South Africa Strengthens Ties to Zimbabwe 
During a ceremony in the middle of November this year both countries signed an agreement in order to increase the collaboration in defence and intelligence between the two countries. During the ceremony, South Africa's Minister of Intelligence Ronnie Kasrils, praised what he called ”the advances and successes” made by Zimbabwe since blacks took over power from whites in the early 1980's. Kasrils said that both countries shared ”a common world view” and that they would ”march forward shoulder to shoulder”. He added that South Africa was enjoying multicultural democracy thanks to ”the heroic people of Zimbabwe”. Ronnie Kasrils, who is of Jewish extraction, is the former secretary general of the South African Communist Party (SACP). He is also a former member of the African National Congress' (ANC) military fraction. Contrary to Kasrils, the majority of the governments of the West are of the opinion that Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe is running his country towards an economical and social collapse. Zimbabwe, a country that before the takeover of power by blacks, was one of Africa's furthest developed countries, is now suffering from mass unemployment and an enormous shortage of staples. Starvation of catastrophic proportions is threatening millions of the country's inhabitants. A situation mainly due to the fact that more than 5000 white commercial farmers have had their farms seized since the year 2000. Zimbabwe's Minister of National Security, Dydimus Matasa, argued during the meeting that the biggest threat against southern Africa comes from outside ”influences whose aim is to effect regime change especially with regard to countries led by former liberation movements”. The regime of Zimbabwe is continually accusing for example Great Britain and the USA of conspiring against Zimbabwe.
