A senior ZRP cop has been implicated in an alleged Zanu PF election rigging ploy in Buhera District.

Chief Inspector Taingofa Matimbe was nearly beaten up by angry ruling party supporters who accused him of conspiring with Oliver Mandipaka, a former police officer, to rig the Buhera West Primary election s.

Mandipaka is hoping to retain the Buhera West Parliamentary Seat.

“Matimbe was spotted by alert party members as he attempted to stuff ballot boxes with fake papers.

This did not go down well with party members who mobbed him demanding an explanation for his actions.

Matimbe was then rescued by fellow police officers as the angry mob pursued him,” Zanu PF sources in Buhera said yesterday.
