‘I hope King Charles is not hoodwinked’: Commonwealth faces key decision on Zimbabwe as China boosts presence
Since 2003, Zimbabwe has looked to China and Russia for assistance and alliance after falling out with Western countries following the regime of Robert Mugabe, who lost power in 2017 and died in 2019. “Zimbabwe has made impressive progress in its journey to rejoin the Commonwealth family. This is encouraging and we hope that further progress will be made,” said Professor Franschesci after a six-day visit to thet southern African country.
For locals, getting back into the international group would have clear benefits. “I want Zimbabwe to gain the advantages of being in the Commonwealth. I think rejoining will help our economy in the long run,” said Tatenda Moyo, a 27-year-old unemployed engineering graduate. “The same problems that led to Zimbabwe’s suspension are still with us. The election results are still being disputed. If Zimbabwe is sincere it must invite the Commonwealth and the United Nations to observe 2023 elections,” he said. “I hope King Charles III and the Commonwealth are monitoring the Zimbabwe situation closely and will not be hoodwinked by the Zimbabwe government.”
