Responding to journalists at the first press conference at the national command centre at Harare International Conference Centre on the just-ended plebiscite Makarau said:
“Reports coming in from most provinces have generally gone well though some polling stations are still winding up. In Bulawayo queues were short with few people coming to cast their votes. In Mashonaland East, most districts experienced long queues except for Mutoko districts. In Mash Central there were high numbers of people being assisted to vote and that is normal.”
She said according to Section 55 of the Electoral Act all people in the queues by the time of closure would be given the chance to vote.
“Even if it means getting to midnight to clear those in queues, we will do that,” said Makarau.
Speaking at the same occasion, ZEC deputy chairperson Joyce Kazembe added that more statistics would be reported tomorrow as most stations were beginning to count votes.
“We do not have any statistics at the moment, but we thought it would be important to give an update of the closure of elections. While we have received reports that there have been people who were voting using fake slips of voter registration, investigations are underway to find out what is really taking place and we would be telling you as we progress,” she said.

This woman is evil. She has helped in creating the unfairest election in the planet. However we want to see what will happen next. Eg will Obert Mpofu continue pocketing diamond money and will indegenization provide for 15 million Zimbabweans. wish you good luck maZimbabwe. But Mugabe needs to monitor his fellows and clean up the diamond sector because there is real risk of a mfia govt with various centres bassed on wealth grabbing. Good luck. Au revoir.
Her face says it all,Liar ,believe me Rita if mothers were chosen you would cease to be one because of you actions,the same for fake Catholic friend Joice ,iko kuzoda kumirizika muChurch paMabelreign.God will make you pay for this one day.
RITA MAKARAU, I feel very sorry for you because you resolved to sacrifice all your professional attributes in order to satisfy the wishes of thieves. It is a pity you did not have much choice but to conform since a gun was pointing at you. In addition, you had to protect your job and all the pecks that come with it – I mean the pecks provided by the thieves. You had to dance to their tune because as they say in Shona ‘Wakagota moto wembava’. SHAME ON YOU!
Yes Injustice Rita Makarau, the so called elections were ‘free and fair’ but your conscience, if you have any, will haunt you for life. One key evidence that the election was rigged is that Patrick Chinamasa, of all people honestly, won overwhelmingly this time around, after failing to, dismally, in 2002 and 2008. THINGS FALL APART!
