Don’t always trust social media

THIS letter is directed to the international community. On July 30, Zimbabweans voted and chose their leaders. These people will lead Zimbabwe for the next five years.

People were given the opportunity to freely vote for the individuals they wanted.

The election was conducted in a manner that everyone who was present, including foreign observers, concluded that everything had beendoneproperly.Onepoliticalpartywasnot happy with the results and they tried to express theirviewbyviolentmeans,somethingthatthe securityservicesdealtwith,albeitinunfortunate circumstances that led to loss of life.

After that failed, this political party tried to take their case to the court and at the end, they lost as the Presidential results were upheld.

During this whole period, these people were busypeddlingliesonsocialmediacitinghuman right abuses by security services.

The international community panicked but whattheyshouldunderstandisthatthesefalsehoods have not been substantiated.
