The fragile national situation has heightened concerns of potential unrest as the nation grapples with enduring poverty and hyperinflation, which has crippled the economy and left a staggering 80% of the workforce in precarious, informal roles. Zimbabwe's international reputation has also taken a hit due to ongoing human rights violations and allegations of corruption, compelling Western nations like the US to impose sanctions on high-ranking officials.
Despite Mnangagwa's efforts to consolidate power, the growing discontent within ZANU-PF may be indicative of a change in the political landscape, as citizens and party members alike weigh the severe economic conditions against the president's grip on authority. As protests loom, many in Zimbabwe remain apprehensive about the potential for violence and a deepening political crisis.
