Introduction
Pelandaba-Tshabalala Constituency is one of the seven (7) Bulawayo constituencies that
were reconfigured and renamed following the 2022 Delimitation exercise. It borders with
Lobengula Magwegwe, Mpopoma-Mzilikazi, Bulawayo South, Nkulumane, Tsholotsho
South and Pumula. The CCC spokesperson Ostallos Gift Siziba was directly elected in the
August Harmonized Elections to represent the constituency. He served from 7 September
2023 when he was sworn in up to 7 November 2023 when he was said to have ‘ceased’
from being a member of the party, hence, on 14 November, the Speaker of Parliament
declared the constituency vacant. The President of Zimbabwe then proclaimed 3 February
2024 as By-Election date to directly elect a Member of Parliament for the constituency.
