Thousands at anti-Emmerson Mnangagwa rally protest against the government

Thousands of maddened Zimbabwean anti-government demonstrators marched through the capital city Harare on November 29 for a nationwide protest over the country's economic collapse and what the opposition calls the new government's 'cocktail of lies.'

The protesters singing and waving placards denouncing President Emmerson Mnangagwa's rule gathered in the centre of Harare to hear speeches ahead of a march.

Emmerson Mnangagwa's administration is under growing pressure one year after taking office following the removal of long-time leader Robert Mugabe. Tensions remain high after July's disputed election that Mnangagwa narrowly won.

The main opposition party MDC Alliance organised the event. The party claims that it was cheated of victory in the July 30 election, eight months after long-time leader Robert Mugabe was ousted. One banner read 'Mnangagwa must go' during the protest alongside others reading 'You stole my vote, please give it back.'

"We are here to demonstrate against the economic crisis and the election that was stolen. There are no jobs. The current government is not doing anything to fix our problems," a 25-year old security guard told AFP.

Main opposition leader and current MDC Alliance President Nelson Chamisa said life in Zimbabwe is more difficult now than under Mugabe.
