Rueters tells us that Peter Tatchell the human rights activist is demanding of Mandela to speak out against Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe.
Nelson Mandela should publicly urge Robert Mugabe to stand down. He has a duty to support the Zimbabwean people’s democratic will, and denounce the election fraud of the ZANU-PF dictatorship.
Nelson is the hero of the anti-apartheid movement, but his silence on Zimbabwe’s unfree and unfair elections is collusion with tyranny. He is betraying his fellow Africans in Zimbabwe.
I tend to agree with Mr Tatchell - Mandela - whether he likes it or not is a symbol for a tireless fight for human rights and as such he should never stop being a beacon for such battles.
