It's popcorn time !

Afriforum seized a Cape Town property belonging to the Zimbabwean state, saying the move is the start of a "civil sanctions" campaign against President Robert Mugabe's government.

"This is a process aimed at helping all the people of Zimbabwe in a way that creates hope and shows that it is possible for civil society to institute civil sanctions against a regime that does not help its people," Willie Spies, a lawyer for Afriforum said outside of the offices of the Sheriff for the district of Cape Town.

The process started in November 2008 when the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Tribunal ruled in favour of Michael Campbell and 78 Zimbabwean farmers that the land reform program in the country was "racist and unlawful".

Mugabe described the ruling as "nonsense and of no consequence" to Zimbabwe.

The tribunal followed up its ruling with a contempt ruling and costs order in June 2009. On 26 February, the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria registered the tribunal's rulings.

Four Zimbabwean properties in the Cape Town suburbs of Zonneblom, Kenilworth and Wynberg were initially identified.

Afriforum agreed to only attach the Kenilworth property, located in Salisbury Road, at this stage as its value -- estimated at around R2.5 million - was sufficient to cover the cost of the order.

Zimbabwean Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa dismissed the High Court's move as "null and void", calling the attempts to attach assets nothing more than "political grandstanding" and the properties were under diplomatic immunity.

FYI Zim uses the British education system (not sure if they still do)
 
Diplomatic immunity, as upheld by our government, currently controlled by the ANC.

This will in effect result in Civil action against ourselves (our government) to get the diplomatic immunity lifted.

What an pile of very stinky carp.
 
Commercial property does not receive diplomatic immunity - Afriforum is being very careful about the assets they are attaching.
 
Zimbabwe actually has (had) an excellent school system - British as mentioned - and sport much higher literacy & pass rates than South Africa.

They are just victims of a tyrannical system.
