In Chimanimani
East ward 15, many people are struggling to register as voters
as they are failing to produce proof of residence which is a
requisite for voter registration. The potential voters are failing
to produce the proof of residence which is acquired from the
council office as the council is demanding two dollars from
each person for them to issue the proof of residence. People
are complaining that they cannot afford such an amount. Paradoxically,
ZANU PF members are being brought in by trucks and issued with
the proof of residence without paying any amount. |
