At the summit, Ndlovu called ChancellorAngela Merkel a "Nazi remnant". Responding to Merkel's criticism of human rights abuses in Zimbabwe, Ndlovu told her to "shut up or ship out," saying Germany needed a head of state like Otto von Bismarck.[2] By the time of the summit he was already placed on United States sanctions and European Union sanctions lists.[3][4]
