Amid opposition of the out come of the recent elections held in Mozambique, the election observers from southern African states declared Mozambique's general elections generally "free, fair, and credible" on Friday, South African foreign minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane told a news conference.
Regional grouping SADC gave the positive assessment of the
presidential and legislative elections held on Wednesday as the main
opposition party Renamo denounced alleged fraud and intimidation at the
polls in the former Portuguese colony.
The question is - are African elections ever free and fair? If so, on what criteria can we base this judgement?
