On August 22nd of this year, Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe was sworn into office for another five-year term as President,
extending his 33-year-long leadership, despite widespread allegations
of vote-rigging. While allegations went previously unproven, new leaked
documents are suggesting China had a hand in rigging the July 31st
elections.
According to documents obtained by The Zimbabwean,
a weekly publication for Zimbabweans in exile, ahead of the vote and
knowing the election was in jeopardy, Mugabe’s political party, the
Zimbabwe African National Union- Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) decided to do
something about it. It then held a meeting with the Joint Operations
Command, which included members from the Chinese Communist Party and
Nikuv International Projects, a private technology project company from
Israel, to assist the party Registrar General’s office in manipulating
votes.
“Director Mr. Chung Huwao, Chinese Communist Party, will lead a
parallel registration and mobilization structure in systematic sync with
NIKUV International projects and Registrar General’s office to minimize
neutralise [sic] hostile votes in urban areas counter populating,
under-registration (age band 18-15) [sic. Should read 18-35] and over
registration (age bands 35-90),” the documented minutes of the joint
meeting, held at the Manyame Air Force Base on June 13, 2013, read.
