PWDs bemoan electoral exclusion

BY SILISIWE MABALEKA
PEOPLE living with disabilities (PWDs) have complained over lack of access to election materials and facilities which meet their needs from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec).

However, Zec spokesperson Jasper Mangwana said the electoral management body was facing financial challenges to meet all the needs of PWDs.

“Although the commission would like every citizen to partake in the country’s electoral activities, it is difficult to cater for all people with different types of disabilities owing to limited financial resources,” Mangwana told NewsDay
Weekender.
