By Own Correspondent| The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) website is down for the second time since the announcement of the election results amid indications that when the website went down on August 1 2018, it had been hacked.

Commissioner Qhubani Moyo told journalists on August 1 2018 that the ZEC website had been hacked hence the website was temporarily down.

“Hackers hacked us and they were posting things which had nothing to do with us and this is why the website is down,” Commissioner Moyo is on record telling journalists.

However, the reasons why the website is currently down could not be established.

The ZEC however posted on their web page the following message:

“We will be back soon. Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress.

Please check back soon. We apologise for any inconvenience.”
