugabe has just been exposed as having a £4million house in the far East.

Thank you for this video. I have tried to follow Zimbabwe since the summer, but this video speaks more than words.

This is an extraordinary film from inside Zimbabwe that reveals how things are much worse than we imagine. This appeal by Zimbabweans for help must be listened to by leaders in South Africa, Africa and the whole world
