Nelson Mandela has finally criticised the Mugabe regime. Speaking in London he described it as 'a tragic failure of leadership'.
While we are on the subject of failure of leadership it should be remembered that only now has Mandela spoken. The silence from him, Tutu and Mbeki has been deafening. While newspapers fawned and world leaders queued up to have their photos taken with him, Mandela, the most influential man in Africa, watched the disaster of Zimbabwe unfold without comment.
For many, it is too late.
