Felix Magalela Sibanda, MP for Magwegwe, yesterday castigated the Registrar General's office for frustrating, intimidating and chasing away potential voters who seek to register to vote in the city.
Speaking during a meeting organised in Magwegwe to evaluate the voter registration trends during the constitutional referendum and to come up with proper ways and assistance for people who have not registered to vote.
"We are disappointed with the voter registration officials who are frustrating our people so that they fail, to register votes. We urge our members to demand this right and ensure that as many people as possible register to cast their ballot," Sibanda said.
Sibanda also said after the referendum his party members are likely to be complacent and smart on the glory of the 'yes vote' at the expense of the next election.
"We thank you for voting Yes in the referendum but do not forget the Brand- President Morgan Tsvangirai," Sibanda said.
There are allegations that at the Tredgold building registration has been reserved for the army, police force and members of Zanu-PF bussed from Umguza by Obert Mpofu the Minister of Mines and Mining Development.
In other registration centers officials have adopted a go slow strategy which has only caused people to turn back and go to their homes.
