Matobo and Insiza by-elections

On October 22 Matabeleland South villagers in Matobo District’s Ward 2 and Insiza’s Ward 4 head for by-elections to elect their respective councillors in political races pitting the ruling ZANU-PF, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) and ZAPU.

In Insiza ZANU-PF’s Daniel Dube will lock horns with CCC’s Augustine Gumede while in Matobo Fredrick Siwela of the ruling party will face Sindiso Ngwenya of CCC and Liberty Nyirongo of ZAPU.
