Mnangagwa is the Law in Zim – Accept or face the consequences

Observers told not to stray

President Mnangagwa has said Zimbabwe will not allow observers to dictate to its citizens and biased observer missions will not be able to observe the country’s harmonised elections on August 23.
President Mnangagwa, who was addressing an interface meeting with small to medium scale miners in Gweru on Wednesday, said some countries had already predicted and announced Zimbabwe’s election results.
He said such countries with a biased view of the country’s electoral process will not be allowed to be observers.
“Elections are upon us,” said President Mnangagwa. “Those who want to come and observe our elections can come. But there are some who have already predicted our election results even before the elections are held.
“They must not come. Why should they come when they claim they already have the results?”
President Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe could not be lectured about democracy by outsiders when the country waged a protracted liberation war to attain the same democracy.
“No one can teach us democracy because we fought for democracy,” he said.
“We fought for democracy because we wanted democracy. So who are you to then come today intending to teach us democracy? We fought for democracy and we are enjoying democracy and we shall entrench it.”
President Mnangagwa said those who wish and crave for a violent election in Zimbabwe will not succeed.
He said Zimbabwe was one of the most peaceful countries on the continent and was capable of running a free, fair and peaceful election.
“There are some who wish for a violent election in Zimbabwe, that will not happen,” he said.
“We are one of the most peaceful countries on the continent, we are a peaceful country, we are united and we are democratic.”

Zimbabwe, EU sign elections observation agreement
Farirai Machivenyika Senior Reporter
Zimbabwe and the European Union have signed an administrative agreement to formalise the invitation of the bloc to observe the forthcoming harmonised elections.
The AA was signed between the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Professor Amon Murwira and EU’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe Jorbst von Kirchmann.
In his remarks, Prof Murwira said since the advent of universal suffrage in 1980, it has been Zimbabwe’s practice to invite foreign governments and organisations to observe its elections.
“In line with this tradition, and the Government’s engagement and re-engagement policy, the Government of Zimbabwe is, once again, inviting international observers to witness the people of Zimbabwe exercise their sovereign right to freely elect a President, Members of the Lower and Upper Houses of Parliament, and Local Government representatives of their choice during these forthcoming harmonised general elections. Among other international organisations, the EU is one of the entities invited to observe the upcoming harmonised elections,” he said.
Ambassador von Kirchmann said they were expecting at least 150 observers with the first group of 11 experts expected in the country next week.
The EU observer team will be led by Italian Member of the European Parliament Mr Fabio Castaldo who will be the chief elections observer.
