Zimbabwe: election apathy

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Zimbabwe

This is Zimbabwe writes about the lack of participation in Zimbabwe's elections…. [1]“I can’t help but be reminded today of the words of Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1986: “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference”. Perhaps mugabe should take note of our apathy and our disinterest and realise that Zimbabwean voters are further away from him and his policies than we ever have been before. Our anger and pain hasn’t translated into the support that he craves; instead, we’ve moved even further away towards indifference. He should be worried.”
