Team Pachedu Alleges Gazetted Delimitation Report Contains Hundred of Fake Coordinates

Team Pachedu alleges that the recently-gazetted Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) delimitation report contains hundreds of fake coordinates of polling stations, some located outside the country.

Team Pachedu stated that “We have found hundreds of Antarctica co-ordinates in the final delimitation report, ZEC falsified many co-ordinates in the report claiming they are from Zimbabwe, yet they are not."

"Chiredzi is also in the Indian Ocean. ZEC used fake co-ordinates located outside Zimbabwe’s UTM Zone 36S, but in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar,” Team Pachedu said.
