President to declare election dates after referendum

Harare Bureau

The draft constitution has waived timelines within which President Mugabe will call for the forthcoming elections and the actual holding of the plebiscite.

Copac co-chairpersons Cde Paul Mangwana (Zanu-PF) and Mr Douglas Mwonzora (MDC-T) said the new provision had been arrived at because they did not know when the constitution-making process was going to be completed. This means President Mugabe could immediately call for the polls anytime after the new constitution has been adopted.

Vice President Nkomo died last Thursday after a long battle with cancer.

People including politicians from across the political divide thronged his home in Worringham to bid him farewell.

A sombre atmosphere engulfed his residence, about 22 kilometres outside the city along the Bulawayo-Esigodini highway as mourners waited for the arrival of VP Nkomo’s body from his rural home in Tsholotsho.
