A blog maintained by Sokwanele, a Civic Action Support Group, from Zimbabwe is the blog that I chose to look at and analyse. The recent blog posts mainly discuss about the Zimbabwean election, where it was started with peace but now it has entered a critical situation. However, this is still an on going issue where it has taken the world’s eyes into Zimbabwe.
The blog has been maintained since March 2005, and continue to manage the blog with frequent postings over the years. The blog’s sidebar has links to other similar blogs from other African nations. It has its mission on the sidebar as well, which is a people’s movement that embraces pro-democratic society. Photos from Zimbabwe have also put in the blog’s sidebar.
The postings themselves have a clear language and with one focus each posting. However, most of the postings are really long, but it comes with great details of the event. For instance, the post on 8th of April 2008 titled “An eyewitness account of election in Zimbabwe” is written with details and sequence of what happened during the elections, it took the reader to witness the elections themselves. Sokwanele has also maintain communication with the reader with each postings has at least five comments. Sokwanele has also linked the posting to numerous international news media outlet, such as BBC News and SKY News.
