MDC-T forces Mugabe govt to issue IDs for free

An official with the Movement for Democratic Change led by form prime minister of Zimbabwe has challenged all Zimbabweans to come out in numbers and register to vote.

MDC-T secretary general Douglas Mwonzora said due to their insistent pressure the government has been forced to agree to issue national identity cards and birth certificates for free.

"However this is for a period of 90 days. We urge all people especially the so called aliens to take advantage of this to get full documentation to enable them to register to vote. We also urge our people in Matabeleland who were especially affected by Gukurahundi to use this opportunity as well," he said.

"We are now in a battle to make sure that the attempts by the government to cheat in the BVR process are stopped. We thank all our people for their patience and support. This is the time to unite. Together we will win. Victory is Certain."
