More than ourselves

You go to bed and wake up and find that Zanu PF have moved through your suburb. Their posters, in all different sizes, are Everywhere. They’re clearly out to make a splash while flashing their cash around. Why such a paper display of strength in urban areas this time round? Maybe to dispel notions of rigging they’ll have all these posters ‘prove’ that they campaigned hard so it makes sense that they racked up award winning votes. Meanwhile its a pretty sad sight seeing all these young Zimbabweans decked out in their bright new free election regalia vigorously putting up posters and handing out fliers. Get some cash today for doling out party propaganda and tomorrow you’re still jobless.
Nice.
Check out the hilarious brand new music video ‘Ballots In The Box’ by the Even Mo Lil Swaggery Boyz from our Zambezi News show. Released just in time for the Zimbabwe elections on 31st July, its a cheeky, fun take on voting.
Want to vote for a party that believes private property is fair game for their promotional political posters? Where’s the respect Zanu PF? Oh sorry, not sure you can even spell that word. I drove past a lot of houses this morning that had had their walls plastered with Zanu PF posters; sometimes gates to properties had been Zanu’d as well. So now … if you support Zanu PF, or the MDC and want their posters on your wall or gate, all well and good. But if you don’t, have the bollocks to remove them.
It’s your right.
