>The hatred that is being planted in the Zanzibar politics is growing by the day. Not only by Zanzibaris themselves and between them, but now the Mainlanders are also taking part and very dangerously so.

The race has begun and it is surely going to be the tightest this country has ever seen on its political terrain spanning nearly six decades and with already four competitive elections.

Early this week a group of hooded vigilantes masquerading in day light invaded a private radio station – Coconut FM – located in Zanzibar Town in an excuse of defending a government minister over a debate that was carried by the radio.

We are now in the third month of the political crisis in Zanzibar. Talks are going at the Zanzibar State House looking for solution and we are told to be patient and things are going to come out for the interest of Zanzibaris.

It is now three weeks since Zanzibaris went to the polls. The elections were meant to put in place in a new government. But, that is yet to happen and by each passing day, hope keeps fading. To say the least, it is as if the electorate have been cheated.
