By-elections hit by low voter turnout

Voter apathy has once again reared its ugly head in by-elections held on Saturday with few people casting their ballots in an election won by Zanu PF candidates.

In Mt Pleasant, Zanu PF candidate George Mashavave defeated Independent candidates Naison Mamutse and Brian Ticky.

Mashavave polled 3 205 votes with Mamuse and Ticky garnering 945 and 220 votes, respectively.
