Kenyan script, Zimbabwean cast – is the best way to describe the violent clashes that took place in Harare on 1 August this year.

The clashes came as a surprise to many considering that the electioneering for the 30 July plebiscite was the most peaceful in the history of Zimbabwe.

However, to those who follow the news, the violence was long time coming.

Let us rewind to July 2017, when former MDC-T leader Tsvangirai and one of his then deputies, Nelson Chamisa, travelled to Kenya where they met with Orange Democratic Movement leader, Raila Odinga (known for inciting some Kenyans to burn and turn their country upside down every time he was defeated in an election).

Chamisa is on record confirming the visit to the East African country.

“We travelled to Kenya to build a global coalition against manipulation of elections, not just in Zimbabwe, but the whole African continent,” he said.

 “The tragedy we have on the continent is of disputed elections and to that end, efforts are afoot to mobilise international and global solidarity for free and fair elections, not only in the Sadc region, but also East Africa.”
