I reiterate my averments made in my responses to the applicant’s founding affidavit
with respect to the question of postal voting. No affidavits have been placed before
the court by voters alleging electoral malpractices or the erosion of the secrecy of
their vote. Further the issue has come up for determination before the High Court
and the prayer to nullify the postal vote was dismissed on the grounds that there
was no evidence placed before the court in the form of an affidavit by a police officer
or voter that had been the victim of electoral malpractices during postal voting. The
same situation arises in the present application. The same outcome should be
realised.
80. AD AFFIDAVIT BY OBERT MASARAURE
This is denied. I reiterate my averments made in response to the question of
disenfranchisement of civil servants as it arose in the applicant’s founding affidavit.
81. AD AFFIDAVIT BY JOSEPH MADZUDZO
This is denied. I refer to the affidavit by Mr. Munyaradzi Musonza in response.
82. AD AFFIDAVIT BY MACHOKA GIFT KONJANA
In respect of Chegutu West Constituency a data capture error occurred. The error is
admitted.
WHEREFORE the 23rd, 24th and 25th respondents pray for the dismissal of the application
with costs.
