I really didn't know too much about it, but I did just get though reading an article on-line about Zimbabwe's poor billionaires.
It stated that their money is so devalued, that it takes like 10 million (Zimbabwe-an)dollars to buy a gallon of gas.
I just cannot imagine such an environment. I hope things get better for them no matter the outcome of the election.

I even heard that he had enrolled thousands of dead peoples names and used them to vote for him. Thats pretty desperate and sick.

I heard this story where some powerful guy back in the 60's sent Mugabe to Prison. This dude died 20 years ago and somehow he is voting for Mugabe at the age of 102 years old . Sounds pretty obvious to me. Not only is he 102 but hes also able to vote from Heaven

I wouldn't put that past him...
He has always been very paranoid.. And for good reason too...
I saw an advert on tv in South Africa for Mugabe's opposition.... It was really interesting...
It seems that there are alot who are putting alot of hope on this elections...
Previously anyone who has opposed him they have been scared off...
Not this one

I saw a program on tv here yesterday (Thursday) about Zimbabwe, Mugabe rules the place with an iron fist.
Inflation is way out of control, a bottle of tomato sauce costs more than an average person earns per month!
Most shops are out of goods to sell, only those that have foodstuffs to sell are visited by those who have a money supply from outside the country of are from the government.
Hospital services are so poor - few drugs and medical supplies.

Mugabe is a madman that is for sure. However, what do people here know of Kenya's Odinga? That guy would truly be scary if he came to power.

Mugabe has ruined a once beautiful country and slowly murdered its people.
