Miriam Mandava from Masvingo is uncertain whether she will make it to vote as she lost her passport last week en route to Johannesburg. “I crossed the Musina border using my passport but when l arrived home it was nowhere to be found,” she said. Mandava is appealing to anyone who has seen it to call her no +27 (0)84 4526 771. Her passport no is BN 65 1741 and she was born in 1962-12-21. “I’m one of those who is determined to go home and play a part in a new Zimbabwe by casting their votes back home,” she said.
The Zimbabwean spoke to a Zim Consulate official in Joburg , identified only as Stephen, who said any Zimbabwean who has lost their passport must come and apply at their offices where a new passport costs R250 and takes only a month.
