Zimbabwean News You Can Trust

Former Zanu PF youth commissar and opposition Front for Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe (FEEZ) leader, Godfrey Tsenengamu has said opposition political parties in Zimbabwe are weak to hold Zanu PF “accountable” if it rigs the crunch 2023 general elections.

His remarks comes after the main opposition party, CCC has placed the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) under close scrutiny to avoid disputed elections this year.

Addressing journalists in Harare on Monday Tsenengamu said political parties will not question the ruling party because they are afraid of death. He added that if he had people’s support like advocate Nelson Chamisa, he would have stopped Zanu PF.

He said, ” if elections are held there will not be any single person who will defend the vote. All those who say they will defend the vote, they will be lying to you. No one will defend the vote because people are afraid of being arrested and being killed so Zanu PF can rig elections and we all make noise on social media and it ends there.

“We will then start to say in 2028 hazvikoni and it will end there, so l am making a passionate appeal to my brothers and sisters all over that it’s high time we put our heads together. Inini hangue l tell you if l had just 10% of what my other comrades have in Harare, l would have stopped this nonsense.”

Tsenengamu also urged Zimbabweans to work with him in order to express their grievances on the recently aired Aljazeera documentary.

“Those who are genuine and sincere, we must at least show something to the authorities regarding the looting that is going on some of us are available.

“It cannot continue to be business as usual because lm telling you lithium ikubuda, Gold rikubuda and diamond rikubuda so todii.

” Those who share the same sentiment with me please get in touch so that we can make solid demands and produce results out of Aljazeera documentary,” said disgruntled Tsenengamu.

In 2018 the MDC Alliance then led by Nelson Chamisa filed a legal challenge citing catalogue of alleged vote rigging, incorrect counting and fake polling stations as well as instances at voting centres where there were more ballots cast than registered.

Following the MDC bid to seek justice, Zimbabwe constitutional Court unanimously dismissed the verdict and President Emmerson Mnangagwa won the election with 50.8 percent of the vote which were enough to pass the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff against Chamisa, who had finished second with 44.3 percent.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe will hold general elections between July 26 and August 26 on a date to be announced by President Emmerson Mnangagwa this year.
