National_in-the-news-NATIONAL-Local_stripFormer Prime Minister and MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai has spoken further concerning his ‘exclusive’ vote rigging dossier of the just ended elections saying that ZANU PF utilised the army to both stash and control the voting process beginning chiefly with Manicaland.
Mr Tsvangirai said that ZEC chairperson Judge Rita Makarau cannot be blamed for many things such as printing of ballot papers and the distortions in the voters’ roll.
In a highly gripping oration, Tsvangirai spoke to his UK leaders on Saturday explaining why the MDC failed to win the just ended election which loss he also blames on the Chinese Communist party.
He said the blame for the printing of fake ballot papers could not be laid on the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission but rather on the army and (CIO) Central Intelligence Organisation.
“Not even ZEC could control those ballot papers,” he said.
He added:
“There were three million extra ballot papers put in the system especially in Manicalanad, in Matebeleland and in Masvingo where the MDC has very substantial representation,” he said.
 
Even Makarau Did Not Have Voters’ Roll
On voter registration records, Tsvangirai added that the army was in control and “even Makarau did did not have access to the electronic voters’ roll. Even the voters roll itself right up to the end even the chairperson of ZEC did not have access to the electronic voters’ roll one day before the election; Even right up to the end.”
“The other area was the question of the youth militia. The Chinese Communist party trained 35,000 youth militia who were deployed in various military bases, I can give you the figures but in Inkomo there so many youths. In Bharabhara there were so many youths and this there were so many youths. What was the purpose of the youth militia was actually to mark extra ballots, to stuff them and to move those youths around the country.
“The other area was the question of traditional leaders. Traditional leaders were used to frog march people in their various villages. By saying this village is going to vote from time to that time, the next village is going to vote from this time to that time. And the role of traditional leaders was very effective on the ground to undermine the people.
“The other issue was the question of assisted voters. I know in Muzarabani there were 10,500 assisted voters in a voting population of 17,000. Even teachers and headmasters claimed ignorance about voting. When it comes to the question of the deployment of military leaders we now are aware that each province had a commanding officer and that at every voting station, every registration centre there was either a CIO, a ZANU PF activist and all. Now lets look to ZEC itself. ZEC was not an independent body.
“The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission did not control anything because everything was controlled by the military and by the CIO.
“Right (now) as I speak the ZEC does not know the total number of the people who voted. That was the basis of our electoral challenge. We withdrew it because they would not give us the full details of those people who voted and the outcome of the voted.”
The MDC leader added that this was clearly not an election but a mere act.
“This was not an election and anyone who will tell that this was an election is actually misrepresenting the truth. This was Mugabe and his military commanders that they were not going to give up power. Because they knew. They knew that on the ground if people were allowed to vote, the outcome was going to be an overwhelming victory for MDC,” said Mr. Tsvangirai.

  1. @Jongwe – point taken, but there can never be any strengthening of Leadership as long as Tsvangirai is at the helm, this needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. I do not understand how he thinks logically, he backtracks at every corner, wherever there is an opportunity to do so. Surely this is no leadership quality. His personality or rather personal life is in shambles, this says a lot about an individual and the decisions he makes on a daily basis.
    The Man now claims prophecy on the subject of vote rigging, we do not want a superstitious lunatic running the affairs of Zimbabwe, such nonsense eventually filters down to the population. Some one who aspires to hold the highest office in the land must be credible with less baggage. Tsvanigirai will definitely be an albatross on all Zimbabwean’s necks.

  2. Breaking news,MDC T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai has admitted for the first time that MDC T members are calling for his ouster in the wake of succesive defeats,Mr Tsvangirai revealed this in an interview with the BBC last week while in in London where he featured at a sideshow organised to counter the visit by the Antwerp World Diamond Council delegation to Zimbabwe. Individuals have their own individual opinions,There is no division in the MDC , there are individuals with opinions about my leadership. Yes but you do not express those kind of opinions through the press.You go the organs of the party, kikikiki, what does this tell you about your stupid president, Greybeetle, Chatungasihlama lezinye izinja?

  3. What Mr Tsvangirai needs to know with all due respect is that zimbabweans are not looking for someone who can beat President Mugabe or win more votes than Mugabe for anyone can do it even a donkey as jonathan moyo once put it.what zimbabweans need is someone who can stop and reverse the rigging that’s been happening all this time.so complaining about how mugabe rigged only proves that u failed your assignment coz we want a leader who can fully expose and reverse any form of rigging sir.

  4. Everybody knows the elections were rigged full time and that this was not the first time Zanu did it and will definitely not be the last. What people want to know is why it was so easy for Zanu to remain in power after losing elections in 2008 big time and still manage to rig the 2013 elections with such impunity. Mr Tsvangirai must explain how he failed to stop this since he was also in government when the elections were conducted. People need to know what makes him think he will be able to outwit Mugabe this time. Positive action is needed in order to keep the voters on your side starting by unifying all the opposition and strengthening the leadership.

  5. Move on Tsvangson, this is old news, we heard it all before. You sound like a broken record.
    We lack good leadership in Zimbabwe, perhaps not lacking but coming forward. Tsvangson’s existence in the political arena is a mere coincidence. I am not sure I will sleep well at night knowing I have cast my vote for this man. ZPF is equally the same. We need young blood to push this country forward, the likes of Chamisa.

  6. MR MORGAN YOU ARE A CRY BABY..WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE ARMY AND CIO WERE DOING ALL THESE.ELECTION IS NOT ABOUT HISTORY OR BLUFFING ITS ABOUT WINNING….MORGAN YOU ARE JUST FOOLING YOURSELF.YOU THINK YOU WILL RULE ZIMBABWE WHILELISTS COMRADES WILL BE STARING AT YOU…..GO TO BUHERA AND LOOK AFTER BABA TSVANGIRAI’S CATTLE

  7. This dossier will show that education is very important.35,000 youth were trained how will you prove this????Assisted voters how will he prove that????.Telling uneducated people this will be popular but that does not matter end of day. ZEC will not support his statements. Its just a waste of time but iam sure the MDC fools will be very happy with it.MDC should come up with policies.

  8. Zanu pf needs mass toyi toyi to kick start a revolution. Blogger dont be intimidated by that sick kangaroo ZVENHARO NEPFUTI. Viva jobs, sound health care and no to diamond looting. Rise Zimbabwe rise

  9. This happened. What MDC-T should have done was to boycott the elections but we the people did not want we did not know the extend of the rigging so we thought we had it in the bag. Look the country is still in shock and ZanuPf has no iorta of an idea of what to do except to keep printing blue prints. Zuma says don’;t think like an African and Mugabe says don’t think like a European, but we all know eruopeans are principled and disciplined in the way they run their affairs but Afroca is not.

  10. It is very easy to defeat someone,but very hard to win someone.
    Never play with the feelings of others because you may win the game but the risk is that you will surely loose the person for a lifetime

  11. The GNU made a big error to entrust zanu pf with critical logistics such as printing ballots papers. Makarau was just a puppet. She can never confess that she conducted a successful election.

  12. Zanu PF has been rigging since MDC came into play. what has Tsvangirayi done to stop it? My point is nomatter what excuses he may use, he has failed and should accept that and resign. Even if Makarau was involved, was MDC expecting Rita to announce an MDC victory? naive!

  13. Tsvangirai has this year convinced me that he is just no bidy. He speaks but makes no sense and contradicts self and his part. He should just quit leadership and allow someone with good brains take over. He will continue crying and telling lies to sympth. Instead he should he start working on the next assignment ” how to win the next election”. He lost the vote and he knows. His behaviour is simillar to a bereaved mother or father who will blame wich craft when their died of ‘AIDS’. Get real Morgan, uri kunyadzisa rudzi.

  14. I hate someone who’s good at explaining, 5years of preparing this past harmonized election and you didn’t see that coming ?, how can you lead pipo without focus, you speak the same in 2008, you come at chibuku stadium chitungwiza and harare sports stadium and spoke the same, “this time will defend our votes” when it did happen the said rigged votes, you withdrew the case, you need to lean from Mr mugabe, when he says something he sticks to it. No homosexual is no Homosexual, whitefamers step out is step out, he did worn us of murambatsvina and we thought maybe him will woke up one day changes like you but him never does, “he steaks to his words.”

  15. I can sense most of you did not vote in this election, I did. What the electoral process says and what was done are different.
    ZEC did not release names of all polling stations. Some were created on the day.
    Ballots were stuffed in those new polling stations which noone knew of. On discovery, you would have noted that more the 1,500 people would have cast their vote by 10am. On the ground we sent reports, but could not do anything as there were ZEC officials running the so called new stations.
    This was done in mainly new areas and resettlement areas. In harare they did in in Mbare, Hopley and Harare North new stands. Ku Mbare the opened a staton within 200m of another, no people seems to have used it but it submited 1,800 votes. And all these were oddly ZANU PF and a few spoiled votes.
    Some of our farmers lost their crop when they were called to Marondera for this training exercise. They were responsible for the vote marking.
    Pakabiwa big time, I wonder how they feel in real terms.

  16. Nhai Mr More-loss Richardino, are you not the one who was saying ” I have the keys to the elections…” Was that another tsvang-lie (tsvang(shn)-search (englsh)). Why blame the army and the CIOs when you had the keys? Why didn’t you just lock or unlock your victory according to your wishes?. You are not just faming yourself for globtroting lies (Tsvang-lying, but also for being a stupid, brainless loud-mouth ex ZCTU president,ex-husband, ex PM, and very soon to be Ex-something. You are in the ‘Ex’ fast lane and everything that you touch is bound to wind up into an ‘ex’. If you are allowed to touch the helm of leadership of ZImbabwe, you will soon turn the country into an “ex” something. Tsvanglying piece of marcaroni

  17. Be intelligent Mr Morgan Tsvangirai…where you standing the time the Army stashing the ballot boxes?? you are a clear stupid and a big lier…you failed your Party MDC-T…do not blame the Army….Zimbabweans are smart people,they won’t Vote for sell-out movement that will take back the Country back to the former colonisers…ZIMBABWE will never be a colony again…to you stupid Morgan Tsvangirai…you were sleeping with all women where you go all-ver the world…zip..zip..some as little as your grand children ..respect first so that the masses can vote you…………

  18. So all MDC-T polling agents should be behind bars by now. Why did they append their signatures on polling station returns if the process was that fraudulent. And with such clear evidence why then did you withdraw the court challenge where that evidence was to be given under oath. You seem to be finding joy in lying to the world to remain relevant.
    Lets move forward as a nation. Those who want to rule this country wait for 2018 please. We cant be in election mood foever and develop as a nation.

  19. For all those who have the misguided belief that Zimbabwe is Egypt, then you need to restart from Grade 1 and re-do your geography and history studies afresh. For those desperate for violence please get the next plane and go to either Egypt, Lybia. Somalia, DRC, Iraq, Afghanstan, Cyria and many other such places. There you will enjoy all the violence you need. But when you have had enough, yopu can the return to our peaciful Zimbabwe and enjoy. The people you are calling upon to come and join you, are too busy working in their fieldsor aquiring more diplomas and degrees. The rest are busy with their businesses and they will not hane time to entertain idle brains. Be assured, the 2013 election is behind us now and the next election will be in 2018. Nothing will change this reallity. For those who will not take heed of this friendly calling then your fate is known. It guaranteed to.

  20. These thories will be here with us for ever and ever. What shoulod be explained by this unthinking former Prime Minister is how how the stashed votes ended up in the counting process. Before now, balot boxes ued to be closed and sealed after the voting process had been concluded. The boxes would then be transported to the designated counting points. The argument then was that boxes were being then stashed at point C when they being transported from poit A to B. But now, with the input from the MDC ballots are now counted at the poit where the voting took place. In the presence of the polling agents of the contesting parties after the verification process of the ballot papers. The various polling agents will then be required to sing the relevant documents to confirm the validity of the whole process. This includes the opening of ballot boxes before the start of the voting process. So, at what point do these votes from the imaginery army and mi equally imaginery millitia mix with the genuine ballots? How do the polling agents fail to pick it up only to be picked up by Tsvangirai ater a visit to London? Isx it while he was there, in London that he got the script that he is now reading? Why did he not take this evidence to court when he chose the easey way out by withdrawing his case? Serious thinking Zimbabweans will never be gragged into this wild goose chase by people desperate to secure their next meal after loosing it all while they were in government.
