Zimbabwe has followed Kenya’s route, as President Mnangagwa is given a second term in a resounding victory.
Lusaka, Aug. 27 – Elections Commission in Zimbabwe announced that Mnangagwa won 52.6 percent of the vote compared with 44 percent for challenger Nelson Chamisa.
A victory for Nelson Chamisa, would have been a victory for the Brenthurst Foundation that took over power in Zambia, immediately changing the face of a nation that was once respected as a non-aligned Pan African state into a puppet of the West.
“Mnangagwa Emmerson Dambudzo of ZANU-PF party is declared duly elected president of the Republic of Zimbabwe,” ZEC chairwoman Justice Chigumba told journalists.
A supposedly neutral Dr. Nevers Mumba, appointed by the Brenthurst Foundation member, President Hakainde Hichilema, shamelessly escorted the main opposition candidate from the CCC Party; Nelson Chamisa to cast his vote in Harare’s Kawadzana Suburb.

Writes Sean Tembo, “The controversy about the Report released by the SADC Observer Mission headed by Dr. Nevers Mumba is something that could have been avoided, had Dr. Mumba and the SADC Mission not only maintained their independence (if any), but also the appearance of independence. It is on record that on voting day, Dr. Mumba escorted the main opposition candidate from the CCC Party; Nelson Chamisa to cast his vote in Harare’s Kawadzana Suburb. Even if Dr. Mumba and his SADC Mission might have in fact been independent and objective in their Observer Mission, the fact that they publicly aligned with an opposition leader renders their Report, which castigates the election, tainted and useless. Some roles are very delicate and require you to not only be independent and objective as a matter of fact, but you must also appear to be independent and objective. Dr. Mumba evidently failed the appearance test, much to the detriment of his entire SADC Observer Mission.”
