"Defending A Vote" Is A Threat To Peace - Mangwana

"Defending A Vote" Is A Threat To Peace - Mangwana

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Ministry permanent secretary Ndavaningi “Nick” Mangwana says a call by the opposition for supporters to “defend the vote” is a threat to peace.

Supporters of Zimbabwe’s main opposition party, CCC, have reportedly been urging citizens not to go home after casting their ballots but to remain at polling stations until ballots are counted and results posted to guard against possible rigging.

Mangwana has, however, condemned the call to defend the votes saying it is a threat to peace. Posting on social media site X, Mangwana said:

There is nothing called, “DEFENDING A VOTE”. That’s a threat to peace. After voting people should just go home and wait for the announcement of the results.

Imagine a polling station with 2000 voters from different parties all milling around after voting now waiting to “defend their vote”! That’s a potentially explosive scenario.

For the sake of peace, after voting just go home, to work to your business or whatever else that gives you a livelihood.

Responding to Mangwana, a CCC supporter, one Skilled Rebhara said there is no law against waiting for the results. He said:

… why should they go home. There is no law against waiting for the results. You have done star rallies with over 200 000 supporters with no violence 2000 is too little a number.

Renowned novelist Tsitsi Dangarembga wrote: “… So you don’t want the vote defended? Why? What do you want to do?”

Nyasha Gwata wrote:

Mr Mangwana you know that there is a 287% unemployment rate in Zimbabwe. So the businesses that you are saying people must go and take care of, where are they supposed to come from? It is not a crime to defend my vote as a voter.

Varidzi venyika ndivanani?...emancipate yourself from mental slavery. The attitude of entitlement sucks, Robert Mugabe died a depressed man when the reigns were forcibly taken away from him. He thought he owned Zimbabwe until reality met with him.

Yes it's there. Previous elections .. Zanu Pf did not win through rigging but via a technical Concourt decision that took advantage of missing v11 forms Simple arithmetic proved that Zanu Pf lost big time.

Only in Zim, defending your vote is a threat to life. Agents must be vigilant, sign the papers and post them outside for everyone to see

Elections are a constitutional requirement, everybody is aware that they can never be perfect even in developed countries, so we focus on a standard level of appreciation. Mind you, it's not a winner take all, it's just like sharing the cake...a win win situation. We have to vote with the view to win of course but the major concern is to block the harmful one party status. If we block that at least the opposition will remain with a voice.

You ****, results are posted NOT inside polling station, but OUTSIDE, where anybody can see them and take pictures. Wise up you imbecile

Defending the vote doesn't need a multitude, but an online camera to capture the v11s for tallying & trusted polling agents Parallel tabulation also works.

Ndipo pane Team Pachedu's Mandla ipapo. A-Mandla! Power to the People ☝️☝️☝️☝️
HURUNGWERE / HWERESHENDE · 1 year ago
@Zuze. Mandla is an excellent App. But yakanonokerwa. Mandla App yeTeam Pachedu has only been used by only 87K people so far. There are more than 6 million voters in Zimbabwe. Some voters don't support the CCC & Pachedu. Some voters are dead, while some are outside Zimbabwe. Do you think a grandmother will be able to use Mandla? Polling agents in rural areas will not be allowed to use phones inside the polling stations. So, of what use will your Mandla be? CCC does not even have the final voters roll. At law, only results that come officially from ZEC announcements will take precedence. Not results that come through Mandla. All that Mandla can do is gather less than half the information which will not be admissible in court. In areas like Uzumba & others there are no polling agents yet. Team Pachedu complained about the issue of inadequate polling Agents. Next time, Ambiguity & last minute launches should be avoided.

Nick Mangwana (the Nurse Aid) has a valid point. It is the job of polling agents, polling officials & police officers to safeguard polling stations, processes & results. It's very easy to disrupt voting yo the detriment of CCC in urbarn areas. All that's needed are AGENTS PROVOCATURES who are well trained & secretly armed to disrupt vote counting wherever Chamisa is likely to win. Such agents provacatures can pretend to be CCC supporters defending the vote. When it's counting time, the Agents Provocatures will just steal ballot boxes & V11 forms, destroy voter registers & burn the polling stations. ZANU PF will not be to blame. It will be CCC's fault for mobilising its supporters to defend the vote. MDC Alliance supporters tried it in 2018 and they got shot at point blank range & some of them died. Life is still going on. The person and the party for whom they died never visits their graves. And life is still going on. On election day. I will be defending my family. I will lock everyone inside our durawalled yard we'll braii some pork & beef until the madness is over. Ain't no politician ever came to my house to pay my bills.

@Huru... whatever, am I correct in assuming that by "provocatures" you meant to say PROVOCATEURS? Please DO NOT assassinate King Charles's language. Eish, chikoro chikaita chishoma ma1&2 chaiwo akarehwa nevakomana.

HURU, by polling officials and police officers do you mean the Zanu supporters who always masquerade as such when their specific job is to assist with rigging results on behalf of their party? If people choose to peacefully spend the night at the polling station why should that be of concern to ZANU? It is your right to do as you say after casting your vote.
