I know as a Zimbabwean who now stays in America and was a civil servant and a cousin to Mashonaland West Governor for this Zanu PF party that this is true there is election rigging this started as late as 2000 and has been going on forever they don't want the people voices to be heard and thats sad.

elections in africa, do they know what elections are

Mugabe is too old to continue ruining Zimbabwe. It is the hunger for power that makes people like him want to do anything to stay there. Hasnt he had enough wealth. Hasnt he tortured enough people. Look at Zimbabwe now? A few years ago there was not need to move out of that country. He has brought the country down and I am surprised there are people out there who still support him. Pity. God have mercy on your people. The only thing to do now as Zimbabweans is to pray that God takes away this dictator.

I am not a Zimbabwen, but I have followed this election closely. Please let baba Mugabe go and retire honorably.He is 84years old for goodness sake! There is a better life other than politics .We know you are a legend, We know you have sacrificed a lot for your people, baba , it is time to go. Spend the remaining part of your life to worship your God ,enjoy your children and grandchildren , get to know them.Go on a cruise with them, visit some contries as a hero, give lectures in some Universities,have a good 8hours sleep without being interupted for a meeting.Wishing you a happy retirement in advance.

you know...this is exactly the kind of speculative bs reporting that reminds me why i never read the news or listen to some of the "unbiased" reporting that goes on around the world...the content is fine but why do you journalists insist on putting a "glamourous" edge to everything...if there was going to be violence in zimbabwe over mugabe and his sidekicks it would have already happened...zimbabweans are a peace loving people and when the green bombers were raising chaos in 2000-2003 there was no resistance...why?? Because the memories of the civil war in zimbabwe are still fresh...NOBODY in zimbabwe is looking for a violent change of system...zimbabwe is not Kenya...not Uganda...or remotely similar to any of the central or east african countries that have a history made up of coups, counter coups and skullduggerous bloody changeovers....of course your frightened little truck driver made it through...if he was even frightened at all...stick to the facts

Its high time Bob should step down.Mugabe must rest he is now very old and he doesn't have any new ideas.THE OLD MAN MUST GO!!!!!!!!

It infuriates me to no end to read... "thousands of Zimbabweans make their way into South Africa by foot, searching for jobs, food, and perhaps some money to send home", WE ARE NOT THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY! ... while i as a SA citizen can't just "walk" over to a 1st world country like the US, as a matter of fact i can't even get a visitors visa. The illegal aliens from foreign african countries are a huge contributing factor to the crime in SA. I hope Zimbabwe get's on their feet again, so that their citizen can return to their homes!
