SADC Determined To Support Zimbabwe For Free And Fair Elections

Southern African Development Community (SADC) election observer mission (SEOM) head to Zimbabwe, Nevers Sekwila Mumba, said there is a need for Zimbabwe to hold free, fair, and credible elections.

Addressing journalists at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport following his arrival on Wednesday, Mumba said it was imperative that Zimbabwe holds credible elections. He said:

If you don’t have a free and fair election you are going to be subjected to insecurity for quite a while.

We come with a very clear mandate from the SADC region; the mandate is to ensure that we stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters here in Zimbabwe, to elect a president of their choice.
Our determination is to support every effort that is going to give us a free and fair election.

Mumba added that SEOM will only observe the elections but the onus is with Zimbabweans to choose their preferred leaders. He said:

My team and I are dedicating ourselves to ensuring that we are part of the process to give Zimbabweans an opportunity to make a choice of their own.
They make a choice, we are just the eyes and we encourage peace.

When the people of Zimbabwe gain their freedom, they must pull out of SADC and AU until those bodies live up to their mandate. For now we have enough of our own partisan organisations without those two.

Zim has become a fighting ground for super powers ie USA and Europe vs China and Russia all because of its vast essential minerals like lithium, platinum, uranium. We have become ponies of this cold war. Our current leaders are benefiting from corrupt deals with their Eastern protectors while povo is grieving and wallowing in poverty

Not really. The country wants to give attention to itself by making it appear as if the strongest countries in the world are fighting for it. The strongest countries are well above the issue of fighting for attention like boys fighting for a girl who is in the habit of attracting any boy or man. The strongest countries will all get what they want, as is happening, without fighting each other.

another unfair election is another mistake. lt will cause unrest, distabilise this country and the region. It will scattle chaches of re engagement. Zim can't afford another disputed election

It is true if SADC is sure to its words, they have to reverse everything and start afresh. 1. How can ballot papers be printed without other players in the election? 2. Why should ballot papers be distributed at the back of other players in the election? 3. Why should postal vote be done in front of police bosses.? 4. With less than a week to go to an election, other players are yelling for an important document of the election - voters roll 5. With less than a week to go to an election, other players are yelling for polling station list to be used. 6. Why ZANU is quiet of all these, because they have everything in their hands. So SADC must reverse everything and start afresh.

But rigging has already started, police voting guarded by their bosses, unsupervised postal vote, no voters roll,ballot papers secretly printed and the quantities not disclosed as per law, distribution done secretly, so how can there be free and fair elections pakadero. SADC need to take action and reverse all this.

This dog "SADC" looked the other way when Mugabe was removed by a coup so cannot be trusted.
