4 | Political parties have been pushing for a later date since last month when the Constitutional Court ordered Robert Mugabe to hold elections by July 31 following a successful application by Jealousy Mawarire, Director of the Centre for Elections and Democracy in Southern Africa (CEDSA). | Nisisika ireo antoko politika mba hanemorana io daty io nanomboka tamin'ny iray volana lasa izay, rehefa nandidy an'ny Filoha Robert Mugabe ny Fitsarana avo Momba ny Lalàm-panorenana mba hitazona ny datin'ireo fifidianana ny 31 Jolay araka ny fangatahana nataon'i Jealousy Mawarire, Talen'ny Ivotoeran'ny Fifidianana sy ny Demokrasia any Afrika Atsimo (CEDSA). |
5 | Five main opposition parties immediately protested the time-frame set by the court arguing that more time was needed to implement major electoral reforms to guarantee a free and fair election. | Antoko politika lehibe dimy no nanohitra avy hatrany ny daty hentitra napetraky ny fitsarana, ary nilaza fa ilàna fotoana maro ny fanomanana ireo fifidianana goavana tahaka izao, mba hahazoana antoka fa malalaka sy marina izany. |

9 | He argues that it is legally and constitutionally impossible to hold elections by July 31, 2013 without infringing his rights. | Milaza izy fa tsy mety, na araka ny lalàna na araka ny fitsarana, ny manao fifidianana alohan'ny 31 Jolay 2013, satria mandikà ireo zony izany. |

25 | Finally, Marko Phiri, blogging at Kubatana blog, asked, “Democracy, what democracy?”: | Farany, Marko Phiri, mpibilaogy ao amin'ny bilaogin'i Kubatana, dia nanontany hoe, “Demokrasia hoe, demokrasia inona?: |
26 | One certain thing about this latest declaration is that it entrenches apathetic attitudes to electoral processes as some say if Mugabe can unilaterally call for polls despite Tsvangirai's own earlier declaration that he holds the keys to elections, what is to stop him (Mugabe) from declaring himself a winner in the elections, or as he did in 2008 refuse to accept defeat. | Ny azo antoka momba io fanambaràna farany io dia, misy toe-tsaina tsy fivakisan-doha momba ny fizotry ny fifidianana ao, noho ny sasany milaza fa afaka mandidy samirery ny fifidianana i Mugabe na dia teo aza ny fanambaràn'i Tsvangirai teo aloha kely, milaza fa ananany ny lakilen'ny fifidianana, dia ny fanakanana azy (Mugabe) mba tsy hilaza ny tenany ho nandresy tamin'ny fifidianana, na tahaka ny nataony tamin'ny 2008 dia ny tsy fanekeny ny fahareseny. |
27 | Yet that should be motivation enough for Zimbabweans who have heeded the call to register and also check the voters roll to exercise their franchise to the fullest and show the power mongers who is in charge, or else attempting to kick Zanu PF in the butt will equate to just another fool's errand. | Kanefa, tokony ho ampy izay ho entin'ireo Zimbaboeana izay namaly ny antso mba hisoratra sy hanamarina ny lisi-pifidianana mba handraisany andraikitra feno ary hampisehoany amin'ireo mpanararaotra fahefàna hoe iza no tena mandidy, raha tsy izany dia hazakazak'adala ihany ny fandakàna an'i Zanu PF. |
28 | Look who's laughing now. | Jerenareo, iza izao no mihomehy. |
