This is how Zimbabwe's 23/24 August 2023 elections were conducted by the partisan, incorrigibly inefficient and remarkably incompetent Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.
People who arrived yesterday at a number of polling stations in Harare to vote before 7am still haven't voted today. They are still waiting - 24 hours later.
Even in 1980 when Zimbabwe was coming from a protracted war situation, things were never this bad.
This is the catastrophe of bad politics and mismanagement.
These elections have been truly shambolic. A farce. A sham. A charade. Monumental failure.

#EUImpalaCarsDealScandal
The European Union (EU)'s election observer mission to Zimbabwe is inadvertently subsidising human rights abuses and impunity in the country by hiring luxury cars for Wednesday’s crucial general elections from Impala Car Rental, a company associated with abduction and torture of citizens by local state security agency, Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), for political reasons.
Zimbabwe has many car rental companies, but the EU chose one with a grisly human rights record by association with CIO and its activities.
CIO is notorious for brutality and impunity against innocent citizens associated with the opposition and civil society.
It is sometimes used a political instrument by government for partisan political agendas, not protecting state security and the national interest.
In 2020, Impala rented cars to CIO which were used to abduct and torture a student journalist and opposition political activist Tawanda Muchehiwa.
Muchehiwa, who is a nephew to prominent https://t.co/dcdCa8HAeL editor Mduduzi Mathuthu, endured horrific and traumatic torture, which forced him to flee the country to the United Kingdom.
The abduction and torture scandal has not been resolved partly because Impala was not cooperative; it has effectively been protecting abductors and torturers who abuse citizens for partisan political reasons.
The Zimbabwean government has systematically ensured that those responsible for torture, abductions and political killings are never brought to justice.
As a result, impunity has now become a central problem in Zimbabwe where state and non-state actors commit widespread human rights violations without consequences and being brought to justice.
Unless the cycle of impunity can be broken, human rights abuses will continue and worsen unchecked and victims and their families will not see justice.
The EU election observer mission to Zimbabwe's deal with Impala - which involves a lot of money paid for the rented cars - amounts to an alarming subsidisation of horrific human rights violations and impunity.

JUST IN: We have given @ZECzim an hour to explain why it has denied human rights lawyer @KikaMusa accreditation to observe Zim’s 2023 general elections. Our lawyer @TinasheChinox has written a letter to @ZECzim demanding an explanation.

#ZimCoupRamifications
Since Zimbabwe's military coup which ousted the late former president Robert Mugabe in November 2017 - ending his 37-year authoritarian rule and 40 years at the helm of the ruling Zanu PF, still in power for 43 years now - there has been a dramatic upsurge of coups in Africa.
Former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo, an ex-military ruler who was the first in Africa to hand over power to a civilian government in 1979 after fours years in office (he was later elected in 1999 as Nigeria’s first civilian leader in 15 years), observed this last year.
He said Africa is struggling to extricate itself from a "culture" of military takeovers, saying Zimbabwe’s "wrong precedent" of the 2017 coup has fuelled a resurgence of putsches.
“I once moved a motion in 1999 then that any country that has a government not through constitutional means should be suspended,” he said.
“There should be no half measures about these; It started in Zimbabwe where they said ‘it’s not a coup and it’s a half coup, it’s near a coup’; A coup is a coup!."
Coups were rampant in Africa in the 1960s and 1970s, in the decades after independence and there is concern they are resurfacing forcefully again.
The takeover in Niger, led by the presidential guard, is just the latest in a string of coups which have rocked Africa in recent years.
There were two in Burkina Faso in 2022 as well as failed coup attempts in Guinea Bissau, The Gambia and the island nation of Sao Tome and Principe.
In 2021, there were six coup attempts in Africa, four of them successful.
The trouble is, whatever their root causes and dynamics, coups hardly lead to progressive change and democratisation.
Various studies have shown this.
Indeed, Zimbabwe's current experience and situation shows that.
