ZIMBABWEAN ELECTIONS NOT FREE & FAIR!!

Election ‘seriously compromised’: ZESN

WEDNESDAY’S election was "seriously compromised" with up to a million people prevented from voting, local observer group, the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN), has said. Most of those turned away were in urban areas, where support for Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is strong, said the group, which had 7,000 observers. It noted that fewer voters were rejected in rural areas, seen as strongholds of President Robert Mugabe.

Mugabe's allies are already claiming a victory in Wednesday's poll. "We've buried the MDC," a senior party source told Reuters news agency.
It is illegal to publish unofficial results. The electoral commission has five days to declare who won the poll. Regional observers have praised the peaceful nature of the election. In a statement on Thursday, the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) said that potential voters were turned away from 82% of urban polling stations.
In rural areas, it said, the percentage was less than half that. "The election is seriously compromised," ZESN chairman Solomon Zwana said. Mugabe, 89, has pledged to step down after 33 years in power if he and his party lose. Zanu PF and the MDC have shared an uneasy coalition government since 2009 under a deal brokered to end the deadly violence that erupted after a disputed presidential poll the previous year. The first round of the 2008 poll was also praised for being peaceful - trouble broke out after the results were announced, with Tsvangirai gaining more votes than Mugabe.

THE PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE THANKS DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE (DA) & BOTSWANA!

The people of Zimbabwe thanks DA & Botswana for standing up for the Zimbabwean people, when even despair had seized to exist. What could we have done if we were left with the criminal and unsymphathetic ZUMA & AU. You were able to lead Africa in a Democratic direction when others were prepared to sacrifice, the rights and future of my people on the alters of pompeous self regard. The people of Zimbabwe see no friend in ANC as they are potentially evil. It pains my heart, that Mandela fought so hard for democracy, yet others in his party do not see its significance! It is in the interest of the South African public to vote wisely in your next elections. Look at us, we are still fighting the same dictator 33 years on! DA, BOTSWANA you are friends, you gave democratic hope to the people of Zimbabwe when no one else in African cared. Thank you!

NEW LEADER FOR ZIMBABWE

There isn’t anything the matter with EU and USA except that Mugabe is viewing it through a vision impaired by self-preservation. Poise has been disturbed and nerves have been racked, and fever has rendered men irrational; sometimes there have been draughts upon the dangerous cup of barbarity and men have wandered far from safe paths. In the New Zimbabwe, we will feel the reflex, rather than the hurting wound, but we will still think straight, and we mean to act straight, and mean to hold firmly to all that was ours when madness involved us, and seek the higher attainments which are the only compensations that so supreme a tragedy may give mankind. Zimbabwe’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality. It is one thing

CIO DENFORD MASIYA PROTECTING HIS DICTATORIAL MASTER!!!

Image
At number 172 is Deputy Intelligence Officer Farai Machekanyanga. Last year a ZANU PF official known as Chikanya, from Cherutombo suburb in Marondera, stunned the community after she began confessing how she and a gang, which included Machekanyanga, assassinated suspected MDC-T supporters and dumped their dead bodies in shallow graves and dams. Mugabe's CIO's from the Close Protection Unit (CPU) protect him from protestors. Chikanya, dressed in ZANU PF regalia, had gone to her party offices and told them she wanted to confess her crimes because she was experiencing hardships. But party officials paid no attention and she went straight to the town bus terminus. Once there she gathered a crowd and narrated names of her accomplices, including Machekanyanga, and how they killed MDC-T activists in the run up to the June 2008 election. ZANU PF officials dispatched a truck to pick her up but she refused to be driven away. According to her testimony Machekanyanga also took part i
