The Wardman Wire

I’ve added Election web feeds to the Magazine Front Page of the Wardman Wire.

• One is the feed for the Returning Officer’s Blog at Henley.
• The other is the Zimbabwe Election feed for Sokwanele.

There is a bit of a contrast. Here are the headlines from each at present.

Wrapping Up

Let’s not forget that we went through this type of struggle over hundreds of years to develop and preserve a democratic system here, and continue to keep plugging away in support of the Zimbabwean people. And lets also not forget that our country denied them exactly these benefits for many decades - so it’s not just a matter of “helping those who are worse off”.
