Vice President Constantino Chiwenga called on Zimbabweans to shame cynics by conducting free and fair elections.

Chiwenga said this while addressing a Mandava Stadium crowd in Zvishavane. This was during the official handover of the stadium to Zvishavane Town Council by Mimosa Mines. Chiwenga said, “Now as we go for those elections, first they must be peaceful, they must be held in a peaceful environment so we can achieve fairness so that no one cries foul.

“The ballot should do the talking, people should choose their leaders. Zimbabwe has come of age and we are not a violent people.

“If we conduct the elections in a free environment, we will shame those who think we are a violent country.”
