Cash shortages threaten voter registration exercise

Zimbabwe's forthcoming elections are on the ropes, with reports that cash shortages are threatening a key voter registration exercise which has become the subject of fresh wrangling.

Apart from the cash woes announced by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission yesterday, the MDC-T on the same day tabled a motion in Parliament to force a fresh start to mobile voter registration.

The MP, Settlement Chikwinya also wants Finance minister Tendai Biti to be forced to release adequate money for voter registration.
