Makone admits ZANU-PF caught them off guard

Movement for Democratic Change women’s leader Theresa Makone today admitted that ZANU PF’s electoral victory caught them off guard and left them shocked. “It was quite a shock. I didn’t see it coming. The party didn’t expect such a result and it explains ZANU PF’s insistence to have polls on July 31st or else the plan would have unfolded if there had been delays. Any further delays like a month or two would have meant us getting the electronic voters roll, which would have allowed us to analyse and perhaps detected the gross anomalies,” Makone said.
