The Zimbabwean government condemned sabhuku land deals and
started a perplexing campaign to demolish homes in rural areas, all in the name of "maintaining order" and "protecting agricultural land" (yeah, right!).

Now, add several other social issues - including crime to the mix - and you have a recipe for deep-seated voter dissatisfaction.
The two main candidates are expected to be, 80-year-old incumbent president Emmerson Mnangagwa, from the governing Zanu-PF party.
And, his younger rival - Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, from the Citizen's Coalition for Change.
So, will they deliver on the promises they are making to voters? And what challenges will they face?
