To protest against the withdrawal by the Zimbabwe government of their right to vote, Zimbabweans living in SA will be able participate in a mock election by sending the name of the party they favour through SMSs, reports AllAfrica.com (via Textually.)

Daniel Molokele, who is running the cellphone voting campaign on behalf of the non-governmental organisation Crisis in Zimbabwe, said yesterday South Africans could show their support by sending an SMS with the word “solidarity”.

The initiative was part of a campaign by Zimbabwean exile groups and their South African supporters to protest against the Zimbabwe government in the run-up to the country’s parliamentary polls this month.”
