HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) – Zimbabweans are rallying for a national protest against the country's economic collapse and what the opposition calls the government's "cocktail of lies".

The administration of President Emmerson Mnangagwa is under increasing pressure one year after taking office, following the sacking of Robert Mugabe, a long-time leader. Tensions remain lively after the disputed July election that Mnangagwa narrowly won.

The Zimbabwean government is struggling to put in place a reliable currency while many citizens of this southern African country say they have not seen any progress on the promises of jobs, jobs, jobs ".

The capital, Harare, enjoys great security, opposition supporters singing anti-government songs.

The main opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, said this week that he was ready to talk with Mnangagwa, a longtime Mugabe enforcement official. The ruling party has said that Chamisa should accept Mnangagwa's victory before negotiations begin.
