In a by-election held on 11 October 2004, the ZANU–PF candidate Walter Mzembi was elected unopposed after the opposition Movement for Democratic Change did not put forth a candidate.[1] Mzembi was reelected in the 2005, 2008, and 2013 elections. In 2018, ZANU–PF's Claudious Maronge was elected to represent Masvingo South.
