So who has really won the Mozambique election?
Frelimo had degenerated into some kind of quasi-criminal organization!!
A bank was thoroughly looted (UCB style) by Chissano's son together with some party goons. They tossed the MD of the Bank from the top of the fourteen-floor building. He hit the pavement below and his head split like a pumpkin.
But who is there to restrain Chissano's son? Some white courageous Mozambiquan journalist, Cordoso, tried to write about all the rote and criminality. He was shot by the security police, with hardly any disguise.
Chissano's son emerged as a key Southern Africa importer and trafficer of cocaine and other narcotics. Which criminal activity didn't they engage in?
And when elections were coming all involved in this killing, stealing etc... were shipped off to Canada where they are now cooling off before they return home to resume business.
It becomes hard to figure out who the worse villain against our people is: Alfonzo Dhlakama and his apartheid created Renamo or Chissano and the Frelimo criminal gang?!!
I wonder whether even 'integrity' is an applicable term in this election?

Mozambique election re-run call | ||||
In a BBC interview, the Renamo leader said he had evidence not just of irregularities, but of "massive fraud". The former rebel says he wants outgoing President Joaquim Chissano to stay in office until new polls can be held. International observers had warned that the delay in releasing results - blamed on weather and computer glitches - could raise suspicions. "I will ask President Chissano to stay for six months until we can sort this out," Mr Dhlakama told the BBC's Portuguese for Africa Service. Glitches International observers previously described the presidential and parliamentary polls as generally free and fair. Renamo representatives claim passwords to computers containing a database of results have been altered, allowing the manipulation of figures in favour of the ruling Frelimo.
The NEC has so far declined to release figures and has until the 17 December to announce the result.
Late on Wednesday, Renamo was reported to have withdrawn its observers from counting centres across Mozambique. The poll was plagued by poor turnout, with outgoing leader Joaquim Chissano saying more people would have voted if they had been paid to cast their ballot. Mr Chissano is stepping down after 18 years in power, with five candidates vying to replace him. Initial unofficial results suggest that Armando Guebuza, from Mr Chissano's Frelimo party is ahead. Mr Dhlakama is in second place. Maintaining peace Voters were also selecting members to the 250-seat National Assembly.
Mr Guebuza has been a government minister in charge of senior posts and is also reputed to be a wealthy businessman. His supporters see in him a leader who can be trusted to maintain policies that have brought stability and progress. Despite rapid economic growth in recent years, Mozambique remains one of the world poorest countries. Opponents of the government argue that it has failed to address these issues and that it has favoured the southern provinces where the ruling party's support has traditionally been the strongest. Five years ago, Mr Chissano won the poll by a margin of just four percentage points over Mr Dhlakama. | ||||
