Zeinab Badawi speaks to Welshman Ncube, who leads MDC-N in Zimbabwe. Can the opposition parties put aside their differences and defeat President Mugabe and his ruling Zanu-PF? 

Zimbabwe is gripped by a severe drought which has left a third of its fifteen million people dependent on food aid. The state is running out of dollars, workers go unpaid and unemployment is very high - a dire situation that presents the opposition in the country with an opportunity in nationwide elections next year. HARDtalk's Zeinab Badawi speaks to Welshman Ncube who leads his own faction of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change - known as MDC-N. The main opposition parties have now formed an alliance, but can they put aside their differences and focus on defeating President Mugabe and his ruling Zanu-PF?
