A small group of five Gwanda activists this morning defied the police ban on all political activities to deliver a National Electoral Reform Agenda petition to ZEC offices in the town.
The group led by Gwanda activist Bekezela Maduma Fuzwayo and MDC-T Member of Parliament Nomathemba Ndlovu went past a riot police barricade guarding the ZEC offices to present the petition to the Provincial Electoral Officer.
According to sources who presented the matter to Bulawayo24 news the group which was meant to lead the demonstration in Gwanda was frustrated by the last minute cancellation of the demonstration and took the risk to drive to the ZEC offices and deliver the petition in full view of state security agents and anti riot police.
Amongst the group was disabled activist Kukhanya Mkandla who last week brewed a major storm by carrying out a one man demonstration marching through the town carrying a placard demanding Mugabe to go.
