Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Luce (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 24 May 2007.


Zimbabwe: UN Commission on Sustainable Development

Question
My Lords, does the Minister agree that Mugabe has betrayed his own country and blamed all his problems on colonialism, which is long past? African leaders would best serve their own people on the continent by turning and following the inspired leadership of Mandela who, when President of the Republic of South Africa, always put the interests of his country first.
Answer

Absolutely, my Lords. If we had that kind of ethical standard, these problems would not arise in the way in which we have described them.
