Incompetent liar and Zanu-PF activist Mudede must not handle elections - Zapu

Zapu's national secretary of legal and special affairs has alleged that Registrar General Tobaiwa Mudede is an "incompetent liar and a Zanu-PF activist" who should not be part and parcel of any election process in Zimbabwe.

Addressing journalists at Bulawayo Press Club on Friday evening on "Voter Secrecy in Zimbabwe" Zapu's national secretary for legal and special affairs, Steven Nkiwane said Mudede and his office should be booted out of the voter registration process.

"Mudede is liar, who is also incompetent, his office should be detached from doing voter registration in Zimbabwe, and he is also a Zanu-PF member. When we met him last year in Kadoma during the Constitutional Parliamentary Portfolio Committee (COPAC) outreach programme, he told us voter registration has began countrywide. But that is a lie because  right now ,if you visit any of his offices countrywide they will tell  you that  the voter registration process for next election has not started," said Nkiwane.

Dates for Zimbabwe's next elections are yet to be announced. But Zanu-PF says it wants the polls this year. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai says polls should be held only after full implementation of reforms agreed to under the Global Political Agreement (GPA).

The Movement for Democratic Change led by Professor Welshman Ncube says it is impossible to hold elections this year, indicating that the polls can only be held in 2013.
