Reform Zim election body

It is insane for Zimbabwean citizens and the world at large to believe that the current team of Zimbabwe Electoral Commission ( ZEC) responsible for managing and conducting elections is free and independent from the ruling ZANU PF political party.

Over the last two decades, the elections were rigged and manipulated in favour of the ruling ZANU PF political party. Is there anything fundamental that has changed which will convince us that the system is no longer subjected to rigging and manipulation? It is crystal clear that ZEC is not transparent yet we should trust them with management of votes. ZEC is illegally tampering with electoral borders by allocating urban voters distant polling stations in the wrong wards and constituencies at a large scale. The world at large should put pressure on chaotic and corrupt President Emmerson Mnangagwa and demand free and fair elections. If the elections in 2022 are not free and are rigged, the main loser will be the currently overwhelmed Zimbabwean migrants countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia. These countries whose resources have been overstretched by Zimbabwean migrants should energetically persuade President Emmerson Mnangagwa to hold free and fair elections otherwise reception of unending Zimbabwean migrants will continue forever.
