South African television series on investigative journalism, Carte Blanche, recently did an indepth news story on medical xenophobia against Zimbabweans and other foreigners which has led to untold suffering, particularly to pregnant women seeking help to give birth.
Medical xenophobia is any practice, judgment or behaviour which creates and sustains prejudicial relations or conditions that systematically marginalise, exclude and/or isolate immigrants from receiving healthcare they are legally entitled to in terms of the constitution and law.
Claire Mawisa, a presenter on Carte Blanche, South Africa's leading news and current affairs show, broadcast on Mnet on the DSTV bouquet, tells the story.

The chief investment & projects officer for President Emmerson Mnangagwa's envoy and ambassador-at-large Uebert Angel, Dr Sobona Mtisi, has tied himself in knots in a long-winded, incoherent and deceptive response to Al Jazeera's investigation on gold smuggling and corruption.
Failing to take advantage of his right to remain silent when he has been caught pants down with his boss and others in a corruption sting operation by undercover journalists, Mtisi tried to deny the res ipsa loquitor investigation (a situation where facts speak for themselves).
Mtisi, who is who married to Angel's niece Joy, appears on the film with Al Jazeera's undercover journalists posing as Hong Kong-based Chinese mafia discussing how to corruptly smuggle and clean US$1.2 billion for payment.
Angel says he can do it using his diplomatic passport.

As the industrial scale looting of gold sinks in, it is now clear that Zimbabwe is a kleptocracy; a system based on grand corruption coupled with, in the words of American academic Andrew Wedeman, impunity for those authorised to loot by the "Thief-in-Chief" – the Head of State.
In a kleptocracy, criminal activity on behalf of government officials is either ignored, allowing corrupt funds to flow out of the country, or ruled legal by a corrupted legal system – "legalised" illicit financial flows.
Such nations also provide ample opportunities for rent-seeking by awarding lucrative contracts to family members or friends of those in power, which is corrupt but may not be illegal under the laws of that country.

#NationalYouthDay
Despite leaving Zimbabwe in ruins due to leadership, policy and governance failures, as
well as mismanagement and corruption, and stealing the youths' future, the late former president Robert Mugabe is still celebrated - ironically by those who removed him!
Today Zimbabwe commemorates Robert Gabriel Mugabe National Youth Day, observed annually on 21 February, his birthday, to honour the late authoritarian ruler's birthday.
Official celebrations led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa will be in Lupane, Matabeleland North province.
There is also a shadowy 21st February Movement which began in 1986 named after his birthday.
Besides, the main airport in Harare and many roads across the country are named after Mugabe despite his legacy of political repression, violence, killings and dire economic destruction.

The late former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe’s son
Robert Tinotenda Mugabe Jnr's arrest and Harare magistrate's court appearance on allegations of malicious damage to property demonstrates the problem and cost of impunity which the Mugabe family kids grew up accustomed to.
Even the incident that led to his fit of range and vandalism of property worth US$12 000, shows Robert Jr was acting with impunity.
He destroyed the property after a heated argument with his friend Sindiso Nkatazo's gardener who had allegedly urinated on his car's wheel.
"Complainant (Nkatazo) and accused are friends. On 19 February 2023 at around 0030 hours, complainant and accused
proceeded to complainant’s house and slept there," a police memo on the incident that happened at Strathaven in Harare says.

This was the first time in modern history a US President President visited a war zone where there are no American forces on the ground, making the trip to Kyiv unprecedented.
Biden reiterated US support for Ukraine, announcing new military assistance and incoming Russian sanctions, while meeting with host President Volodymyr Zelensky as air raid sirens enveloped the capital city.
