Emmerson Mnangagwa, also known as “the crocodile,” took power in Zimbabwe after the military takeover that led to the resignation of longtime ruler Robert Mugabe. Mnangagwa promised a new start for the country, but as he seeks re-election, Zimbabweans are still grappling with high inflation, poverty, and a climate of fear. While his supporters point to a mining boom and foreign investments during his time in office, critics argue that most changes introduced by Mnangagwa have not benefitted the ordinary Zimbabwean.
