This is Zimbabwe writes about the lack of participation in Zimbabwe's elections….“I can’t help but be reminded today of the words of Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1986: “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference”. Perhaps mugabe should take note of our apathy and our disinterest and realise that Zimbabwean voters are further away from him and his policies than we ever have been before. Our anger and pain hasn’t translated into the support that he craves; instead, we’ve moved even further away towards indifference. He should be worried.”

    Mugabe is a well known dictator. Those who believe Mugabe can be removed through a ballot must think ten times we did not participate because our leaders including Gibson sibanda addressed a rally at white city stadium where over ten thousand people braved the scotching heat and hinted on boycotting the elections,how ever that was uninimously carried out and we believe in majority rule. No one showed intrest in elections as long they dont bring bread and butter issues. They madefurther consultations country wide and people told them that they are not intrested in participation, however we heard our NC being divided over the issue whether to participate or not that surprised us and we standby our descion that we gave them. How ever we salute Morgan for being democratic standing by the majority rule. KEEP IT MORGAN WE ARE BEHIND YOU
