The ZESN board wishes to categorically refute false claims that it has called for an urgent meeting, at ZESN offices on the 23rd of August 2018 at 0900 hours.

ZESN advises stakeholders and the general public that contrary to the circular on social media, it has not called for a meeting on 23 August. The claims in the fictitious circular are malicious and bent on tarnishing the image of the National Director and the Network hence should be treated with the contempt it deserves.

On behalf of the board, ZESN Board Chairperson, Andrew. Makoni wishes to advise that the circulating notice issued through the press is fake and has neither been issued by the board nor “the board of trustees”.

In the discharge of its mandate, ZESN maintains independence, impartiality and objectivity as key values.

ZESN remains committed to promoting democratic electoral processes in Zimbabwe and is unmoved by the attacks on the integrity of the Network.

Official ZESN communication including statements, reports and updates are issued through the Network’s official media and communication channels. //Ends/
