SADC observers big let down

Perhaps, as we go about our business, we should spare a thought for our neighbours in Zimbabwe. As we go to press Zimbaweans do not yet know the full results, after voting in a historic election last Saturday. Although parliamentary results are out, the nation and the world are on tenterhooks waiting for the presidential elections results. This is unacceptable.

What, however, is astonishing is that election observers such as Southern African Development Community observers have declared this election as free and fair even before the process could be completed.
