    What a farce this is. Saying that more than three times the votes than in 2000 this time round !

    This is just another Mugabe top up of yes votes just like he had to do at the last elections and the ones to come !!

    Each time bob opens his mouth the sewers block. Drive around Harare, you can smell it. Zimbabwe is losing its credibility by the day as the idiots at the top twist and turn things to keep them in power and lock up the people who are trying rid the country of a bad cancer of corruption and murderers.
