The RG’s officers, Maxwell Mutereri and Norman Maoko, who are known Zanu PF supporters are turning away those seeking to be registered voters.
The two government officials usually report for duty wearing Zanu PF regalia. Amos Shupikai Katerere and Farai Kabudura of Arufandika village, Ward 3 said they were denied a chance to become voters although they had all the required documents. The reason for denial that they were given was that they are MDC members. The MDC is in charge of Nyanga council and the two parliamentary constituencies in the area – Nyanga North and South.
Eusebia Duri, a teacher at Sheni Primary School in Mutare has been asked to report at Dangamvura Police Station on sham charges that she was seen distributing MDC pamphlets to school children in August ahead of an MDC Peace Rally at Sakubva Stadium.
Duri said it was ironic that she was being accused of distributing some MDC material to schoolchildren when the rally was done during school days. “Besides, I never did that, they are false accusations and I really don’t know the meaning of this,” said Duri.
The rally was held on 21 August and was attended by over 35 000. President Tsvangirai was the main speaker.
