Transform Zimbabwe (TZ) President Jacob Ngarivhume has told his supporters to embrace the Bio-metric Voter Registration as it guards against voting fraud in the forthcoming elections.

“Transform Zimbabwe is a party born out of Christian faith and God will deliver victory for us. I want to tell you that ZANU PF has been rigging elections using dead voters in the old voters roll, but with the new BVR process , rigging is no longer possible, i encourage you to register and vote ZANU PF out of power.
