Operation Mavhoterapapi
Operation Mavhoterapapi (English: Operation Where You Put Your X or Who Did You Vote For), was a large-scale Zimbabwean government campaign to punish those who supposedly voted for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in the 2008 presidential election and intimidate them into supporting Robert Mugabe's ruling party, the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), in the subsequent runoff election. == Background == Following the end of the Rhodesian Civil War and the negotiated transition to Zimbabwean independence, Robert Mugabe was elected prime minister in the 1980 Southern Rhodesian general election.
