The Zanu (PF) government has reportedly requested the government of China to send a huge delegation.
President Robert Mugabe has put it on the record that only “friendly” nations would be invited to observe the elections and effectively ruling out members of the European Union and the US his regime deems as enemies.
Justice and Parliamentary Affairs minister Patrick Chinamasa confirmed to this paper that government had started inviting and accrediting observers, including Chinese. “Yes observers are already being accredited and we invited from across the whole world including China because we want to prove that these elections will be free and fair.”
The Zimbabwean heard from officials in the ministry of foreign affairs that in addition to an expected influx of Chinese, countries in the SADC region are also going to deploy delegations to observe the pre-election conditions in the coming weeks and give the usual thumbs up to the prevailing conditions in order to aid claims by the Mugabe regime that the elections shall be free and fair.
