The previous voter-registration exercise carried out by the Registrar General (RG)’s office last month was criticized from all quarters.

Now we hear that another exercise has already been launched, without any statement as to how the irregularities identified in the last exercise have been rectified.

The issues that were raised were many, but the overriding factor was that  the RG’s office was accused of impeding supporters of other parties than Zanu (PF) from registering, while making every effort to ensure that Zanu (PF) supporters were registered.

Now Dumiso Dabengwa has added more pressure on Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) chairperson, Justice Rita Makarau who will have to do some heavy lifting to pull off a successful election.

Sydney Sekeramayi, the Zanu (PF) National Secretary for Security has said the late deputy director of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), Elias Kanengoni, was unanimously declared a national hero, by the Zanu (PF) Politburo.

But that was not until Zanu (PF) had found the perfect excuse to bury the bad news quickly; that there is already going to be a burial for Jevan Maseko at Heroes Acre, so let's also bury Kanenoni on Monday so that party officials can get back to business.

Sekeramayi said Kanengoni left a legacy of patriotism that future generations should emulate and that he completed all his assignments with distinction.
