Statement on the Deployment of 50 South
African Observers to the Zimbabwe Elections
The South African Observer Mission (SAOM) has deployed
50 of its observers in all the 10 provinces of Zimbabwe.
The SAOM and other observer missions were briefed by
the Electoral Supervisory Commission of Zimbabwe on
the state of voting preparedness on March 9 &10
as well as the counting process on March 11, 2002.
Given the briefing by the Electoral Supervisory Commission,
we hope that the polling on the set days will proceed
smoothly and in compliance with all the statutory requirements
and within a peaceful and enabling environment.
SAOM Observers will observe the process in no less
than 500 polling stations through out the country as
well as the counting process in a number of counting
centers.
We encourage and urge all Zimbabweans who are registered
and entitled to vote to come in their numbers and cast
their secret vote.
