Apostolic members can’t vote

Some Johanne Marange apostolic sect members have said they were turned away from voter registration centres in Marange, which will deprive them of their the right to vote in the election.

The concerned members told The Zimbabwean that only selected church members belonging to Zanu (PF) were registered, while those perceived to be MDC-T supporters were turned away.

“I have tried to register as a voter but I could not be registered with my four wives and eight of my children who are eligible to vote. We do not know what to do,” said a church member, Isaiah Murimi.

Another member who requested anonymity said: “This is a clear political move. Why is it that those who are in the leadership of the church and known supporters of Zanu (PF) were registered while those perceived to be MDC-T supporters were turned away? That means the exercise was not fair.” Joice Munamati, the Manicaland Provincial Registrar, blamed the lack of resources.

“There were not enough resources. We might have a situation where a man comes with his 15 wives and 40 children wanting to register. In some cases we set aside two or three days at a particular centre so it was difficult to attend to them all.”
