Verdict: partly true the claim by mahere that 26% of 15,1 million is 3,926,000 not 2,715,717 as you portray. your figure is wrong by over 1,2 million' has been rated as partly true. her figures  are based on mangwana and muswere's incorrect reading of the zimvac report. the statistics in the report quoted are specifically for the rural population and not the whole country. had these figures been correctly quoted mahere would be right in saying the government was off by over 1,2 million people. as it stands, the figure is almost 300,000 people more than when using the 2022 official census figures for the rural population.
