Mugabe's govt already planning to rig 2018 vote - opposition claims

Zimbabwe's opposition parties under the banner National Electoral Reforms Agenda (Nera) have accused the ruling Zanu-PF government of having started "a process of rigging the upcoming 2018 elections".

According to New Zimbabwe, the chairperson of the opposition collective Didymus Mutasa said that the ban on protests in the southern country was proof that the government was panicking and would eventually rig the elections.
