It's whites living better lives in SA, says Mugabe

Cape Town – Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe
has reportedly said that only white people are "living
better lives" in South Africa while black Africans are
"still very low".
According to The Herald, Mugabe, 91, said this
during a media briefing at the end of a one day
extraordinary Southern African Development
Committee (SADC) summit in Harare on Wednesday.
The nonagenarian was answering questions relating
to recent xenophobic attacks which killed at least
seven people in South Africa.
Mugabe urged SADC member states to come up with
mechanisms that would encourage citizens to take
up opportunities at home and stop flocking to South
Africa.

"They are people who voluntarily go to South
Africa..... They think South Africa is the heaven... Yes,
it's more highly developed. True. But go there and
you will see that the Africans in the country are still
very low. It's the whites who are living better lives.
More advanced," Mugabe was quoted as saying.
Mugabe, who is the current chair of SADC, made
reference to people living in Soweto, saying their
lives were "very elementary", adding that
immigrants made the "the situation of the Africans
more worse".
AFP reported on Thursday that the SADC meeting
was meant to discuss industrial growth, but
attention focused on recent xenophobic violence in
Johannesburg and Durban.
Thousands of immigrants in South Africa were
displaced by the unrest this month as local mobs
targeted workers from countries such as Zimbabwe,
Mozambique and Malawi.
Mugabe and President Jacob Zuma briefed delegates
on the attacks and measures taken to prevent them
from reoccurring.
