The Commander in Chief and the Zanu PF cadre Comrade Robert Mugabe says he is ready for the polls,slams violence.On Satrtuday he  called for his supporters to avoid violence in elections,he says should happen this year and that his party Zanu PF is poised to win resoundingly.

He told supporters at a rally for his 88th birthday that the time has come to make up with the MDC with whom he was forced to share power after the disputed elections of 2008.

''We used to fight each other ,but time has come for us to do politics in a much cultured way'',he said in an hour long address at a stadium in Mutare .

''Although our differences our differences are political,we shouldnt regard them as a source of hatred.No .No violence,no violence.''


Mugabe ,who has held power since independence in 1980,has become a pariah in the West ,blamed for running the Zimbabwean economy down and the abuse of human rights ,through violence,and farm invasions.


This move by the President to conduct the elections before the approval of the constitution does not go well with the majority of the Zimbabwean people.People believe in the rule of law and so every procedure should be done in the respect of law.

Calling for the members and the supporters of the party is plausible as a leader because a lot of people died in 2008 elections motivated violence perpetrated by both parties the opposition MDC and the Zanu PF supporters.

    We thank the Almighty for protecting and walking with our political father upto this far. However the main issue of concern is about human abuses mainly through the use of the repressive state apparatus.

It looks like the rains are only pounding the Harare surrounding areas while most of the country are dry. As most of the crops wilt due to high temperatures and erratic rainfall ,villagers in this part of the Mashonaland  East province think their plight will escalate if polls are held this year. The fear that if elections are held under same conditions as those of 2008 , violence can erupt with torture camps re-assembled. "2008 was a bad year .We suffered violent elections and hunger with no food ,we suffered a lot ",said  Chirwande as she looked at her lifeless maize field.Previous elections held in 2008 left at l...

file photo Harare. President Mugabe on Friday criticized the Eu's decision to maintain sanctions  against the country's leadership and accused it of trying to topple its leader. The Eu's 27 member state extended an arms embargo and a freeze on development aid for Zimbabwe for another six months. They did how ever remove a third of other people affect on assets freeze and company bans doing business with 20 Zimbabwe entities. This move by the Eu is to  still monitor  the move of the government of Zimbabwe in conducting the elections this year.The government remains isolated ,as the president is still restricted from the international community.I think the Eu knows that if they slacken the targeted sanctions a little bit ,this will give room for some diamond trade  business ,so that the economy remains put in a way.
