Cases of politically-motivated violence continue to be reported daily and observers have questioned Mr Mugabe’s sincerity in calling for a peaceful poll as ZANU-PF supporters continue intimidate their opponents. Most political analysts believe that Mugabe cannot win the election fairly. Further evidence Mugabe is pulling out all the stops to win mounted this week as it emerged his loyalists are now using the police to serialise ballots, adding to several already exposed election preparation scandals, in a move that is likely to spark outrage just a few days before polling day.
Police were also reportedly printing ballots. Senior government officials told the Zimbabwe Independent this week police’s controversial involvement in ballot printing and inserting of serial numbers may well be unconstitutional and unlawful. Five days to elections and our mood is one of cautious optimism that these elections despite all odds will be free and fair. Very doubtful that ZANU-PF will do the right thing.
