Morgan Tsvangirai to hold press conference at 4pm today
We have just received this with a request to do all we can to circulate information because it is such short notice. But at such short notice (!) there isn’t much we can do beyond blog it.
Can you help alert journalists based in South Africa to this information?:
President Morgan Tsvangirai will hold a press conference today 28 April 2008 at 4 p.m. to make a historic announcement.
The press conference will be held at Johannesburg’s Lanseria Airport, Allegiance Airways Lounge, when he returns today from a brief trip to East Africa. This lounge is located at Main Terminal Building upstairs.

Sent to Celia Dugger. She and her husband are based in South Africa and I hope she’s already at the press conference.

Get out your calculator and check the percentages. In fact, the MDC’s voting figures show Tsvangirai with 49.1 per cent, Mugabe with 43.8 per cent and Makoni winning 7.1 per cent.
So on the MDC’s own figures, a second round is needed.

Mushandikwa - You fail to understand the level of illegitimacy under which the Mugabe regime has operated all along. Make hay while you still can, the whole criminal kleptocracy that is Mugabe, a name that will be linked through the ages with corruption and abuse of power, will soon be history.
