This text message just came in from WOZA:

WOZA members from Chitungwiza amongst those wishing to attend COPAC consultation. All turned away by officials who told them they had not been given sufficient money to conduct the consultation.

Meanwhile, Veritas reports that the Chitungwiza outreach, which was scheduled to begin today, has been postponed indefinitely:

The Outreach to Harare Metropolitan Province (Chitungwiza) scheduled for June 23rd to 30th and that for Bulawayo over those dates have been cancelled and will now take place after July 12th, with dates still to fixed.  Two reasons have been cited – first, that town people will be too preoccupied with the World Cup to attend to constitution-making, and secondly, that there have been threats of organised disruptions.

World Cup, no money, or threats of violence? . . . Any way you look at it Constitution making seems low on Zimbabweans’ list of priorities right now.
