Zanu PF senior officials WEbster Shamu has ordered the village heads in Bikita West Ward 11 to ensure that villagers vote for a Zanu PF candidate in the elections being held today in the constituency.
The seat fell vacant after Zanu PF MP Munyaradzi Kereke got jailed for rape.
Heal Zimbabwe Trust reported that on 14 January 2017, Zanu PF called for a meeting at Guru polling station.
"Before the meeting, people had been told that they were supposed to check if their names were on the voters roll. When people arrived, they were shocked to find out that the meeting was a Zanu PF campaign rally. The meeting was addressed by Chegutu East Legislator, Webster Shamu," the trust.
"He ordered village heads who were present to ensure that people vote for Beauty Chabaya. Village heads who were present at the meeting include Ndambani, Guru, Mukumbirirwa, Chifire, Makoni, Mutindi and Mabhachi. The Village heads were also ordered to submit names of all people in their villages."
The trust said Shamu then produced a copy of the voters roll and started calling out names of people who appeared on the voters roll and gave them Zanu PF campaign t-shirts.
"Shamu also urged people to vote resoundingly for Chabaya and then announced that in the event that she loses, Zanu PF was well prepared to "deal" with anyone who would not have voted for Chabaya," said trust.
