The Southern African Development Community has been slammed by activists, trade unionists and other human rights organisations for ignoring the global demands to have the ban on humanitarian food aid in Zimbabwe lifted.
Zimbabwean Welfare Minister Nicholas Goche banned field work by NGOs during the campaign for the June 27 run off election and accused the organisations of providing campaign support for the MDC during the first round of elections in March – which the MDC won. The ban has remained in place since then and has left millions of desperate Zimbabweans, heavily reliant on food aid to survive, facing starvation.
