Biometric vote won't stop Zanu-PF rigging, says Mangoma

Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe president Elton Mangoma says the mooted biometric voting system will not stop Zanu-PF from rigging the elections and will be futile without addressing the fear factor among voters.

He said there must be wholesale reform of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission secretariat, said to be staffed with intelligence and military officials, before anyone gets excited about the envisaged voting system.
