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.

[You mean Mugabe can dawdle legally for up to 6 months? Jan]
Harare – The head of the Zimbabwe High Court stressed on Friday that all challenges to parliamentary results from the country’s March elections would be completed within a six-month period.
The ruling party and opposition filed legal challenges with the Electoral Court to half of the parliamentary results, casting further doubt on the disputed and violence-ridden electoral process.
President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party, which lost its majority for the first time in the March 29 election, is contesting the outcome in 53 of the 210 constituencies while the opposition Movement for Democratic Change is disputing 52.
Rita Makarau, judge president of the High Court, told a meeting attended by judges and lawyers that no delay beyond six months, which is stipulated in the law, would be allowed for the record number of challenges.
“All electoral petitions must be held within six months. We owe it to Zimbabwe to complete the cases within six months.
Makarau also warned the lawyers that if they asked for a postponement “it may not be granted so that we will meet the deadline.
“We are not going to allow postponements that take more than six months.”
MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai also beat Mugabe in the presidential election but fell short of an overall majority needed to avoid a second round.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission is yet to announce the date for a second round of the presidential poll which Tsvangirai is threatening to boycott after insisting he passed the 50-percent threshold in the original ballot.
