Italy, earlier today. No allegations of vote rigging or foul play as far as I can see.

Any result now will be shrouded in uncertainty. They've gone and fucked up their first chance in a long time to do something right.

Surely some more stability in neighbouring Zimbabwe will be beneficial to South Africa though. I'm in no way saying that this is South Africa's responsibility to sort out, if anything it's the responsibility of the AU or even the UN. This looks like the golden opportunity to start to turn Zimbabwe's fortunes around. When you refer to 'them' fucking up their chance, do you mean Zimbabwe? It seems to me more like the AU/UN failing to back Zimbabwe up with any meaningful help at this critical time.
It's a bit like finally making a stand against the prick at school who bullies you, then finding that all your friends have just slinked off and left you to deal with it yourself - which is next to impossible.
