*ZANU PF Candidate Accused Of Intimidating Voters* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?zv Some residents of Chitungwiza’s Ward 7 in Zengeza East Constituency accuse ZANU PF’s candidate for the 7 May by-elections, Charamba Mlambo, of intimidating the electorate. Mlambo, a former councillor in the area, is allegedly moving from house to house marking people’s names on the voters’ roll. ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- When contacted for his comment by NewsDay, Mlambo said the complaints were being made by his political rivals. He said: > What is the allegation there? Every candidate was given a voters’ roll by ZEC [Zimbabwe Electoral Commission]. > The purpose was for us to know the people to target during our campaigns. It was also a way to do away with rigging allegations. > Some people are good at mobilising people who don’t vote and expect those numbers to translate into votes. So my rivals have the right to do the same. > Some are too lazy to go through the voters roll because it has about 3 400 people. It requires patience. > We are doing this in broad daylight and I wasn’t given the voters’ roll secretly. Meanwhile, CCC candidate, Lovemore Maiko, who is a former Chitungwiza mayor accused Mlambo of vote-buying. Said Maiko: > All the candidates have the voters’ roll. However, how others use it is against the spirit and letter of a free and fair election. > We have taken steps to fumigate our ward against such electoral malpractice. > I have heard from the grapevine that he is dishing out groceries. This has always been ZANU PF’s gimmick in every election. Chitungwiza Ward 7 fell vacant after the Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC-T recalled Maiko from the Council on 2 March. Bothwell Patsika is contesting the seat on an MDC Alliance ticket. *More: NewsDay* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
