Zanu PF Brings New Tactics in Preparation for Elections

It does not come as a surprise to learn that Zanu PF is at it again, this time with  different tactics as Zimbabweans prepare for forth coming elections.  Mugabe and Zanu PF cronies are well known for using various ways like intimidating, harassing, beating, imprisonment and even murdering in the name of forcing people to vote for them. When I read from the media ,that Zanu PF is now targeting the Apostolic sect members commonly known as ( Mapostori ) by distributing residential stands to them,  it became clear  that Zanu PF will never run out of dirty tricks when ever  elections are coming. This is pure and clear vote buying by Zanu PF

Zanu PF is aware that the Apostolic sect has the largest number of followers and by distributing these stands and urging them to vote for them, they are sure that victory is in their hands.There is no harm in targeting people during campaigns, but it has to be done clearly, or even by telling the targeted group to vote wisely for Zanu PF because it’s the only one which can give residential stands. This shows how desperate Zanu PF has become especially when they make it clear that the MDC Councillors will never give out these stands.

Zimbabweans have gone to polls many times and I believe that by now every voter knows what’s best for them and the country as a whole. All these tactics used by Zanu PF are becoming old fashioned and will not help them win elections, because the people want democracy, freedom, and peace. Residential and Flea market stands will not make people vote for Zanu PF because they now know the Zanu PF tricks lies and empty promises. The people of Zimbabwe need change and that change can only be seen when people are left to make their choices during elections without some bribery going on. It’s high time now that Zanu PF must change their tactics and let the Zimbabweans cast their votes freely without any fear of what will happen to them if they don’t vote for Zanu PF.
