– Which politicians would say no to a hug? Mugabe can not fuss to the president, he will simply make a choice between different candidates, as citizens. If he says he's voting for me, it's not an alliance, but I'll accept each person's voice
DN meets the opposition party Nelson Chamisa , leader of the MDC, at the law firm of the 11th floor in a skyscraper at Africa Unity Square in the capital, Harare, minutes after leaving the last mass meeting of the election campaign. More than 50,000 red opposition voters, probably many more, have rallied for a final power test against the ruling Zanu PF party, whose campaign finale was not far from the US. national arena.
Chamisa's bodyguards ask how many people came to Zanu PF's meeting to listen to President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The DN says that they are not half as many and that they laugh at ease and look to the windows to watch the sun fly to the horizon in a pond that seems to have been overwhelmed by meeting participants
On Monday, 5.6 million Zimbabweans voting will appoint a new president to an election that is not similar to that of the United Nations. “/>
Borta is the leader of the iconic opposition Morgan Tsvangirai, who after several years of fighting cancer left in February this year.
Borta is Robert Mugabe, who in November last year was sucked into coup form by his former vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The square under the Chamisa office a law firm, was filled on the night of November by tens of thousands of people who, with tears and laughter, were celebrating the day. exodus of the despot from the presidential palace. Mnangagwa and Army Chief Constantino Chiwenga were also honored as heroes of euphoric opposition supporters who were grateful for wrapping their shoulders. Then came back.
– The celebration did not concern a change of personality. It was a celebration of the opportunity to write a new chapter, the possibility of a new policy. But unfortunately, the last seven months have shown that it was a ride. Mr. Mnangagwa has shown that nothing has changed, he has just extended the rule of which he was a member under 37, said Chamisa.
At the polls, he said that he was the next president of Zimbabwe, there is no chance that he will not win the elections.
If it's just the same chart as before, what do you say you'll succeed where your rep repeatedly bet?
– First of all, I am not Morgan Tsvangirai. I am Nelson Chamisa. Our people have learned a lot. We know the dark corners we avoid. We have become more technical in our strategy, we have focused more on rural voters and we have moved to the left to relate to the revolutionary past in our country.
The only 40-year-old candidate throws in a fast staccato expedition on what must be fixed in the decadence and isolation of Zimbabwe. The first on the agenda is a smaller and more efficient government. He wants to significantly reduce the number of ministers and delegate power to the provinces. Power must be removed from the executive presidency, which became so strong during the 37th year of Mugabe's rule.
Subsequently, investments in infrastructure and the creation of jobs wait.
In terms of roads and jobs Chamisa is jealous of his opponent, the new president Emmerson Mnangagwa. The family name is a heavy writer even for Zimbabwe and it is known under its initials "ED" as well as "Ngwena", which means crocodile in the Shona language. The nickname comes from his time as a guerrilla soldier during the war of freedom, but has been over the years, in part because the animal has gone from symbolizing his military list to a political list.
Mnangagwa is still a favorite in the elections. He has the power and he has the money that has funded giant campaign councils, covering entire buildings and free t-shirts and hats to potential voters.
But he had hoped to attract opponents by relying on popularity As of November, his own authoritarian tone has been l? ;opposite effect. Rumors of massive electoral fraud have been circulating in Zimbabwe for months, and its own government party, Zanu PF, is still divided after the struggles of leaders in recent years have resulted in Mugabe's withdrawal. A number of politicians have retired or started their own movements. And Mugabe himself has shown that he can still play the game.
On Sunday morning, Mugabe strikes a wide variety of international and local media in his own palace "Blue Roof," named 39, after his blue checkered roof, which, according to Mugabe, was laid by "Yugoslav" craftsmen. The roof is leaking, he says, and he can not afford to fix it. He has consulted pension administration about the benefits to which he is entitled and has stated that his pension is modest.
– Four hundred … Grace, how much did it represent?
– $ 460,000, says Zimbabwean deserted Grace's wife backstage.
– Right. Said Robert Mugabe.
The meeting takes place under a cement pagoda in front of a daylight dam. The entire plant is Asian-style, the palace is a tight but chic Chinese castle built in the 1990s. Nothing resembles Zimbabwe's historic elections, the first one where Robert Mugabe's name is not about the rules rolling. “/>
After Mugabe's resignation, Mnangagwa swore as president. He lacks democratic legitimacy for his power and wants to win the confidence of voters in the battle against Nelson Chamisa, a 40-year-old lawyer who has taken control of Morgan Tsvangirai, a recently deceased opposition politician.
