BEYOND any reasonable doubt, the 2023 Zimbabwe elections are the worst since independence. Yet this plebiscite, in a strange way, leads us closer to a collective response to our shared governance problems. We must all be ashamed — the “winners” and “losers”. For that reason, I am hopeful. The “losers”, far from being just those whose names were on the ballot, is everyone who sought to achieve change.

Polling day is finally here. It’s a shambolic election; it’s a charade. It’s a disputed election. Showing lack of faith in the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) and the entire electoral process, everything has been litigated: delimitation report, voters’ roll, dates of election, nomination, nomination fees, statutory instruments gazetted for this election, accreditation of observers, printing of ballot papers – anything and everything. No doubt, the outcome will be litigated too.

COUNTDOWN TO AUGUST 23 OP-ED Zimbabwean elections are challenging to manage, yet their importance cannot be understated. Harmonised elections in 2008 showed how much a contentious election can lead to violence, deep-seated polarisation and unrest. Yet, as the country enters the final stages of the 2023 electoral cycle, history seems to be repeating itself.
