The dust is yet to settle and although the people have spoken we remain under the dictatorship of Robert Mugabe and Thabo Mbeki, the inseparable brothers that fail to see reality.A SADC meeting was convened and ended like all is normal in Zimbabwe.I am not as learned but I think I have some grasp of knowledge and hence I have an issue that is considered a legal matter. Our constitution states that "In the event that no one candidate secures an outright majority a run-off election must be held within 21 days after the election to determine the ultimate winner."Now it is 16 days after the election which means there are 5 days left before a run-off , if it is warranted,but the initial result has yet to be announced and a learned High Court Judge feels he can throw away a case to announce these results immediately with costs, making us all fools to say the process should take its course.What in the world is this process that does not recognize that it is NOT a cat and mouse game here?These people ZEC command center, were to add numbers that had already been compiled and completed, then cross check, not stuff ballots and recount,which is verifying, which certainly does not require 2 weeks and announce a winner.The command center was to collate the results and announce the winner and loser in the Presidential election.We are fed up with people like George Chiweshe whom we can now believe is working with ZANU PF until he proves otherwise and Tendai Uchena will no longer be a Justice in my eyes the best thing for him to do is retire or look for a job within ZANU PF,or go to a farm which his masters have already allocated him.For those that have more knowledge on this issue I ask you to contribute and enlighten some of us who might be getting it right but wrong.

Arise Zimbabwe
The people of Zimbabwe have spoken and what a relief it has been.I could hear in the distance the great Martin Luther King's slogan,"Free at last".Given the uneven playing field in politics in Zimbabwe I salute the resolve by the MDC secretary general to preempt the results because that made it very difficult for the ruling party to manipulate the results as they have done in the past.For those that might not be familiar with how this machinery works they always claim that most of the support for Zanu PF is from the rural areas ans they give themselves votes far more than in urban areas.Here is is the irony,queues were a talk of town in most urban centers with people working up as early as 4 am but where there was low voter turnout-rural areas, there were more votes counted. If you apply logic you are likely to have more than one family with voters in one house in Highfields where there is one house after another.In a rural set up you might have one voter in one homestead and these homesteads are so much spread out that it takes a while to get to the next house and worse still some of these do not even have people of voting age.There were 120 seats and they increased these to 210 by cutting down urban areas and increasing rural areas which means the number of voters should actually decrease but instead it remains the same or even increased.It has been how Zimbabwe continued to be drawn into anarchy but no man can fool all the people all the time.Time has come and I urge Zimbabweans to give the President,Morgan Tsvangirai all the support to rebuild Zimbabwe. Lets not forget to lock up all thieves including Gono , Mudede,Kangai, Chinotimba being in the fore.Mugabe must give back all the wealth he has stolen and pardoned for the role he played in gaining independence. All multiple farm owners must surrender them immediately we need to get back on trail as soon as possible. For all those that can invest lets do it or lets encourage investors to sow in in our rich Zimbabwe. Lets not forget the 2010 world cup is around the corner lets make enough preparations to benefit from that venture. Arise Zimbabwe-lets all do our part
