More than 10,000 people, many clad in bright yellow, gathered for a climactic show of support for Zimbabwean opposition leader Nelson Chamisa. This is ahead of tense general elections. According to the AFP News Agency, the southern African country goes to the polls tomorrow for presidential and legislative elections, with Chamisa, 45, vying to defeat hardline 80-year-old head of state Emmerson Mnangagwa. The vote, taking place against a backdrop of discontent at Zimbabwe’s economic crisis, is being closely watched as a barometer of popularity for the ZANU-PF party, in power since independence 43 years ago.
