On August 23 Zimbabweans head to the polls to choose from a dozen candidates vying to be the county’s next president. The main contest is between Zanu-PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa, who seeks a second term, and Nelson Chamisa of the new Citizens Coalition for Change.
The guests are pessimistic about what the elections hold. As the Brics summit approaches in South Africa next month, Mabhena said Zimbabwe must benefit from Brics programmes. Mandaza said “there can be no solution to the Zimbabwean crisis without South Africa”. He said South African leaders should be more informed about Zimbabwe.
