City of Mutare Mayor's signature forged

A self imposed MDC T ward 17 Chairperson Mudzipurwa fakes Mutare Mayor's signature on proof of residence forms.

This comes out after ZEC workers who are on Biometric Voter Registration  saw a forged signature of the mayor on one of the proof of residence.

When the holder of the proof was asked where he got it and why not being given by the ward cancellor, he said,

"I was given it by Mudzipurwa who is the Chair of the ward and the aspiring candidate for councillor.

"Mudzipura advised us that John Nyamhoka who used to be the cancellor of ward 17 has been expelled from MDC and can not give proof of residence but the mayor, who is Tatenda Nhamarare."

Efforts to get information from both the ward 17 councillor John Nyamhoka and the City of Mutare mayor were fruitless as they were not  answering their phones at the time of publication.

However, an MDC T district member from ward 17 (name withheld ) when asked about the expulsion of ward 17 councillor John Nyamhoka he was very surprised.

"It is not true. People who are spreading that message are tarnishing the image of the party. It shows they are not real MDC T members but saboteurs.

"MDC T is United and if the so called aspiring  candidate is one of us, he should work hand in hand with the sitting councillor seeking advice.

"MDC is a democratic party. Every member has the right to vote and to be voted.

"The mayor who is behind all this should be ashamed and do the right thing. His behaviour is not called for and should be stopped."
