President Robert Mugabe has signed the new Zimbabwe Constitution into law at State House this afternoon, according to Newsday.

Our theme for Round 17 of the Free Zimbabwe Global Campaign is "Let's Finish It", for obvious reasons.

For the past sixteen months we have endured all kinds of weather in various places of the world as change agents seeking one thing and one thing only - the emancipation of Zimbabwe from tyranny.

It is comforting to know that the end of our struggle is imminent with the impending elections, but we cannot let our guard down, not at this last moment!

Zanu PF has made it abundantly clear that it will do whatever it takes to rig the elections:
They have flatly refused to honor the GPA reforms that will lead to free, fair and indisputable elections.

They have launched an attack on the voter registration process targeting MDC-T supporters, denying them access to register, and in some cases deleting their names from the voters' roll.

They have launched their usual campaign of terror using the partisan army and police force to harass, intimidate and threaten our people.

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai had to go on a mercy trip around Africa last month to seek the continents' help in salvaging the little normalcy that our people have experienced in the past four years of the GNU existence.

Ultimately, the desire for freedom lies solely in the hands of its people. We have to show the world how much we want freedom; freedom to pursue our dreams like other citizens of the world, free from persecution, censorship, oppression, and any other form of human degradation that we have endured in the past 33 years.

All Zimbabweans, lets to come out this Saturday at the Zimbabwe Embassies from noon onwards to celebrate New Constitution AND demand free and fair elections

While an open and inclusive voter registration process is central to a credible electoral process, the so-called Mobile Voter registration exercise that was run by the registrar-general from 29 April to 19 May, has been found by electoral stakeholders, including Parliament, the churches, cabinet and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to be inadequate, chaotic and slow, and it to have failed to capture all those interested in registering as voters.

Local civil society organisations concurred and observed that there was inadequate information, publicity and voter education and that the process excluded key  stakeholders such as the church and civil society which were not accredited to compliment the Electoral Commission in providing voter education, as had become traditional since the 1980s.

MDC President Morgan Tsvangirai also told supporters at Zimbabwe Grounds on Sunday that the exercise needs to be redone. SADC's silence is deafening.
