MDC-N dismisses Zanu PF claims

The MDC formation led by Welshman Ncube has dismissed as mischievous the stance adopted by Zanu PF that Zimbabweans in the Diaspora should not vote as long as sanctions are in place.

MDC-N national spokesman Nhlanhla Dube told NewsDay they were taken aback by remarks by Zanu PF secretary for legal affairs Emmerson Mnangagwa where he claimed Zimbabwean Diasporans could only be allowed to vote in national elections after the travel bans imposed on senior Zanu PF officials were removed.

Mnangagwa said the travel restrictions barred his party from reaching out to the Diaspora for campaign purposes.
