Like every other true Zimbabwean, I pay close attention to what is happening in the country. I always try to keep myself up to date with developments in our land of milk and honey. Even though some few individuals have decided to have all the milk and honey to themselves. The law of the jungle is now the order of the day in Zimbabwe. Survival of the fittest, survival of those who are brave or is it survival of the most corrupt. This week will probably one of the most defining periods in the history of Zimbabwe.
March 29 has been declared a public holiday to allow people to take part in one of the major events about to take place in Zimbabwe. The much awaited Presidential elections on the 29th of March. So who is the real deal whose has got the X-Factor? Tsvangirayi, Makoni or Mugabe?

Like many Zimbabwe economic refugees all over the world, the Internet is a major source of information.
Sometimes I visit forums and different news sites, but in most cases these sites either lean drastically to one side or the other and some people in these forums just verbally abuse each other. That’s why I don’t spend as much time in forums. I also try to have an open mind whenever I visit news sites. My favorite news sites are zwnews and news24.

But as election fever grips Zimbabwe. Uncertainty, confusion and fear of the unknown is the order of the day in Zimbabwe.
What is going to happen after the election? What are the chances for change? Because change seems to be what most people in the land of milk and honey are waiting for. The other day the army generals were saying they won’t salute either Tsvangirayi or Makoni? Which is why we have to ask this question, What if changes is on the way?

So what if change does not come? Tsvangirayi, Makoni and many other people in Zimbabwe fear elections will be rigged and they are not going to be free and fair.
So with the current state of the economy, it’s recovery seems to be directly linked to the outcome of the coming elections. Most people seem to be saying only a change of government will bring about economic recovery. How far true that is, it’s subject to debate.

But who is the real deal? Who has got the Z-Factor, Tsvangirayi, Makoni or Mugabe. The resurgent and rejuvenated Morgan Tsvangirayi who has had a lot of beatings over the years for his troubles. He has been fighting for the cause with the people for years now. Does he have what it takes to win the peoples votes?

Simba Makoni, the ‘new kid’ on the block. He commands a lot of respect, in Zimbabwe and internationally. But did he wait until late to join the race for state house? And again why join late? Why didn’t he express his intentions to run for presidency until the last minute? Does he have what it takes to win the peoples vote?

And the President, in power since independence in 1980. All those years in power, surely people have enough experience with him and his policies to be able to make an informed choice. They know his record, they have experienced how he has managed the economy. So, is the vote going to be the same like has been the case in the past elections?
