Recent developments have shed light on the desperate measures being employed by Zanu PF in an attempt to boost their support base and secure victory in the upcoming 23 August plebiscite. It has been revealed that Zanu PF is resorting to busing individuals from as far as Bulawayo, which is located approximately 515 km away from Chipinge, to attend their rallies and events in a bid to create an illusion of widespread support.
Leaked internal communications from Zanu PF have surfaced, providing evidence of their orchestrated efforts to transport people from Bulawayo to Chipinge. The WhatsApp chat outlines detailed instructions on how individuals from Bulawayo province should be mobilized and transported to the target location. This revelation has raised serious questions about the authenticity and legitimacy of Zanu PF’s claimed support base.
The fact that Zanu PF is resorting to such measures indicates a lack of genuine grassroots support. Busing people from such a considerable distance highlights their desperation to create a semblance of popularity in areas where they may not have a strong foothold. This revelation challenges the notion that Zanu PF enjoys widespread public support and calls into question the integrity of their campaign efforts.
As the plebiscite approaches, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact public sentiment and the overall electoral landscape. The leaked communique serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency, accountability, and the need for genuine popular support in a democratic system.
