Zanu PF should stop fooling residents
Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA)
July 29, 2011

Zanu PF is at it again. In Sunningdale 2, youths have begun a door to door house visit, demanding names of landlords, their I.D numbers and phone numbers. CHRA identified one of the youths as Ephraim but affectionately known in the Zanu PF District circles as Major Killer. Residents fear that they are creating a parallel voter's roll which they will use to coerce people to vote for Zanu PF in the up coming elections which are most likely to be held next year after the completion of the constitution making process. This week, youths embarked on a door to door visit, forcing residents to attend Zanu PF meetings and subsequently vote for the former ruling party in the event that an election date has been set. Residents have been forced to live in perpetual fear since these thugs have threatened to deal with those that defy their directive.

To that end, Combined Harare Residents Association would like to urge residents of Sunningdale 2 and all other areas affected by such uncouth political behavior not to cooperate with these thugs as they do not reserve the constitutional right of creating a parallel voter's roll neither do they have the mandate of augmenting services provided by the Registrar General. Elections are imminent but a bonafide voter registration process will surface where all residents will have a chance to register to vote in the up-coming elections. No one has got the right to collect personal information belonging to anyone unless instructed to do so by state authorities, hence we call upon Z.R.P in Sunningdale to be on guard against these desperate people who are afraid of losing a free and fair election. Meanwhile, CHRA urges all residents in Harare to go to their nearest Registrar General's office and confirm their details on the voters roll, if not registered; one should take their metal I.D (valid passport or metal driver's license) and proof of residence and get registered. We say NO to VIOLENCE and yes to a peaceful, free and fair election. CHRA remains committed to good local governance practiced on a non partisan basis.
