'New elections in Namibia: '
by Henning Melber
Summary:
Parliamentary and presidential elections take place in Namibia next week. A long

elections in Zimbabwe concludes that these should not have been considered free
and fair.
Leaders of other SADC countries such as Angola, Namibia and South Africa were
among the very first to whitewash the result that kept Mugabe in office and
congratulate him for his 'victory'.

voting during election day but also the general environment for parties to
campaign, is of utmost relevance to secure confidence and trust.
