I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Zimbabwean women call on "sisters in arms"
|
Harare – Representatives of Zimbabwean women who have suffered rape, torture and victimisation under President Robert Mugabe’s regime have called on South African women to help lobby President Thabo Mbeki’s government to end its support for the Mugabe regime. The Zimbabwean women, represented by the Women of Zimbabwe Arise (Woza) lobby group, joined South African women in celebrating Women’s Day this week. They performed an emotional play at Johannesburg’s main Methodist church complex, depicting how Zimbabwean women have suffered under Mugabe’s regime. At the gathering, Walter Sisulu’s daughter-in-law, Elinor, author of a biography on Walter and Albertina Sisulu, chronicled the suffering of the Zimbabwean women and spoke at length about how South African women could help their Zimbabwean counterparts. She also told of the suffering of women in other parts of Africa, including the Sudan, Swaziland and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Woza representatives have been arrested several times. In their play they described the harsh treatment their leaders had received in jail, incarcerated in tiny cells without flushing toilets. In winter they had to sleep close to each other to keep warm after being stripped naked. Last month the police stormed the Woza head office in Harare, claiming to be searching for weapons of war, subversive materials and inflammatory pamphlets meant to “incite the overthrow” of Mugabe’s government. Woza spokeswoman Jenni Williams said the police had not found anything, yet had “proceeded to burn copies of the newsletter and later arrested 73 women” She has been jailed 13 times. Williams said the Zimbabwean women had come to South Africa as part of their mission to build a community of sisterhood in African countries that could apply pressure for change in Zimbabwe. Williams said Mugabe’s late mother would most probably not have approved of the crimes being committed by Mugabe’s militia against women in Zimbabwe. She said Mugabe knew well the power of women in mobilising against his misrule, if they chose to do so. Masechaba Mabaso, the founder of South Africa’s Inter-denominational Women’s Prayer League, lamented the much publicised extravagance of Mugabe’s wife, Grace, while the rest of Zimbabwe’s women suffered. – Independent Foreign Service This article was originally published on page 8 of The Mercury on August 11, 2004 Source: Independent Online (IOL) |
