As Zimbabwe awaited the disputed Voters Roll on Monday night, ZimEye revealed in this article that the long document already contains a string of duplicated names varied only by a sophisticated alteration of names, ID and other descriptive details. The massive duplicated entries are found in areas that are clearly ZANU PF strongholds which are largely in Mashonaland rural areas. In this article ZimEye reveals how a carefully constructed programming SQL script was run on the voters roll to make a linear duplication and subtle alteration of digit and name details on the voters roll which favours only one political party. Many of the duplicated entries are in places such as Mt Darwin, Sanyati, Kwekwe, Mutare, and Rushinga which are ZANU PF strongholds. Sample Analysis of the live Voters Roll “We have uncovered massive fraud that gives people the right to cast multiple votes sometimes three, four, to six times through a sophisticated plethora of duplicated ID and address details per person cast over thousands of individuals in a clearly systematic way,” Mguni told ZimEye on Monday morning. However a further analysis by ZimEye has revealed the computed figures of distortions actually rise to 2.3million duplicate voters which is close to half of the entire voters’ roll. ZimEye attached a short analysis sample compiled by ZAPU. What varies at other sections in the tables are single digits or letters for the ID number, and at others, just a single alpha-letter difference for a physical address with everything remaining exactly the same with the name and date of birth remaining intact. When confronted on Friday, ZEC’s Deputy Chairperson Mrs Joyce Kazembe said the commission was investigating the allegations. “We are trying to establish these concerns and we are already looking into it. Zec has already met with the African Union on our preparedness,” she said. Kazembe said it would be premature to make a statement on whether a new voter registration exercise would be conducted when just a few days remained to elections without verifying the allegations. “As I have said, these are not facts but allegations,” she said. ZAPU’s President Dumiso Dabengwa, has since issued the below statement following the find: “After successfully challenging the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission with court action into publishing, and making available to the general public the Voter’s Roll, ZAPU got the ZEC to allow us to purchase the said Voter’s Roll as at May 2013. We then set-out to analyse the said Voter’s Roll. Here is our abridged and rather incomplete analysis of the Roll: (refer to the attached) The first comment I have to make is that the previous list contained 317 000 odd entries. The current list we interrogated now has 40 000. To us as ZAPU, the two lists raise a lot of suspicion and call for an investigation. The fundamental point is that without a completely new voter’s registration and a completely new voter’s roll, it is pointless having elections in our country. If ZAPU had the resources, it would certainly take these matters to the Constitutional Court to draw attention to what we have long been saying, that there is a serious flaw in the voter’s roll and the result of these elections can never be considered as free and fair. We wonder why other Parties involved in these elections do not take this issue as serious. Our ZAPU Vice President presented this concern to the OAU Chairperson earlier today.” 6 Comments on "Zimbabwe: Shock as Massive Duplications Are Found In Voters’ Roll" Mai Joza on Mon, 29th Jul 2013 8:27 pm The will of the people will prevail under severely restrictive environment. Zanu pf has nothing to offer to people. It’s clear in their campaign speeches. It cannot present policies, programmes and plans that drive Zimbabwe forward. They have just resorted on negative campaign and attacking the person of President Tsvangirai and the MDC at the expense of policies and reforms that will make Zimbabwe a better place. MDC is crystal clear in its policies and plan in government. There is a distinctive narrative of Zanu pf performance in government and MDC performance in government. The record for MDC in government is for all to see, managed to reduced inflation, increase mobile penetration, internet penetration, electricity supply, student textbook ration in schools and revived the health sector. MDC worked so hard to transform this country. If MDC could do this much in a short space of time it has been in the inclusive government, what more can it do when given a fresh mandate from the people of Zimbabwe? Yes, under God’s guidance, Together we can achieve more. Greyhora on Mon, 29th Jul 2013 8:32 pm This is shameful!! Zanu PF dogs, if you really believe people want you, then why clone voters on the voters roll? Why can’t you prove your worth by noble means? Is that y you prejudiced 2 million young voters, so you could replace with your clones? Rita, the whole country, continent and world is watching, that voters roll is a shambles no wonder you want to release it at 5 minutes to 12. Rubbish!!! Dzimai Moto on Mon, 29th Jul 2013 8:46 pm I don’t know what lawyers call “fact”. The duplication has been exposed. It explains why the whole thing was rushed, somebody didn’t want others to scrutinise the voters roll. Its a shame. This is the work of Israeli guys who programe the voters roll in such a way that the voters are double the population. Its not adding up. robert mugabe on Mon, 29th Jul 2013 8:58 pm Kazembe will answer for this Shaka on Mon, 29th Jul 2013 9:31 pm God help us all. tose tirivanhu on Mon, 29th Jul 2013 10:41 pm zviri kuitwa ne zpf via telecel zveku tumira ma campaign sms hazvisizvo zvakarambidzwa econet kuita here?just got one in my telecel inbox
