In our Kubatana email newsletter last week, we asked When should an election that respects the will of the people be held, and what needs to be in place before that happens?

Farai, a loyal subscriber from Chipinge responded today saying:

One way or the other, writing of a people’s driven constitution is not possible since ZANU PF and its structures are intact, moreso, militia and loyal uniformed forces are now on the ground in areas such as Zaka District. The option on its own, would make the demagogues get up to 2013 in offices and acquiring all required terminal benefits since the office terms would be accomplished in disguise. Option B of having UNO supervised elections would be rather better for it would not be time buying and wastage of  resources on the expense of the natives at large. May AU allow us to bypass SADC as to map new hope in the country?
