Zimbabwean\u2019s President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been elected once again in the 2023 elections for a second term to run the country to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When will the rigging stop, the corruption? This simply means Zimbabwe\u2019s inflation rate will continue going up as it stands in July the prices had rocketed by 101.3% since the previous year, only 25% of Zimbabweans hold formal jobs. Emmerson Mnanagwa\u2019s human right record is appalling, he has silenced and clamped down on the opposition party CCC (collation for change) in the run up to the elections. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zanu- Pf have installed fear to the people of Zimbabwe and left them with no hope. Earlier this month members of CCC ( coalition for change) were arrested while campaigning in the capital city Harare, and to make matters worse Zanu-Pf supporters killed one of CCC backers. By the look of things in Zimbabwe if you are caught supporting the opposition party especially CCC ( Coalition for Change) you are either killed or arrested! So now tell me where is the democracy in Zimbabwe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth of the matter is Zimbabwe is being run by criminals, who  are lotting the system, have no regards for human rights, and put things in perspective Emmerson Mnangagwa has blood on his hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edrickedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A595B996-54CB-4052-A770-D766C32C9613.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134\" width=\"328\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edrickedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A595B996-54CB-4052-A770-D766C32C9613.jpeg 976w, https:\/\/edrickedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A595B996-54CB-4052-A770-D766C32C9613-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/edrickedwards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A595B996-54CB-4052-A770-D766C32C9613-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1980 Zimbabwe gained its independence.
