If you have 10 minutes to spare today, I would recommend watching the Guardian’s film on vote-rigging in Zimbabwe.
An incredibly brave prison officer risked his life by secretly filming political prisoners in his place of work. During that process he managed to catch a Zanu PF war veteran forcing colleagues to vote for Mugabe in last week’s election.
Everyone knows it’s going on but until now it hasn’t been caught on camera.

As the Guardian puts it: “As he shot his clandestine film, Yuda was aware that it might never be seen in the outside world and that his reward could be nothing more lasting than an unmarked grave in the Zimbabwean bush. By the time he and his family were safely out of Zimbabwe yesterday, Yuda had a record of how the votes have been stolen and how those who have dared to oppose Mugabe fear daily for their lives.”

This is powerful, shocking investigative journalism at its very best and should be required viewing. This is going to win the paper – and Yuda – some big media awards, and rightly so. I really hope nothing untoward happens to he or any of his extended family as a result of this.
