Arms Shipment to Zimbabwe Stopped by . . . Dock Hands?

I found this at The Firearm Blog.

The Dock Hands in South Africa are refusing to offload a shipment of 3 Million rounds of 7.62x39mm (AK ammunition) and RPGs headed for Zimbabwe, from China.

The South African government seems uninterested in even trying to stop the repression of the will of the people to be free from Mugabe's tyranny. So, finally, the good people have said "enough" and the dockers in SA are refusing to offload the shipment. Their union is behind them 100% apparently, and a hasty court challenge to the SA government's permission of the shipment is underway.

Let us hope that the shipment gets diverted to the USA, where I would be happy to lighten the load by a case or ten of cartridges.

Vive la Resistance!

    Unfortunately the ship headed to another African country with less scruples than South Africa.

    ... well, we could have guessed that would happen.

    At least, the Good People have done what they could, and God bless 'em for it!
