Zimbabwean NCA files an application to stop upcoming referendum


The National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) in Zimbabwe has filed an application at the country's High Court seeking an extension of the referendum date which is set for 16 March. The pressure group said in a statement on Monday 18th March 2013 that Zimbabweans would need at least two months, and not 30 days, to conduct civic education to analyse the draft charter so that they can make informed decisions on what they will be voting for. The NCA accuses ZANU PF and the two MDC formations of fast tracking the process, as a ploy to deny Zimbabweans a chance to "scrutinize the flawed and undemocratic draft which they authored."
