Fadzayi Mahere: The 2023 elections are a turning point for Zimbabwe | The InnerView

A constitutional lawyer and the spokesperson for the main opposition, Fadzayi Mahere, says without a transparent electoral process, Zimbabwe will continue to struggle with political instability and economic hardship. Mahere speaks to Imran Garda on The InnerView about why she believes the government of Emmerson Mnangagwa has lost its credibility. She discusses the time she was arrested and convicted for a tweet and why she believes, despite an unfair playing field, Zimbabweans are on the verge of ousting the ruling ZANU-PF party for the first time in 43 years.
