In a legal case brought about by Penelope Douglass Stone and Richard Harold Stuart Beattie regarding $142,000 converted by their bank into {worthless} Zimbabwe Dollars at the rate of 1:1

The High Court of Zimbabwe on 15th February 2023 ruled that laws used to convert US$ balances into Zimbabwean dollars were unconstitutional to the extent that they violated property rights. Further, it ordered Respondents to pay the money to Applicants in US$ [USD] not Zim$.

Prof Steve Hank Table of Currency Depreciation Feb 2023

In a legal case brought about by Penelope Douglass Stone and Richard Harold Stuart Beattie regarding $142,000 converted by their bank into {worthless} Zimbabwe Dollars at the rate of 1:1

current rate 1300:1!! See Prof Steve Hanke data on depreciating currencies - with the Zimbabwe Dollar being the World's worst performer.

It remains to be seen if the highly politised Judiciary in Zimbabwe will honour this case and return USD to the victims of this State Sponsored Crime! Unfortunately this is a huge case and involves the entire population

2023 Election Environment - Intimidation and Violence

An IPS article appeared in Africa.Com on 13th February 2023 clearly raising international concerns over proven intimidation as Zimbabwe heads into another Election later this year. The ruling party {A military Junta} has a long history of ensuring that they "win" these apparent democratic elections - however for the last 43 years the evidence is overwhelmingly clear that rigging of the votes, violence and intimidation seems to be the main election strategy of Zanu PF and its so called president - Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa his {false and propaganderised} profile is uploaded to Wiki by the Zanu PF regime - Read it Here Not sure if any of it is true, down to his date of birth!

In addition in the United Kingdom, their Home Office has an 'agressive' attitude towards valid Asylum seekers, fleeing the Zanu PF regime and its 'tentacles' in the diaspora. The Home Office claims that CCC { the primary opposition} can "freely" campaign in Zimbabwe. The article below and many, many before it clearly demonstrate that is DISINFORMATION. Shame on the UK Government for such a lack of empathy, and deliberate ignorance of the true state of affairs in Zimbabwe.

The article has been reproduced below and many thanks to www.africa.com and the author Ignatius Banda.

Article By Ignatius Banda is below

ZimbabweWith political violence escalating in Zimbabwe, national elections slated for later this year face questions about whether the polls will meet free and fair international benchmarks. Zimbabwe’s elections have routinely met scrutiny largely because of what critics say is state-sponsored violence and the intimidation of opposition political parties. Recent weeks have seen violent attacks on opposition political supporters by suspected members of the ruling.

Zimbabwe African People’s Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) despite regular calls by President Emmerson Mnangagwa for peaceful political engagement among rival party supporters. The main opposition, the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), says its supporters have been brutalized by ruling party activists, with analysts noting that political violence is compromising the country’s stated commitment to holding free and fair elections.
In the aftermath of political violence recorded on a widely shared video last month where opposition party supporters were attacked, the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference (ZCBC) issued a statement raising concerns about the implications of such attacks on the credibility of the polls.

“As the nation heads towards the harmonized elections, we urge all political players to desist from the use of violence. The people’s fundamental rights should be respected at all times. There is no citizen who should be intimidated or coerced, and worse still, be beaten to make a choice,” the Catholic bishops said in a statement last month.

ZEC Errors and Incompetence

The title of "ZEC Errors and Incompetence" has missed out an important issue: Bias to the Zanu PF party and the corrupt judiciary.

The delimitation report that was presented by ZEC {3rd Fenbuary 2023} was FINAL, not another draft. Section 161(9) of the Constitution states that after a preliminary report has been referred back to ZEC for corrections, the changes made by ZEC will be FINAL.
 

Team Pachedu have completed another report. This simplified audit report lists more than a thousand errors and anomalies they found on 321 out of 509 pages of ZEC's delimitation report.  

The opposition has lost 3 constituencies in Harare when there was no need to collapse them. ZEC was supposed to slightly readjust boundaries as they did in other provinces. Instead, ZEC severely reconfigured boundaries and there will be a lot of confusion among voters.
