The rigging of the Zimbabwean Elections (2000 to 2007)
Preamble:
I think the fact that the Zim Elections were being systematically rigged from the year 2000 to date is one that has either to be accepted or contested.
It can never the duty of a single individual to relate how the Elections were (and are) rigged in Zimbabwe .
Then there are also the following questions:
What difference does it make if we get thousands of witnesses giving their testimonies?
Will Mr Robert Mugabe then resign?
Will it change the manner in which Mr Thabo Mbeki handles the Zim crisis?
Why are Elections Rigged?
- Elections are rigged because it is believed that if they are done in a completely "free and fair" manner, a certain "undesirable' resilt will arise.
- They are also rigged because the "undesirable" contestants command a clearly greater support than the Establishment are "comfortable" with.
- Elections are therefore rigged because the Establishment is under certain pressures. They have to hold Elections to gain credibility but on the other hand they would be "out of power" if they did not engage in various nefarious activities to suppress the true will of the people!
