Why They Hit A Commonwealth Re-admission Snag

Zim's so-called new leaders promised citizens a better life as they made a roar
But their hopes of piloting Zim back into the commonwealth suffered a blow
It was believed the latest elections were not credible, inclusive and peaceful
Talk of unfair incumbency privileges, acute bias of state media -- distasteful
Post-election violence resulted in fatalities of unarmed civilians
Not to mention the alleged intimidation of the citizens
All that delinquency coupled with illegitimacy
Has a bearing on investment and democracy
