Tobaiwa Mudede is the Registrar-General of Zimbabwe for Robert Mugabe's government. Mudede has been accused by international human rights organizations of falsifying voting records to ensure Mugabe remains in power.[1] Mudede gained a reputation from foreign journalists as a key player in press censorship and a culpable member of the Mugabe regime for human rights violations.[2]
Tobaiwa Mudede has been in charge of all elections held in Zimbabwe since 1980. His critics charge him with manipulating the elections to favor President Mugabe and ZANU-PF, a charge he denies.[3]
Tobaiwa Mudede is related to writer and filmmaker Charles Mudede.[4]
