MDC have taken the evidence of the
rigged Zimbabwean elections to court with the hope the later will declare the
elections null and avoid and demand a rerun.
The MDC is seeking an audit of the
voters' roll, ballots and voter registration. It has also appealed to the high
court to compel the electoral commission to produce copies of the voters' roll
and provide the presidential election results for each constituency.
In the court documents the MDC also
alleges that an Israeli company was paid $US10.5 million to manipulate the
voters' roll.
Without the democratic reforms
to ensure the independence of the Courts, ZEC, Police, etc.; vote rigging was
as certain as night follows day. And who failed to make sure that the courts,
ZEC, Police, etc. were independent? It was Tsvangirai and MDC; the same people
who are crying that the elections were rigged.
The nation desperately wanted
free and fair elections so that the people can finally enjoy the freedom,
liberty and economic prosperity denied them all these years by Mugabe and Zanu
PF.
The nation knows Mugabe rigged
these elections. Tsvangirai and MDC should have implemented the necessary
reforms to ensure there were free and fair elections. All the court hearing
will achieve at best is have some of the details of the rigging established but
I doubt if MDC has the competency to uncover a compiling case to force a rerun
of the elections, particularly given the court is loaded with pro-Zanu PF
loyalists.
No
Zimbabwean in his right mind would accept that Tsvangirai was right to
have wasted the many chances to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and bring
democratic change in order to "establishing a public record of facts on
the event". Only a nincompoop would think that knowing a few more
ugly details of how Mugabe rigged the elections will make up for heavy price
the nation is going to pay for the wasted opportunities to bring democratic
change!

MDC would do a lot better admitting they are useless and they f*** up. The Court hearing is meant to be a cover up so Tsvangirai can say "You see, Mugabe cheated!" and never have to deal with the important and obvious question of why he had done nothing to stop the rigging.
The rigging was on such a scale that it is embarrassing how anyone could not have seen this coming. The truth is that Tsvangirai did not.
Even before we hear more of the gore details of how Mugabe rigged, we know enough already to conclude that Tsvangirai was an imbecile. For only a complete imbecile would have expressed complete confidence in the election process the day before the elections when he still does not have the finalised voters' roll and does not have the list of Polling Station.
Alarms bells should have been ringing, but not in Tsvangirai's head! What an idiot! He made it impossible for Mugabe to do anything else but cheat.
Many people have said Mugabe is shocked at the scale of his rigging machine. Millions of voters were denied the right to vote because their names were not on the voters' roll and yet many 27 out 210 constituency had 70% plus voter turnout.
Chipinge East had 141% voter turnout! The seat was won by Zanu PF with a nearly 50% margin. There are one million dead people on Zimbabwe's voters' roll and they have been know to "vote"! Well this time, Mugabe must have got some of the dead to vote twice or three times!
@ Super mondo
What you, MDC supporters have failed to understand for the last five years and still do not understand is that Tsvangirai is incompetent and this court challenge will achieve nothing!
If you think Zimbabweans are going to risk life and limb again just to get Tsvangirai and his fellow MDC idiots back on the gravy train; you clearly need your head examined! I know Zimbabweans have been stupid enough to do it in the past but they are not going to do so again; they are not that stupid!
@ New Zimbabwean
The political repression and corruption will continue; Mugabe is not going to stop any of that. Indeed, the army of thugs who helped Mugabe rig this election will not let him stop even if he wanted to! If you think the millions of Zimbabweans are going to seat back and let Mugabe and his thugs continue to turn their lives into a hell-on-earth then you really need your head examined!
Just because Tsvangirai has turned out to be one of the most incompetent leaders in human history does not mean Mugabe and Zanu PF can now do as they please!
