Election fever beginning
Today on my way into town I saw my first polling station – a large green tent that has been erected close to a local shopping centre. Wow! I had feelings of excitement and fear all at the same time. Excitement, because the day that the people will speak is near. Fear, because all Zimbabweans know that the threat of violence is always close by. As I sat waiting for the street light to change, a dark green bus (army I expect) pulled up alongside me. It was absolutely crammed with people, from what I could see, most were women. A few were wearing zanu scarves on their heads. Some were singing. I wonder where they were being transported to? There is electricity in the air. Election fever is upon us!
