Civic group wants observers for run-off:HARARE

A church-led civic society alliance says it will ask the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to despatch observers to Zimbabwe to monitor an expected run-off between President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.


The Christian Alliance on Thursday said it would dispatch envoys to SADC Chairman President Levy Mwanawasa of Zambia and South African President Thabo Mbeki to plead for observers to ensure the run-off election will be free of violence. We want to ensure that there is no violence in the run-off as we believe there are high chances of political violence because we hear Zanu (PF) is mobilising its militia to go to the rural areas, especially those areas that rejected the ruling party, said Alliance Co-ordinator Useni Sibanda. – ZimOnline
