Helping Zimbabwe in SA’s interest

South Africa’s director for international relations Jerry Matjila today said Pretoria might assist Zimbabwe to conduct its referendum ahead of the country’s elections because a stable Zimbabwe was in South Africa’s interests. “They are one of the tourists major export destinations. Every year we see the volume of goods and services increasing towards Zimbabwe. So it is in our whole interest to see a stable Zimbabwe. As you can see in 2008, we exported over R7 billion. In 2009, R11 billion, last year we almost exported something like $20 billion of goods and services to Zimbabwe.”
