Tsvangirai banged up
The leader of the MDC, Morgan Tsvangirai, has been arrested and banged up in a police cell after his convoy was intercepted en-route to a political rally.
Two months ago I predicted Mugabe would have Tsvangirai pulled up in front of one of his pet judges on some charge and get him standing in the presidential elections unconstitutional. I thought it would be on a trumped up charge of electoral fraud but it could be anything.
MDC says that 58 of its supporters have been killed by Mugabe’s trolls, two of which were apparently wrapped in a blanket, doused with petrol and burnt to death.
Mugabe will clearly stop at nothing to stay in power, be it fraud, torture or plain murder.

No ruling elite gives up power without a fight, that’s clear. Hope Gordon’s not getting any ideas, 42 days in a police cell would fuck up an election campaign…
I expect that the election will go ahead and that Mugabe will narrowly win. That is why the MDC have been mobilising, the election outcome is certain, it’s what happens after it.
