Residents of Mt Pleasant Heights threaten to sue Zec after being moved to Mazowe South Constituency

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has been given 7 days to register residents of Mount Pleasant Heights in the correct constituency. This follows the “illegal” transfer of the residents to Mazowe South Constituency.

The Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights who are representing some of the residents wrote to Zec saying:

We, hereby, notify you to regularise the delimitation of Mt Pleasant constituency and ensure that residents of Mt Pleasant Heights are registered in the correct constituency.

…We are of the view that should Mt Pleasant Heights be delimited to fall under Mazowe South, this is in clear violation of section 161(4), (5)(b), (6)(a) and (b) of the Constitution as certain considerations must be heeded in delimiting wards and constituencies.
