Zimbabwe’s opposition claims a clear lead over President Robert Mugabe and his party, as pressure mounts for the swift announcement of full results from presidential and parliamentary polls.
Riot police patrolled the capital Harare as the first official returns trickled in, putting Mugabe’s ruling Zanu-PF party and challenger Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) neck and neck in the parliamentary election.
The opposition charged that delays in releasing the full results from Saturday’s ballots were part of an effort to help Mugabe prolong his 28-year rule.
"The people have spoken against the dictatorship," MDC general secretary Tendai Biti told a press conference.

NVDL: If Mugabe wins, and South Africa continue with their so-called 'quiet diplomacy' [that's code for endorsing someone who is essentially a glutton for self-enrichment at the expense of an entire country], I think I'm going to start considering packing my bags.

Mugabe Wins Another Term In Shock Victory
In a victory that has caught the international press by surprise, President Mugabe has won another term by a landslide victory. Zanu-PF mananged a comfortable 62% of the vote. Officials - wha? Huh? What do you mean we can only release this after the vote?
Now for the funnies...
A man is caught in a traffic jam when suddenly, someone taps on the window of his car. He lowers the window and asks what he wants.
The other man says, "President Mugabe was kidnapped and the ransom is $50 million dollars. If the ransom is not paid, the kidnappers have threatened to douse the President with gasoline and set him on fire. We are taking up a collection. Do you wish to participate?"
The man in the car asks, "On average, what are people donating?"
The other man replies, "About 5 to 10 liters".
Local is sometimes not so lekker
Queen Elizabeth, Bill Clinton & Robert Mugabe died & went straight to hell.
Queen Elizabeth said "I miss England, I want to call England and see how everybody is doing there.
She called and talked for about 5 minutes, then she asked "Well ,devil how much do I owe you????
The devil says "Five million dollars"
She wrote him a cheque and went to sit back on her chair.
Bill Clinton was so jealous, he starts screaming, "My turn! I wanna call the United States, I want to see how everybody is doing there too"
He called and talked for about 2 minutes, then he asked "Well, devil how much do I owe you????
The devil says "Ten million dollars"
With a smug look on his face, he made a cheque and went to sit back on his chair.
Robert Mugabe was even more jealous & starts screaming, "I want to call Zim too, I want to see how everybody is doing there too. I wanna talk to the ministers, to the deputy, I wanna talk to everybody".....
He called Zim and he talked for about twenty hours, he talked & talked & talked, then he asked "Well, devil how much do I owe you????
The devil says "One dollar".
Mugabe is stunned & says "One dollar??? Only one lousy dollar??"
The devil says "Well if you make a call from one hell to another hell, it's local".
And now this is scary.
