Staff Reporter| The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission is taking away urban constituencies and placing them in rural areas ahead of the water shed elections.

ZEC stands accused of rigging elections in favour of Zanu PF which has a strong base in rural areas.

One such urban constituency which ZEC has taken to the rural areas, is Harare” Mount Pleasant constituency.

In a statement condemning the rigging tactics by ZEC, on Saturday, Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition said the electorate should be aware of vote rigging which ZEC had already started.
“In a surprising move that has left many baffled by the recently completed Zimbabwe Election Commission delimitation exercise, Mount Pleasant now falls under Mazowe South, a rural constituency serviced by Mazowe Rural District.

“The move defies logic for an urban constituency that is serviced by Harare City Council. In previous years analysts have argued that the Zimbabwe Election Commission works in carhorts with the ruling ZANU PF to dilute the urban vote which is a stronghold of the opposition in Zimbabwe,” said Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition.

  1. The reporter forgot to highlight that recently Grace was said to be very interested in the Mount Pleasant constituancy. I don’t know how far this Mazoe South is from her Farm. Let her contest and I am sure she will loose. Believe me, Chatunga won’t vote for her

  2. What is wrong with these Makarau’s? You are a Lawyer and a Judge for God’s sake. Do the right thing for your country. You are a Zimbabwean citizen by birth.Show everyone that you love your country. As Zimbabweans we really love this country and want to see it succeed.Zimbabwe will never come out of this terrible situation when the most learned people are corrupt and crooked. Leave a legacy of being a game changer in this filthy stinking environment.Think about it!!!!!!!
