ANC team arrives to observe Zimbabwe polls

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

ANC team arrives to observe Zimbabwe polls

[What’s the bet that they have already prepared their reports stating how free and fair it will be? Surely they must know beforehand because President Mbeki has tremendous knowledge and foresight, and can see into the future. President Mbeki has already told us it will be free and fair… despite all the news reports to the contray. Jan]

Five members of South Africa’s governing African National Congress party have arrived in Harare, the first group of foreign observers in Zimbabwe to monitor the March 31 vote, an electoral official said on Wednesday.

“Indeed the South Africans are the first ones to arrive of those coming from outside the country,” said Tarisai Manzonzo, spokesperson for the Electoral Supervisory Commission (ESC).

“Otherwise, there are other foreigners we have already accredited, the members of foreign diplomatic missions based in Zimbabwe,” he said.

The South Africans are from the African National Congress (ANC), a partner of the powerful Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), which on Tuesday launched the first in a series of planned protests to highlight appeals for democracy in elections in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe, under close scrutiny in the region to measure whether it will hold free and fair elections, has invited 45 foreign observer teams for the parliamentary polls.

Harare has been under pressure to allow foreign observers to monitor the March 31 parliamentary polls, which will be closely watched as a test of President Robert Mugabe’s government’s pledge to hold a free and transparent vote.

The government has meanwhile dismissed reports that it has deliberately not invited the South Africa Development Community (SADC) parliamentary forum.

It said Zimbabwe has extented an invitation to SADC and that included all SADC bodies.

“[The] SADC parliamentary forum cannot merit an invitation on its own as if it’s a sovereign entity,” said George Charamba, the goverment’s secretary for information. – Sapa-AFP
