WARD => CONSTITUENCY => PROVINCE => NATIONAL THE WARD COMMAND CENTRE: STRUCTURE Stationed in every ward command centre there will be: • Three police officers • One war vet who will be called the Chief Warden: the Chief Warden will be given a police uniform and a temporary force number • The Chief’s messenger: he will be chosen from the presiding chief’s neighbourhood watch force [this force normally patrols the community and can make citizens’ arrests and take people to the chief who will then decide whether the case will be referred up to the police or be dealt with himself under his traditional leadership powers]. THIS INDICATES THAT EVERY WARD WILL FALL UNDER THE CONTROL NOT JUST OF THE POLICE, BUT OF THE WAR VETS ASSOCIATION AND THE TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP STRUCTURES. There will be small radios in every polling station. At the Ward Command Centre there will be a bigger radio to transmit to the Constituency Centre. THE BRIEFING: ASST COMMISSIONER M The elections were completed but they may be rerun because the election was a fraud for the following reasons. 1. ZEC officials were bribed by the MDC to steal votes from R G Mugabe. ZEC officials have been arrested in several provinces. There will be a recount in 23 constituencies and there may be a recount of all Presidential votes. The presidential votes are now at the provincial centres and would be recounted there if necessary. [Sec 67A allows for a recount of Parliamentary votes but NOT presidential. Sec 110 which relates to Presidential election does not allow for a recount] 2. Postal ballots were not counted in some centres 3. Some ZANU PF agents were chased away from the counting centres and therefore did not observe the count. 4. Some ZANU PF voters were turned away from the voting 5. The V11 forms (those posted outside every polling station) were tampered with at the polling stations and figures were changed and falsified outside the polling stations. 6. MDC paid ZEC to frustrate ZANU PF voters 7. Illiterate voters were cheated and were forced to vote for MDC T. There is a need to build TEAMWORK : There should be total cooperation between ZRP, ZNA, war vets and the ZANU PF party members at the ward level to achieve the desired goal in a rerun. [THIS IMPLIES COMPLETE POLITICISATION OF ZRP AND ZNA, as they are now meant to cooperate fully with ZANU PF structures.] On run off day, the police should recall all people turned away, including their names, IDs and addresses. If the country is given away through the ballot, we will not hand over power, but rather go back to the bush and start another war. 57
