'Corrupt Govt' Denied Muzorewa Birthday Certificate Before 2018 Polls

'Corrupt Govt' Denied Muzorewa Birthday Certificate Before 2018 Polls

Opposition United African National Council (UANC) leader, Gwinyai Muzorewa, revealed that he failed to contest in last year’s elections as a presidential candidate because he could not secure a birth certificate on time.

Muzorewa claimed that the Registrar-General’s office said that he had never been issued with one his entire life. In an interview with Newsday, Muzorewa had this to say:

My birth certificate issue has been a case of corruption, even at the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.

Any government has the Registrar’s Office, which issues and store all national records, including birth certificates. I have had all my national ID, passport, birth and so on.

Trusting that our government agencies are functioning normally, I wanted to collect my birth certificate only to be told that I had never had one.

I should have made a noise, but I am smarter than them. No one can convince me that the whole system is not corrupt.

I find it most reasonable to replace a corrupt government with one that is not. The MDC was in Parliament but did not make it a point to reform anomalies in the Constitution.
