Eers sou hulle twee maande gelede vrygelaat gewees het.
Dinsdag was hul opgelegde vonnis uitgedien.
Gister is hul le uiteindelik vrygelaat, maar glo net 6 het oor die grens
gekom - die ander is glo na 'n " onbekende plek" in Zimbabwe geneem.
Die SA missie in Zimbabwe het net mooi niks aan die hele treurige storie
gedoen nie.
Gaan daardie wat nie laasnag oor die grens gekom het nie, hul land ooit weer
lewendig sien?
Vir die wat nie weet waarvan ek praat nie, dit gaan oor die 62 wat gevang en
skuldig bevind is in Zimbabwe vir die moontlike omverwerping van 'n
Afrikastaat.
Zimbabwe's parliamentary elections last month were so "impeccable"
that South Africa must seriously consider learning how to run
elections from her northern neighbour, ANC MP Nthabiseng Khunou said
yesterday.
Khunou, who was part of the SA parliament's observer group to the
elections, told a stunned audience at the SA Institute of
International Affairs in Johannesburg yesterday that she and her ANC
delegation had been so impressed with how the election was run that
they urged South Africa to adopt some of Zimbabwe's electoral rules.
This led to lively discussion at an election review meeting entitled
"Zimbabwe Election 2005 - Interpretations, Implications, Prospects
towards 2008" that two members of the audience rose, declared their
membership of the ANC, and said Khunou had disgraced the ANC.
But a defiant Khunou stood by her remarks. She said there had been no
political violence or repression in Zimbabwe and the election had been
held peacefully.
"There are so many negative things written about Zimbabwe but we could
not get any evidence to support them. The pre-election process was
well planned and executed. There was no evidence to justify food
discrimination claims against MDC supporters," she said.
Khunou said the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act,
used to shut down five newspapers, and the Public Order and Security
Act, under which the opposition required police permission to hold
political meetings, had been implemented to "enforce law and order".
The DA's Diane Kohler-Barnard said after listening to her colleague's
presentation that she felt she had attended a different event in a
different country. She then chronicled a list of developments she said
could not have made the election free and fair.
Asked to list Zimbabwe's electoral rules which she would want South
Africa to adopt, Khunou said: "The queueing system. The queueing
system at polling stations was very pleasing."
An incensed Elinor Sisulu, daughter-in-law of Walter Sisulu, told
Khunou that victims of torture and rape by Mugabe's thugs who had fled
to South Africa would be seriously hurt by her words. Khunou said she
was not aware of such victims. Sisulu countered that Khunou and her
party's "skewed" assessment of the Zimbabwe election was probably the
result of observing it from the Sheraton Hotel. - Mercury Foreign
