AntiAfrohomobarometer

Johannesburg - Most Africans saw one-man rule as the greatest threat to democracy on the continent, an Afrobarometer survey released on Wednesday hasshown.

"Among the three forms of autocratic rule - one-man rule, military rule and one-party rule - one-man rule is the most rejected regime with its disapproval ratings rising significantly from 68 percent in 1999 to 78 percent in 2005," the report on the findings stated.

In the last eight years, there had been four controversial attempts to amend constitutions in favour of incumbent elected presidents, in Namibia, Zambia, Malawi and Nigeria.

Only Namibian president Sam Nujoma succeeded in his bid.

The bill which received first reading in the Senate yesterday prescribes a
compulsory five year imprisonment for violators of the proposed law and also invalidates any marriage license that may have procured by such individuals in
foreign countries where the practise is allowed...
