Hoardes of Zimbabwe youths in Harare on Friday staged a  successful demonstration against the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission Chairperson Rita Makarau whom they accused of continuously rigging elections in favour of ZANU (PF).
The youths most of them from the National Youth Action Alliance started their protest from the town house (Leopold Takawira & Jason Moyo) and handed over their anti-Makarau petition at the ZEC offices near Net One building.
The placarded youths were later addressed by the MDC-T national executive member Job Wiwa Sikhala outside ZEC offices after they had thrown in their petitions through the gate which had been closed by the security details.
Some of the placards the demonstrators were holding read ‘We demand electronic voter’s roll”, ‘We are tired of Nikuv and ZEC rigging’, and ‘No elections before a truly independent ZEC’,
In his address Sikhala said the ZEC boss should step down forthwith.
“People of Zimbabwe have for a long time being robbed of their votes by Makarau who have been used to steal the elections by the ZANU (PF) regime.
“She has been used to deprive people of their democratic right to choose a government of their choice and today we have come here to demonstrate against that through petitioning her to resign .We need an impartial and independent ZEC chairperson .Makarau must resign now,” he said.
The crowd which was not this time disturbed by the police proceeded to the parliament of Zimbabwe where they also threw their petition.

    1. Makarau has NOT always been at ZEC so how can she be accused of “continuously” rigging elections in favour of ZPF??!! She was only there for the 2013 polls.
    2. if they “threw in” their petitions, it means hapana akaatambira, so they might as well have been contributing waste paper for throwing into the nearest dust bin!!
