BBC World Service - Weekend, Emerson Mnangagwa wins Zimbabwe election

Opposition parties accuse the government of vote-rigging

The Zimbabwean electoral commission reports that the incumbent president, Emerson Mnangagwa, has been re-elected with 53 percent of the vote. The opposition, led by Nelson Chamisa, have accused the government of widespread vote-rigging. 

Also on the programme: Three black people have been shot dead in a racist attack in Jacksonville, Florida; and 100,000 people take to the streets of Tel Aviv to protest the Israeli government’s plans to overhaul the judiciary. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Mark Kersten, Assistant Professor of Human Rights at the University of the Fraser Valley in Canada and Kate Clark, Co-Director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network.
