22.3. Further, I attach hereto marked Annexure ‘Q’ extracts from reports by various election observer missions, namely ECF SADC observer mission; COMESA observer mission; SADC PF observer mission, African Union observer mission; SADC observer mission and the NORDIC observer mission, which have the general conclusion that the electoral environment leading up to and during voting in the 2018 general elections, was peaceful. The full reports are contained in a compact disc attached hereto as Annexure ‘Q1’. I also attach the statement I made at the 2018 peace pledge hereto marked Annexure ‘R’. 22.4. The allegation that the Electoral Commission took no action to address instances of politically motivated violence is, therefore, not correct. 23. Ad Para 4.5.36 No issues. 24. Ad Para 4.5.37 This is denied. The Electoral Commission does not have evidence of the systematic distribution of inputs geared at inducement to vote for a particular political party or candidate and none appears to have been proffered by the applicant in his papers. 25. Ad Para 4.5.38- 4.5.39 This is denied.
