Zimbabwe Elections: Mmusi Maimane Challenges Ramaphosa and the ANC to Act

Former Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane has issued a compelling challenge to President Cyril Ramaphosa and the African National Congress (ANC) in response to the outcome of the recently concluded Zimbabwean elections. The call for a strong and principled stance on the Zimbabwean elections reflects growing concerns over their impact on South Africa, particularly regarding the influx of undocumented immigrants, strained public services, and democratic values.

The challenge comes at a time when South Africa is grappling with significant challenges posed by the movement of undocumented immigrants from Zimbabwe. Maimane indicates that, the Minister of Home Affairs has highlighted these concerns, underlining the need for comprehensive solutions to manage the influx effectively. Additionally, the Department of Health has apparently raised valid concerns about the strain on the healthcare system, particularly the financial burden imposed by providing healthcare.

Maimane further claims that, statistics from Stats South Africa reveal a staggering number—four million foreign nationals living in the country, with a substantial 40% (1.6 million) apparently originating from Zimbabwe.

According to Maimane, the underlying issue that exacerbates these challenges is the contentious nature of Zimbabwean elections. Dating back to 2002, 2008, 2018, and the most recent 2023 elections, there have been consistent concerns raised about the fairness and transparency of the electoral process.

Maimane’s challenge emphasizes the significance of South Africa’s role as a regional leader. He calls upon President Ramaphosa and the ANC to align with the SADC observer mission’s findings and take a vocal stance for change. This call is grounded in the understanding that the root cause of many of South Africa’s challenges related to Zimbabwe is the flawed democratic process. By voicing concerns and demanding a new election, Maimane asserts that the South African government can play a crucial role in supporting the people of Zimbabwe and upholding democratic values in the region.

However, in responding to Maimane’s challenge, President Ramaphosa faces the pivotal decision of whether to prioritize the principle of sovereignty or stand in solidarity with Zimbabwe’s people in their quest for a more democratic future. This stance would also demonstrate a commitment to consistency in foreign policy, as South Africa has shown support for other regions, such as the Sahawari region.

As the dust settles after the announcement of Zimbabwean election results, the call for strong leadership from South Africa resounds. The challenge issued by Mmusi Maimane presents an opportunity for the ANC-led government to rise to the occasion, uphold democratic ideals, and address the interconnected challenges that Zimbabwe’s political situation has imposed on its neighboring nation.

Zimbabwe is a South African problem.

I challenge @CyrilRamaphosa and the @MYANC to take a strong and principled position on the #ZimbabweElections.

The minister of Home Affairs has outlined the challenges South Africa is facing with the an influx of undocumented immigrants…
