Recent presidential elections in Zimbabwe have once again been encumbered by accusations of blatant and gigantic fraud. The official polls have declared Emmerson Mnangagwa the winner, making him president for another five years. This will be his second term in office... In 1980, Zimbabwe gained independence and changed its name from Rhodesia. Since that time, the ZANU-PF political party has kept a stranglehold on Zimbabwean politics. The party has remained in control for all 43 years of its independence and has had only two leaders—Robert Mugabe and Emmerson Mnangagwa.
