27 The final charge of pre-election violence and intimidation was also dismissed. What little evidence that was led by the petitioner to this effect, did not personally implicate the respondent or his agent. Testimony that the respondent’s vehicle was involved in acts of intimidation was unsubstantiated. The petitioner claimed to have noted the registration number of this vehicle, but never brought this information to the attention of the court, even when it was requested. The petitioner relied on the fact that he and his campaign team were excluded from commercial farming areas, where war veterans or farmers had refused them entry. Neither potential voters on these farms, nor farm owners, were brought to court to testify that there was violence or intimidation on commercial farms, or to verify that farms were no-go areas for MDC supporters. Furthermore, because Chinhoyi is largely an urban constituency and no evidence showed that violence and intimidation occurred in urban areas, Garwe concluded that violence did not permeate the community to the degree that could reasonably affect the result of the election in Chinhoyi constituency.
