The geriatric ZANU PF leader Robert Matibili Mugabe has admitted that he rigged the June 2008 Presidential Run-off elections that pitted him and the opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai in the televised 21st February mundane interview, Zimbabwe Telegraph has confirmed.

Following the drubbing of Mugabe in the 29 March 2008 elections by Tsvangirai, he withheld the outcome of the presidential polls by more than a month to give time to the rigging machinery to doctor the figures to force a run-off.
Prior to the run-off, Mugabe stepped up political violence to cow Tsvangirai's legion of supporters into submission.
Tsvangirai eventually withdrew from the race in empathy with his supporters that had been a target of retribution by ZANU PF.
In the interview with ZBC's Tazzan Mandizvidza, Mugabe said, …Whatever happened in the June elections, I had a thunderous win.
Mugabe is on record as having vented his anger saying that Nyika haingatorwe nekaX (A mere vote cannot take the steam from ZANU PF).
Meanwhile political commentators have said that the elections that are coming in two years time should be handled under a new constitution and in full observance with the international community because Mugabe knows that on a level play field, ZANU PF cannot stand a chance.
High level sources in ZANU PF are saying that Mugabe who is in a dilemma at the moment is pinning his hopes for the candidature of the current defence minister Emmerson Mnangagwa his point man.
They said that by positioning Mnangagwa in the defence ministry, he is also protecting himself from the echoes of retribution from the opposition party.
Have you realised that there is no deputy minister in the defence ministry. ZANU PF has the lion's share of that critical ideological state apparatus and be assured MDC is now decapitated in the face of Jongwe, they said*
