South African Judges Found Zimbabwe Election Unfair

A Johannesburg newspaper has won a six-year-long battle to secure a report on the 2002 Zimbabwean election compiled by South African judges. The judges, appointed by then President Thabo Mbeki, found the election was not free and and fair. But Mbeki suppressed the report and President Jacob Zuma's administration fought tooth and nail against the Mail & Guardian's efforts to have it published.
