7 As regards freedom of movement, 72% of the constituencies sampled reported interference with either movement into or out of the constituency. This corresponds to frequent mentions in the press of ZanuPF supporters talking about creating “no-go” zones for the MDC. As is seen from Table 4 below, movement within constituencies was frequently interfered with, and many different groups were reported as responsible. It is noteworthy that the MDC are not mentioned at all, but also that the ZRP and the youth are as frequent offenders as ZanuPF supporters. Table 4. Interference with freedom of movement: travel within constituency. Interference with travel within constituency ZanuPF % of constituencies reporting. 33% MDC 0 ZRP 29% Youth 28% ZNA 3% CIO 2% As regards travel outside the constituency, again there are no mentions of the MDC interfering this way, but ZanuPF supporters, youth, the ZRP and the CIO are all mentioned as being involved in this irregularity. Table 5. Interference with freedom of movement: Travel out of constituency. Interference with travel out of constituency ZanuPF % of constituencies reporting. 21% MDC 0 ZRP 12% Youth 19% ZNA 4% CIO 11% Other 2% A frequent concern in Zimbabwean elections are reports that people are being moved into constituencies from outside, with the implications that these may be movements to increase voting or to bring in groups concerned with violence. This was only reported in 24% of the constituencies. More serious were the reports concerning interference with the freedom of expression. This was reported in 90% of the constituencies sampled, and, as is seen from Table 6 [see over], this was rarely reported to affect ZanuPF supporters, but was clearly the case for the MDC [63%] and civics [32%]. This is widely reported in the press and confirmed by numerous public opinion polls. Fears of expressing one’s political opinion in public do not correspond to the kind of electoral climate that is “free”, and such fears by ordinary citizens have been amply confirmed in the past and even the recent past by public opinion surveys.
