(1) @SADC_News & @DrTaxs, when Zimbabweans accuse SADC of being biased in your support of flawed electoral processes in Zim, it's not out of hate but from evidence based knowledge that the Joint Operation Command (JOC), a security services organ, bribes pple on behalf of Zanu-PF.
@DrTaxs, you might be interested to know that in 2013, JOC had a US$990m budget for what it called "regional diplomacy (Next SADC Chair, lib mvts) to drum up support for poll credibility before, during & after elections." @usembassyharare, @TimoOlkkonen @MoFA_ZW @ZECzim
(3) It is clear @DrTaxs , that the US$990m was nothing but bribes paid to the "Next SADC Chair", then Dr Joyce Banda, & a host of former liberation movements, which are quick to endorse Zim elections even when there is incontrovertible evidence of rigging & violence by Zanu-PF.
(4) You will also realise, @DrTaxs, that despite the electoral law making it illegal for any political party to receive foreign funding in Zim, Zanu-PF gets donations from the Communist Party of China (CPC) & money from foreign individuals eg from DRC & Equatorial Guinea.
(5)So next time if u see Zimboz accusing u of being biased towards Zanu-PF, know that it's caz they know some of your @SADC_News officials, have bn bribed b4.They might not have evidence u were, but when u begin to sound like your bribed predecessors,they have reason to suspect.
6)FYI @DrTaxs,the Joint Operations Command(JOC) is the supreme organ for coordination of state security in Zim. It was established by the Rhodesian Forces to supervise counter-insurgency campaigns in the Rhodesian Bush War. It's now the military organ running elections 4 Zanu-PF
(7) @DrTaxs , when you hear us registering disquiet over how elections are being run by the military in Zimbabwe, it is a genuine concern for we know the playing field is never level when Zanu-PF uses the army & military tactics to coerce citizens to vote for the party.
8) It is that element that makes our elections discredited, our govt illegitimate & the political crisis perpertual,resulting in our economy tailspinning. It's NEVER sanctions @DrTaxs. Surely if JOC can mobilise US$3bn to rig an election, govt can raise billions 4 economic growth
9) So @DrTaxs & your counterparts in @AfricanUnionNew, do us a favour, don't peddle the lie that Zimbabwe is in an economic crisis because of sanctions when the same govt can spend US$990m bribing pple to endorse rigged elections.
10)@DrTaxs we got a crisis in Zim but it's never abt sanctions but legitimate leadership.We have had coups & stolen elections punctuated by violence from the army which is suppossed to protect us.I make these submissions fully aware I might not be alive tomorrow,that's Zim for u.
