Here is part of what BBC World reports: "The MDC, which has repeatedly expressed fears of rigging, has started to quote unofficial returns, saying it has 67% of the vote so far and "has won". (For those who are not following the elections, the MDC is the opposition)
The electoral commission said it was "concerned" at the "purported" results.The information minister accused the MDC of "speculation and lies" and "causing unnecessary havoc".
So now starts the really scary part. I cannot start to imagine what the people of Zimbabwe are feeling. I wish them the very best. I mostly wish them peace and safety but reading this pretty good blog it is hard to be too optimistic, still I am hoping. And here is somebody, who sounds like she is in Zimbabwe right now, talking the day before the elections ending their blog with "Then, we will wait the painful wait for election results in Zimbabwe" but generally stating a state of "tolerance". So, see, there is hope.
And for the record it is very unfair and uncalled for to keep on saying that "South Africa is the next Zimbabwe".
