MDC-T leader PM Morgan Tsvangirai yesterday told top officials of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission that his party had unearthed a massive scam where Zanu-PF allegedly plotted to rig the forthcoming harmonised elections using State security agents and a hired Israeli intelligence organisation.
Tsvangirai also alleged that Section 56 (1) of the Electoral Amendment Act which prohibited double voting had been clandestinely deleted, a move he described as highly suspicious.
Briefing journalists after meeting ZEC chairperson Justice Rita Makarau at his Charter House offices in Harare, Tsvangirai through his spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka said Zanu-PF planned to register over 50 000 police officers as special voters to allow them to cast their ballot before the election date.
