MDC-T blasts Mudarikwa for declaring Uzumba –Maramba a one-party constituency

The MDC is deeply concerned about the deteriorating political situation in most rural areas of Zimbabwe where villagers are being forced and commandeered to attend Zanu PF rallies and functions. Uzumba Maramba Pfungwe is an outpost of politically motivated violence and opposition political parties have always been threatened and harassed by Zanu PF thugs each time that they intend to hold rallies and other meetings in this particular district and also in the whole of Mashonaland East province.

This is the main reason why we are fervently advocating for the adoption of electoral reforms in time for the harmonized elections to be held in 2018. Zimbabwe is at the crossroads and the last thing that our battered and bruised nation needs is another disputed election next year. It is against this background that we call upon excitable and irresponsible politicians in the mould of one Simbaneuta Mudarikwa to tone down their language and behave like honourable Members of Parliament and not like some drunken and misguided political malcontents.
