Why is the world ignoring the sadc parliamentary forum's report on the Zimbabwe Presidential election? The forum is the body tasked by the sadc secretariat to set norms and standards. It sent a 54 person delegation to Zimbabwe, stayed for 4 weeks and roundly condemned both the process and the result. The sadc Ministerial Task-force was here for a shorter time, "observed" from their hotels and their main focus was presumably to pick up tips on how to stay in power.
