Serial killer on the loose
Sifting through the spam than inundates my inbox at work, I spotted this one – “Serial killer on the loose”.
Made me think that spam has gotten to be rather like google advertisements – smart enough to reflect the context of your present situation!
The magnitude of the state organised violence in Zimbabwe is mind blowing. In previous elections, zanupf did whatever it could to prevent people trying to vote. This time round they’re forcing people to go and vote for Mugabe in the presidential run-off election.
Their threats include post-election beatings of anyone ‘found’ to have stayed away or voted the ‘wrong way’. In true Mafia-style, they have threatened to beat the extended family of recalcitrant non-voters.
Long gone is any notion of a secret ballot. People are being told that they will have to report to a zanupf representative after they vote. They will be required to provide the receipt number on their ballot paper together with their national identity number. This way the ‘authorities’ will supposedly know how they voted.
The public are also being ‘informed’ by zanupf zealots that they will arbitrarily choose and beat the same number of people living near a polling station as there are votes NOT cast for Mugabe.
All very bizarre now that we know the run-off election is a one horse race.
There is indeed a serial killer on the loose.
