A suprise visitor for Selina
My pinky is cerise pink, I voted at 7.35am. The
police officer at our polling station was smiling and helpful. I was pleased to see the election officers jumping around and phoning other stations to try and find out if people whose names weren’t on the voters’ roll for that constituency, were perhaps registered in another constituency. I see these government workers itching to do the right thing. I just hope the situation remains calm in the rural areas, although I fear the rigging is at full swing there.
Selina phoned me this morning from the bottle store in her village. She said that many of the MDC polling agents had been sent back to town, she didn’t know why. She also said that there has been some intimidation from war vets. She is going to try and come home today if she can get transport and I will update you with her stories.
She’s in for such a surprise, because we’ve got a visitor! Selina’s son arrived at the house an hour ago. She doesn’t even know he’s in the country. He left for South Africa two years ago to help his family keep body and soul together. He came back yesterday, ESPECIALLY TO VOTE!!!
I am so proud of him. He hates Johannesburg, living in a gangster ridden neighbourhood and he wants to stay at home. I hope he will be able to, we need committed young guys to be here at home to rebuild our poor country.
