tried to locate Vakira, but was not immediately available to assist with investigation. Case 20 On 1 August 2018, Chiheve, who contested for the opposition primary elections was intimidated at Zumba Township in Gokwe Kabuyuni Constituency Chireya Ward 5. Chiheve was accused by a group of ZANU PF supporters, whose names could not be immediately established, for disturbing their political party's dominance in the constituency. Chiheve was warned that he and his colleagues who supported the opposition in the 2018 Harmonized Elections deserve to be beheaded or banished in the community because they had spoiled the ruling parties' traditional control of the constituency. As this case was recorded, Chiheve and his colleagues had moved out of the community for fear of their lives. 7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following table summarizes the CCJPZ arising issues, conclusions and recommendations for the Zimbabwe's 2018 Harmonized Elections: No. Arising issue Conclusion Recommendation 1 Trust deficit in value of elections / democratic processes - Democratic value of elections among Zimbabwean men and women is in jeopardy - voter apathy likely to increase ahead - Relevance of elections to day to day lives of many Zimbabweans, especially the poor and the marginalised, is far fetched or nonexistent: what do [these] elections bring on the table? Or how do they eradicate poverty, bring medication in hospitals, better roads, employment or clean water? -Strengthening and enhancing legislation on horizontal and vertical accountability and responsiveness of elected leaders - Legislative and capacity strengthening of parliamentary portfolio committees and Auditor General to have more ―teethǁ to effectively demand accountability, better governance and responsiveness from duty holders - Transformative civic reflection and learning experiences for voters on constitutional rights / responsibilities and social teachings of the Church to demand accountability and fulfilment of election promises by elected official 2. AIPPA and POSA as inhibiting, colonial laws that are not relevant in a democratic context - Zimbabwe can flourish and operate well without AIPPA and POSA. - AIPPA and POSA contradict the freedoms given by the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 20) Act 2013 - and the principles of Association and Participation which the Church promotes. - Repealing POSA and AIPPA, or at least, aligning them to the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 20) Act 2013 3. ZEC's Multi-party / stakeholder liaison and engagement process There is power in dialogue, inclusivity and responsiveness. Dialogue builds trust, co-existence and mutual understanding: ―Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a sister/ brotherǁ (2 Thes. 3:15) Dialogues and engagements between ZEC and political parties, CSOs and FBOs should continue and become more commonplace without ―anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouthǁ (Colossians 3:8). 45
