To: Justice Rita Makarau,
I hope I find you well. I have been frantically looking for you at the ZEC offices today but was told that I could not see you because you were busy. I was literally thrown out of your offices because they thought I was a crazy guy. This left me with no option but to write you a letter which I think you will have time to read. I hope by now you have mastered the skills to use the computer and internet since this technology was not available the time you went to school and when you started working. I hope that by chance you will open the Bulawayo24 website and read this letter.
Justice Makarau, I read from the Herald and other papers today (23rd of July 2013) and understand that members of the security force and civil servants who failed to vote a week ago will have the right to vote on the 31st of July. The Herald says, they will do so because it is their constitutional right. If these guys are dined the right to vote, the law would have been broken. Fair and fine Justice, but what about the thousands of people who failed to register to vote because of the inefficiency of the system? I thought these people are also Zimbabweans who have a constitutional right to vote and that right has to be respected. Surprisingly you have never said anything about the people who failed to register to vote. This includes the so called "aliens" who have been declared Zimbabweans under the new constitution.
Have a good day Justice Makarau. I hope the chaos which characterized the special voting period will not be witnessed next week. May I urge your office to ensure that by now all the voting material is ready to be dispatched to different polling centres from Zambezi to Limpopo and from Mutare to Plumtree. May you please avoid doing things the last minute or the last day. Do not allow certain political parties to remote control your office.
Waiting patiently for your reply Justice Rita Makarau
Yours sincerely
Mosimani Mudziwepasi
