SADC has received a backlash from Zimbabweans on twitter after they declared Malawi elections free and fair. Malawian courts said the elections were rigged and they have subsequently nullified the elections and have ordered Malawi to hold fresh elections.
Twimbos have however expressed their displeasure at SADC which was quick to endorse the elections last year.
Twimbos were responding to SADC’s Dr Tax who had tweeted and tagged President Mnangagwa in her post:
In light of #Malawi Constitutional Court judgement on May 2019 elections, #SADC applauds the people of Malawi for having faith in the judiciary, & for respecting the rule of law. #SADC calls on all to remain calm, & for preparations for the #elections to commence @edmnangagwa
Twimbos responded:
Please don’t be involved again in Malawi leave them to do their elections their institutions are stronger than SADC. That @edmnangagwa you are tagging stole elections from @nelsonchamisa
What about your SADC election observer report that say elections were conducted fairly and professionally. That’s a total disgrace.
1. We applaud the people of Malawi. 2. We applaud their judiciary. 2. We applaud their security forces. 3. Shame on you SADC and your cronies.
You must be ashamed of yourself. You hurriedly endorsed this fraud and said MEC followed the electoral laws and the Constitution. Now without apologising, you want to appear you side with citizens while you are the defender of dictators in the region. Shame on @SADC_News & AU
You have no shame and you useless SADC. You create conflict in the region by endorsing sham elections. Right now this shld be egg on your faces. Its time you old people stop your nonsense and allow Africa a chance to move forward.
You are the face of regional incompetence .You &@TMFoundation_ have failed Zimbabweans & Malawians the most. Imagine how many millions are facing th brunt of a stolen/rigged election? These 2 countries have the highest number of economic & political refugees in the regionShame on you & the whole @SADC_News buffoons masquerading as leaders. Your homeboy Magufuli is busy suppressing dissent in Tanzania like Mnangagwa the election thief is doing in Zimbabwe
You’re a bloody disgrace to the people of Southern Africa, siding with tin pot dictators and subverting the will of the people to elect governments freely and fairly
No more EU, AU and SADC observers in our fresh elections.
You have failed us and will never trust you.
