Own Correspondent| Expert testimonials from a head counting software shows that MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa pulled a crowd of more than 1,000 people in less than a day’s planning, after many had been discouraged having been told the event was cancelled.

The event venue owners of the Pavenham Village Hall told ZimEye they announced to the public that the event was cancelled. “The function has been cancelled because we cannot hold the crowds, the property’s’s chairman told ZimEye via Phone on Saturday night.

MDC leaders then afterwards rushed around and managed to organise a new venue and the announcement was done in the space of just a few hours Saturday night.

As a result the numbers were not as expected.

But in the same chaos the MDC leader managed to pull a large crowd, the first ever Zimbabwe political crowd in more than 5 years in the UK

Commenting on the numbers, IT expert Mr Henry Chari said his head counting software estimates that more than 1,000 people attended.

Mr Chari said, “I did get some footage from UK rally by Nelson Chamisa. I ran then them through my software tool that I call Crowdeta 1.0, although the pictures were not of good quality I can say with about 95% confidence that at least 1000 people attended. Thats is a huge feat! MDC Zimbabwe.” SEE PICTURES:
