Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) \u2014 Zimbabwe\u2019s main opposition leader accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa of violating the law and tearing apart independent institutions to cling to power.<\/p>\nIn an interview with The Associated Press, Nelson Chamisa also warned that any evidence of tampering by Mnangagwa\u2019s ruling party in upcoming elections could lead to \u201ctotal disaster\u201d for a beleaguered nation that is in economic ruin and already under United States and European Union sanctions for its human rights record.<\/p>\n
Chamisa, who will challenge Mnangagwa and the ruling ZANU-PF party\u2019s 43-year hold on power in the Aug. 23 presidential, parliamentary and local government elections, claimed widespread intimidation against his opposition party ahead of the vote.<\/p>\n
Chamisa said Mnangagwa has utilized institutions like the police and the courts to crack down on critical figures, ban opposition rallies and prevent candidates from running. In the AP interview, he laid out a series of concerns that indicate the country, with its history of violent and disputed elections, could be heading for another one.<\/p>\n
In rural areas far from the international spotlight, many of Zimbabwe\u2019s 15 million people are making their political choices under the threat of violence, Chamisa alleged. People are getting driven to ruling party rallies and threatened to support Mnangagwa and the Zimbabwe African National Union \u2013 Patriotic Front if they want to stay safe \u2014 or even alive.<\/p>\n
Chamisa, who leads the Citizens Coalition for Change party, called it a choice of \u201cdeath or ZANU-PF\u201d for some.<\/p>\n
\u201cMnangagwa is clearly triggering a national crisis,\u201d he said during the interview in his 11th-floor office in Zimbabwe\u2019s capital, Harare. \u201cHe is driving the country into chaos. He is actually instigating instability. He is violating the law. He is tearing apart institutions of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Thursday, a man wearing the yellow colors of Chamisa\u2019s CCC party was beaten and stoned to death on the way to a political rally, police said. The CCC accused ZANU-PF followers of killing him and attacking other opposition supporters.<\/p>\n
Mnangagwa has repeatedly denied allegations of intimidation and violence by authorities or his party and has publicly called on his supporters to act peacefully during the campaign.<\/p>\n
But Chamisa\u2019s portrayal of a highly repressive political landscape in the southern African nation \u2014 where the removal of autocrat Robert Mugabe in 2017 appears to have been a false dawn \u2014 is backed by reports released by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch ahead of the elections taking place in less than three weeks.<\/p>\n
They will take place amid \u201cfive years of brutal crackdowns on human rights,\u201d Amnesty said, since Mnangagwa gained power from Mugabe in a coup and then won a disputed presidential election by a razor-thin margin against Chamisa in 2018. In its assessment, Human Rights Watch said Zimbabwean authorities have \u201cweaponized the criminal justice system against the ruling party\u2019s opponents\u201d and the buildup to the vote has not met free and fair international standards.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwe has significant mineral resources \u2014 including Africa\u2019s largest deposits of highly sought-after lithium \u2014 and rich agricultural potential, and could be of huge benefit to the continent if it gained the political and economic stability that has eluded it for years. Zimbabwe was shunned by the West for two decades because of abuses during the regime of Mugabe, who died in 2019.<\/p>\n
Mugabe\u2019s removal sent Zimbabweans into the streets to celebrate, and Mnangagwa promised democracy and freedom would be born from the coup. He maintained recently that \u201cZimbabwe is now a mature democracy\u201d under him.<\/p>\n
Rights groups say it\u2019s a mirage and the 80-year-old Mnangagwa, a former Mugabe ally once known as his enforcer, has been as repressive as the man he removed.<\/p>\n
Under Mnangagwa, critics and opposition figures have been jailed, including CCC lawmaker Job Sikhala, who has been in detention for over a year after accusing ruling party supporters of hacking to death an opposition activist.<\/p>\n
Some have faced legal backlash for seemingly minor criticisms, like world-renowned author Tsitsi Dangarembga, who was arrested for participating in a protest that called for better services for citizens.<\/p>\n
A court decision disqualified all 12 CCC candidates in Bulawayo, the second-largest city, from standing in the election, even after the electoral agency said they had registered properly. They successfully appealed to the Supreme Court to be allowed to stand.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am nowhere near the court,\u201d Mnangagwa said, denying any influence on the initial decision to bar the opposition candidates.<\/p>\n
Chamisa, a 45-year-old lawyer and pastor, said Mnangagwa was now overseeing a second coup in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t have a contest without contestation. You can\u2019t have an election without candidates,\u201d Chamisa said. \u201cOnce you eliminate candidates, you are actually eliminating an election. And that\u2019s the point we are making. … It\u2019s a coup on choices.\u201d<\/p>\n
The elections will be monitored by observers from the European Union and African Union, who were invited by Mnangagwa. He says he has nothing to hide. Human Rights Watch has questioned if the observers will be allowed to access all parts of the country, while their small numbers make it likely they won\u2019t be able to monitor the entire vote. There are 150 observers from the EU and more than 12,500 polling stations across the country.<\/p>\n
Chamisa told the AP that his party has put in place systems to be able to independently check vote counts, but there are also doubts that the CCC can deploy enough members to watch over those stations, many deep in rural areas regarded as ZANU-PF strongholds.<\/p>\n
Should their calculations show fraud this time, as was alleged in 2018 and other elections before that, Chamisa warned it will \u201cplunge the country into total disaster and chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n
He urged Mnangagwa to step back from his repressive policies in a country denied democracy under white minority rule before 1980 and again \u2014 according to international rights groups \u2014 under the only two leaders it has seen since: Mugabe and Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe must be stopped because he can\u2019t drive the whole nation and plunge it into darkness and an abyss on account of just wanting to retain power,\u201d Chamisa said of Mnangagwa. \u201cZimbabweans deserve peace, they deserve rest. They have suffered for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
