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
