6:08 am
from n.g.o.s we also do know that there are still sanctions that the u.s. have applied to them and that is infinitely some form of. politicizing of the oil interference of the elections by the americans and i think america is playing a part of dangerous game with this because if the wrong candidate as far as they're concerned which is been on guard wait he retains power if he is able to succeed to it and it does look like he's going to that america will certainly be left on the outside of that having used the influence financial and political influence during the run up to the election i don't believe it's going to be you do positively once a result has been announced many countries have strict rules on what can be done during political campaigns and zimbabwe is no exception some of its restrictions though are very special.
