Here is a Letter from the Democratic Alliance which opposes the South African government providing a loan to Zimbabwe, which would amount to a free gift to dictator Robert Mugabe while the money can be better used in South Africa to help the poor and unemployed with housing, health (including HIV-retroviral drugs), education and job training.

By clicking below you can download a chain letter to provide you and other ordinary taxpayers like you with a voice to stop the loan.

Please forward this letter to everyone you know.

You can also SMS "STOP" and your comments to 34568 *

The Democratic Alliance will publish the SMS messages on our website and then compile them and send them to the President. Make your voice heard and let President Mbeki know what you think!

The download is a standard letter which you can sign and send on to President Mbeki's office. Please copy the text of the letter into a new email before sending it on to the Presidency.
