Parti Mugabe tewas pilihan raya
02/04/2008 11:12pm

HARARE 2 April - Keputusan rasmi mutakhir menunjukkan parti Presiden Robert Mugabe, ZANU-PF telah gagal menguasai parlimen Zimbabwe.

Keputusan menunjukkan Gerakan Perubahan Demokrasi (MDC) memperolehi 105 kerusi berbanding 93 oleh ZANU-PF dalam Dewan Perwakilan yang mengandungi 210 kerusi.

Satu kerusi telah dimenangi oleh calon bebas. Ini bermakna sekiranya ZANU-PF memenangi kerusi selebihnya, ia gagal juga memperolehi kelebihan majoriti.

Pembangkang, MDC terdahulu mendakwa calon mereka juga telah memenangi pilihan raya Presiden yang diadakan bersama-sama dengan pengundian untuk parlimen Sabtu lalu. - AP

Zuma widens gap with Mbeki over Zimbabwe
By Cris Chinaka
HARARE (Reuters) - South African ruling party leader Jacob Zuma widened his disagreement with President Thabo Mbeki over Zimbabwe on Wednesday, saying anxiety was increasing by the day over a post-election deadlock there.

Zuma made his toughest comments yet on the delay in issuing election results in Zimbabwe as members of the U.N. Security Council and the African Union met in New York where they were expected to debate Zimbabwe, Sudan and Somalia.

Mbeki, increasingly isolated in his softly approach to Zimbabwe and his insistence there is no crisis there, is chairing the meeting at U.N. headquarters as rotating Security Council president. He wants to block discussion of Zimbabwe.

Zuma said in a speech near Johannesburg: "The region cannot afford a deepening crisis in Zimbabwe. The situation is more worrying now given the reported violence that has erupted."

Zuma ousted Mbeki as leader of the African National Congress last December and has moved gradually to increase his influence at the expense of his rival.

"We once again register our apprehension about the situation in Zimbabwe. The delay in the verification process and the release of results increases anxiety each day," Zuma told South Africa's Chambers of Commerce.

In another confirmation of Zimbabwe's collapse, the central statistics office said on Wednesday inflation, already the world's highest, had jumped to almost 165,000 percent in February. Unofficial estimates put it much higher.


A judge in Harare on Wednesday adjourned until Thursday hearing an MDC application to block a recount of all votes cast in 23 out of 210 constituencies in the March 29 parliamentary and presidential elections.

The MDC says the recount is another tactic by Mugabe to delay the election results while he orchestrates a campaign of militia violence to intimidate opposition supporters.
The High Court has already refused to order the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to release the presidential result.

FIRST DEFEAT

The MDC, which handed Mugabe's ZANU-PF party its first defeat in the parliamentary poll, says Tsvangirai should be declared leader of the economically devastated country after winning the undeclared presidential poll.

ZANU-PF says Tsvangirai did not win an absolute majority and a runoff will be necessary.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon joined the United States, Britain and France in urging the New York summit to discuss Zimbabwe.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who will attend the meeting, called on fellow leaders to send a clear message that they stood "solidly behind democracy and human rights for Zimbabwe".

Britain accuses Mugabe of delaying the election result to try to subvert the outcome.
The MDC and human rights groups say independence war veterans and other pro-Mugabe militia have organised systematic violence to try to ensure victory in a probable runoff.

An NGO called Zimbabwe Doctors for Human Rights said on Wednesday it had treated 173 victims of organised violence and torture between March 29 and April 14. It did not say who the victims or perpetrators were.

A summit of southern African nations in Zambia last weekend called for the rapid release of the election results but did not use the word crisis -- apparently at the insistence of Mbeki, who leads the region's biggest power.

A general strike called by the MDC on Tuesday to push for the release of the presidential result flopped, with most workers deterred by the fear of a police crackdown and their inability to make ends meet without working.

In addition to hyper-inflation, Zimbabwe suffers from chronic shortages of food and fuel and 80 percent unemployment. South Africa and other countries in the region have been flooded with millions of Zimbabwean economic migrants as a quarter of the population fled.

Zimbabwe cholera death toll over 1,500

More than two-thirds of deaths occurred in December alone

GENEVA - The death toll from a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe has risen to over 1,500 and case fatality rates are increasing, the United Nations said Saturday.

Some 1,518 people have now died of the disease and a total of 26,497 cases have been recorded since the start of the outbreak in August, the World Health Organization said. More than two-thirds of deaths occurred in December alone.

Agency spokesman Paul Garwood said the cholera outbreak is still not under control and that neighboring countries such as South Africa and Botswana, where the disease has also been reported, should scale up their disease monitoring and preparedness.

But the U.N. agency is counseling against mass vaccination campaigns, which it says are unproven and provide a false sense of security.

The latest figures, provided by Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health on Dec. 25, indicate that new infections are occurring in all parts of the country despite massive international aid efforts to stop the disease.

The poor state of Zimbabwe's health infrastructure, combined with crumbling sanitation systems and the start of the rainy season, have contributed to the spread of the cholera, which is transmitted through contaminated water supplies.

"The epidemiological week ending 20 December saw over 5,000 new cases — an increase in the number of weekly cases relative to previous weeks — and an increase in deaths outside treatment/health centers," the agency said on its Web site.

The percentage of cholera patients dying from the disease has risen to 5.7 percent from 4 percent at the beginning of the month, the agency said. Normally only 1 percent of patients die in large outbreaks, it said.

Zimbabwe's MDC calls for better security for PM
By MacDonald Dzirutwe
HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's MDC party said the car accident in which the prime minister was hurt and his wife was killed could have been avoided if proper security had been put in place, its secretary general said on Saturday.

MDC Secretary-General and Finance Minister Tendai Biti said police were examing whether foul play was involved in the accident. The party will conduct its own investigation, he said.

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai should have been given proper security, Biti told reporters following a party meeting.

"If there had been a police escort, what happened would not have happened; the authorities could have avoided this omission," he said.

Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, was killed when a truck veered into the opposite lane on Friday and slammed into their vehicle. She was thrown out of the car, which overturned and rolled three times, and was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.

Tsvangirai suffered some head and neck wounds, but his condition was stable, Biti said.

"Mr. Tsvangirai is stable, but he's in physical pain. The physical pain is dwarfed by the loss of his wife," he said.

The driver of the truck, which belongs to the United States Development Agency is in police custody.

President Robert Mugabe, who visited his old rival in hospital, said on Saturday the accident and the death of Tsvangirai's wife was a tragic blow on a nation that was celebrating a new power-sharing government.

"We were celebrating this major development when the tragedy struck. It is very sad indeed," Mugabe said.

Tsvangirai and Mugabe formed a power-sharing government in February after months of talks to try to end a political and economic crisis that has brought Zimbabwe to ruin.

Several world leaders offered condolences to Tsvangirai, among them South African President Kgalema Motlanthe.
The crash occurred about 50 km (30 miles) south of Harare as Tsvangirai headed to his rural home in Buhera along the potholed Harare-Masvingo highway.

Tsvangirai, who turns 57 on Tuesday, had six children with Susan, 50. She was very popular among MDC supporters who would to chant "mother, mother" when she appeared at rallies.

She avoided the political spotlight but stood by Tsvangirai throughout his struggle as Mugabe's most determined opponent.
