Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabweans living along the border with Mozambique are increasingly fearful due to the ongoing post-election violence in their neighbouring country, which has already resulted in dozens of deaths.<\/p>\n

Protests erupted in Mozambique following the general elections held on October 9, 2024, in which the ruling FRELIMO party, in power since Mozambique\u2019s independence from Portugal in 1975, claimed victory.<\/p>\n

Opposition leaders and their supporters, particularly in urban areas like Maputo, have taken to the streets, alleging that the elections were rigged.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF has been accused of playing a role in the alleged election manipulation, particularly after reports surfaced of hundreds of Zimbabweans registering to vote in Mozambique\u2019s elections. However, the ruling party has vehemently denied any involvement in election rigging.<\/p>\n

In Zimbabwe\u2019s Manicaland province, especially in areas like Nyanga, Honde Valley, Cashel Valley, and Mutare, residents are living in fear that violence could spill over the border.
\nMuchaenda Korera, a resident of Honde Valley, told NewsDay that people in the area are anxious, fearing they may be targeted if the unrest intensifies. He said:<\/p>\n

I witnessed the Mozambique civil war between FRELIMO and RENAMO from 1977 to 1992 and those of us who are staying near the border were affected as some of the villagers were killed and what is happening now is of great concern to us.<\/p>\n

Another villager in Chipinge said: \u201cWe have heard of the reports of violence in Mozambique and we are living in fear that we might be caught in the crossfire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Zimbabwe\u2019s Ambassador to Mozambique, Victor Matemadanda, advised Zimbabweans to remain indoors until the unrest in Mozambique subsides.<\/p>\n

In an interview with NewsDay, ZANU PF\u2019s Manicaland chairperson, Tawanda Mukodza, said Zimbabwe maintains strong and friendly relations with Mozambique, despite the ongoing tensions. Said Mukodza:<\/p>\n

We do not think things will go out of control under the leadership of Southern African Development Community chairperson Emmerson Mnangagwa. Yes, we share the same border with Mozambique but we are safe.<\/p>\n

South Africa temporarily closed its border with Mozambique last week as post-election violence in the neighbouring country escalated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe is set to host an Extraordinary Summit of SADC Heads of State and Government in Harare.<\/p>\n

The summit, running from November 16 to 20, will focus on the recent general elections in Mozambique and Botswana, as well as the ongoing situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n
