Any Zimbabwean living abroad is required to physically
present him or herself at their registered polling station to cast their vote.
In an interview, Cde Mujuru said there is a need for the
removal of sanctions which he said make the playing field uneven, favouring the
opposition should diaspora vote be allowed.
Besides, he said it is costly for operationalising the
diaspora vote since they are widely scattered across the world.
“Who will be footing the bill for all the resources and
logistics. It could exhaust budgets. It is not possible for diasporas to vote
in USA. The USA is just as big as Africa. If we are going to say let’s have a
vote in America for Zimbabweans in the diaspora you might have to make it
possible to have a constituency or a ballot box in every area where everyone
can access the ballot box easily,” said Cde Mujuru. Herald
