The opposition Zimbabwe Development Party President Kisinoti Mukwazhe has challenged President Robert Mugabe to surrender the leadership of regional and continental bodies if he does not “firmly” deal with South Africa over Xenophobia.
Hundreds of foreign nationals have been killed to date while thousands displaced by the barbaric xenophobic attacks taking place in South Africa.
The South African government has been blasted for not taking adequate action against their nationals involved in the brutal attacks.
President Robert as the chairperson of the Southern African Development Community and the African Union, Mukwazhe on Monday said should decisively deal with South Africa.
“He must either surrender the chairmanship of SADC and AU and give the responsibility to those who are capable of delivering, ” said Mukwazhe.
“It is better for us to know that AU and SADC are led by a clique of leaders who are there to spend resources for nothing as opposed to tackling issues affecting the region and  the continent, if they fail to challenge the South African government over these attacks”.
President Robert Mugabe last week at his country’s 35th anniversary celebrations said as SADC and AU they were going to tell the South African government to stop xenophobia.
But Mukwazhe said President Robert Mugabe should not just speak, but take action.
“He should use his power as the leader of the continent by deploying soldiers in South Africa because the SA government has failed to control the situation”, he added.
“South Africa should be suspended from SADC and the United Nations should slap it with sanctions for these atrocities”.
