'Mugabe had become a toddler when it comes to the kind of brutality that we are seeing,' MDC leader Nelson Chamisa said.

The protesters then regrouped, singing songs condemning police brutality. As the crowd swelled, police fired teargas. “What is clear is that it’s turning out that the regime in Harare is far worse than the Mugabe regime. One would be persuaded to think that Mugabe is back, but then you realise this — it’s not Mugabe even at his best.

Supported by the military, Mnangagwa took over from Mugabe before winning disputed elections in July 2018.
