Mock elections to be held in London, March 29th
Zimbabwean exiles are to stage mock elections outside the Zimbabwe Embassy in London from 6am to 6pm on election day, Saturday 29th March.
With the elections in Zimbabwe little more than a week away it is already clear that the results will be rigged. Members of the military have been filling in multiple postal votes and the voters’ roll is in a shambles. The opposition has been denied access to the mass media and no election monitors are being admitted from the West, which has been feeding millions of people left starving by Mugabe’s murderous rule.
There will be two media events - at 11.00 am and 15.00 pm - which will demonstrate how the elections are being stolen. They will feature the human rights activist Patson Muzuwa, who has appeared on the West End stage, and Fungayi Mubhunu, wearing the Mugabe mask he wore at a demonstration in Lisbon against the attendance of Mugabe at the AU/EU summit last December.
The mock elections are organised by the Zimbabwe Vigil, which has been demonstrating outside the Embassy every Saturday in support of free and fair elections since October 2002.
For further information contact Vigil Co-ordinators Rose Benton (07970 996 003) and Dumi Tutani (07960 039 775).
In addition to this:
Zimbabweans in Edmonton, Canada will be conducting their mock vote on
Saturday, March 29 at NorQuest College,
10215 – 108 St, 7th floor Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada.
The votes will then be mailed to the Zimbabwean Embassy in Ottawa. (via SWRadio)

From South Africa, I wish you the best. It has been horrible hearing about what goes on in Zim. I hope it comes right in whatever way possible.
Old Bob was way past his ‘best before’ date ages ago, if he ever was best at all. I think if he wins someone must ‘take him out’, and quick.
God bless Africa.

Mock elections? Big deal, what will that prove??? What will the real results prove?? Absolutely nothing.
The election results are totally irrelevant, if mugabe wins then.. so what, if someone else wins ..so what, it will just be a different pig at the same ruined trough. Elections are just a white mans idea of correctness and have no place in a free africa.
Democracy is the inevitable and persistent sick joke of Africa, the communists have taken over already, they do not and will not permit democracy.
Democracy just does not gel with the black african psyche so socialist/marxism/communism wins while the people continue to bleat “Amandla” like ignorant sheep.
