The leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirayi, must not preempt the election results by announcing early victory prior to the release of official results.
By so doing he is stoking the fires of post election violence should the MDC lose the election. Who wants another Kenya just across our border. We have more than enough illegal Zimbabwean immigrants living in South Africa.
Yesterday in the Johannesburg city centre, near the Noord street taxi rank, Zimbabweans were happily proclaiming that MDC has won and Mugabe is out. This is as a result of the irresponsible behavior of people like Tsvangirayi.
He should wait until the results are officially released. If there is any reasonable suspicion of election rigging, then the intervention of the African Union (AU) can be sought.
If the AU concludes that the elections were indeed rigged then they should act, and do so harshly. They can send an army to remove anyone clinging to power illegally like they did in the Comoros Island. Then I'll have confidence in the toothless AU.
