A Chinese ship with a vast cargo of small arms has docked in Durban, South Africa for transportation to Robert Mugabes regime. The South African government has claimed it is powerless to intervene as long as the ships papers are in order, pointing out that there is no UN trade embargo against Zimbabwe. 
</DIV> 
<BR /><DIV> The 77 tones of small arms including some 3m rounds seems to have been ordered by the ministry of defense in Harare from Beijing three days after the Zimbabwe election. Just enough time to realise the election had been lost and come up with what looks like a bloody back-up plan to hold onto power?
</DIV> 
<BR /> Thankfully the SA Transport and Allied Workers Union have decided to act and refused to unload the ship or move the cargo by road. Lets hope they are successful in stopping this consignment reaching its destination.
