Lowveld election news

 

Violence In Chiredzi Constituencies.
There are lots of reports now of ZANU PF youths beating up MDC supporters who are on their way to rallies and several cases of MDC supporters being targeted at night.
MDC and Makoni posters are now getting torn down, this all started on Tuesday the 25th indicating that youth have been shipped in from up country.

Electioneering contrast
MDC candidates are moving around in old bent and battered Mazda pick ups and our Chiredzi South candidate was traveling around on a donkey cart until his brother came from RSA with an old Datsun vehicle to assist him.
Where as ZANU PF candidates are moving around in SUV’s and brand new Nissans and Isuzu’s, some so new that they do not have No. plates on them, all with Mugabe’s posters stuck over them.

Free meat
A ranger (cannot be named) at Mabalahuta in GONA RE ZHOU our National park has admitted that they are shooting elephant and buffalo for ZANU PF rallies held in the Masvingo province, so there is no shortage of meat at their rallies.

Rigged already.
I have no doubt that ZANU PF have rigged this election already and to a greater extent than the 2005 Parliamentary elections. This is because they have no idea how much they have to rig it to win, it is obvious in the Lowveld that they have lost the support of the Urbin and the Rural people now.

Tuesday morning saw Chiredzi closed down and people being forced to go to Mugabe’s rally at the local stadium, where he was giving away ploughs. All the bigwigs who have stolen the cane farms away from the white farmers also forced all the workers on their farms to attend and had trucks moving them and people from the local communal areas to the rally to help build up the numbers, he Mugabe still only managed to draw about 5000 people, many did not want to be there.
