I suspect the that the piece in zimsituation is a load of nonsense in that this is a government website (perhaps BM is a Zanu stoog?), and the email to zimsit is obviously a Zanupf ruse to stop people checking the roll. However, maybe what we need is someone to say who did the site and is it legit...i agree at the moment that people would be reluctnat to use it. It does seem to work though and give the ward you should be voting in!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('234866','Jim'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('234866','Jim','I checked the whois.com domain checker and see that zimvoter.com it is hosted by Bluehost and was created only on the 30th May (ie 6 days ago), not 2 weeks ago.

How can this carry on, people abused, starving, killed and so it goes on.This dictatorship must come to an end now, people cannot suffer like this.Let the people of Zimbabwe stand up for their rights now and let their voices be heard and save this country from total destruction.Don't let fear be an obstacle.Let the people feel what real democracy is, after all that is what they wanted since 1980.May racism not play a role in their lives, as we all are humans and entitled to a decent living and we need each other to survive. South Africa is no example as they have taken out their government's inadequate service delivery on the foreigners here. Fortunately a new president is on its way and hopefully will support the new Zimbabwe and live peacefully next to each other.My prayers are that all this suffering ends soon and that we can all prevent this to be repeated and that the other African countries will also realize where they went wrong and serve the people as they should.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('234809','exbulawayo'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('234809','exbulawayo','Please can someone get the UN to take action now, this situation is needing outside interference.

Right now, I am doing research on Zimbabwe. To be specific, I am doing research on its economics and people's lifestyles. I found out that one of the things Zimbabwe is suffering from hyperinflation and I am curious to find out how in the world people can ever manage to live in such country under terrible conditions. I've been searching and searching, but I haven't been able to find much resource on lifestyles in Zimbabwe, or what life in Zimbabwe is like from an actual Zimbabwean person. Just then, I came across your page. If you could, I'd love for you to tell me briefly what it's like, what their daily life is like since you seem to be really connected with Zimbabwe. I look forward to hearing from you.
