It's not just the Chinese, Russians and South Africans who're supporting him. Practically every western nation is along with all the rest. There was an interesting article on Sky News about it a week or so ago and a rep from Tesco was on there talking about how if they stopped importing fresh produce from Zimbabwe the farmers and their families would suffer etc.

Same story you'll get from just about anyone who does business with a corrupt government anywhere. 'it's the little people who will suffer if we stop doing business with them'. Never mind that they're probaby paying the so called little people a fraction of what they pay the corrupt government for allowing them to pillage the countryside.
