Sources have claimed that there is a massive plan to rig all votes from the armed forces as they are suddenly being moved from their bases to deny them chance to vote.

The exercise is said to be on a massive scale, and currently there is seething anger among soldiers being moved. The rule is you can’t question your deployment but Zimbabwe’s men in uniform say they are not happy with the sudden twist in deployment meant to rob them of the right to vote. They say they are aware of the plans to rig their votes but can’t do anything about it.

“Things have changed from bad to worse. Tiri panguva yakaoma. Zvakapresa hama. Vanhu ava ndapererwa.

“It is now rigging at its best. All troops and sections have been affected. We are denied to vote. There is no free and fair elections in Zim at all. Hama pakaipa. Deployment maybe as from Monday,” said a soldier who is due to be moved on.

Movement of sections is due to start on Monday and ZimEye was told that the Chief Insp Wurayai, Ins Ncube of Charlie, and Spt Makosi are going to Mutare today to see the bases, a total of almost 10 bases where the soldiers are going to deployed.

It was said that sections that were meant to be deployed in Matebeleland North are no longer going to be deployed there but are now heading to Mutare, Manicaland. The affected sections are Delta and Charlie troop.

PST, HBT, Romeo and other sections are now heading to Matebeleland North for deployment.

Sources said there would be no vote at all for all Fairbridge support unit members.

The problem is most of the soldiers were registered to vote at bases where they were stationed or due to be stationed at the time of the polls.
