Election day in Africa

As some of you might night know it is election day in Zimbabwe, everybody expects Robert Mugabe to steal the election. They even have dead people still on the voters roll or an 'extra' 3 million ballot papers than there are voters in the country.

Everybody knows that the elections will not be free and fair, here in South Africa everybody you talk to tells you that the rampant crime and unemployment is partly due to the catastrophic collapse of the Zimbabwean economy, (I think the inflation is still running at 100 000%).

But the really scary and alarming thing about it is the fact that the South African government still claims that everything in Zimbabwe is 'free and fair'.
They don't seem to think to mind the extra ballot papers, the dead on the voters roll, I was watching sky news and they are saying the same, why is South Africa praising the election process that everybody can see is flawed. I mean, even the previous president of Zimbabwe, (then Rhodesia), is on the voters roll, he died last year!

208.10 etc.

Hi!

After 2 private messages, I thought I'd post a comment. Entirely deletable, of course. I can't say I have had any trouble from 208.10.x.y. At least, they're not included in the 298 most recent hits that have been registered by statcounter. The only suspicious traffic that I have ever noticed only comes from 38.x.y.z. Oh well, if 208.etc., don't show an interest in my blog, I have no problem with having them blocked;-).

Sorry I didn't get back to you.
I saw your messages on my phone, but I did not reply straightaway

I will widen the block to 38.x as soon as the move to the new server is complete.
