An opposition party in Zimbabwe says its leader and several other party members were attacked today. The National People’s Party leader says Joice Mujuru and others were assaulted with rocks as they tried to hold a political rally.
Joice Mujuru, a former vice-president for governing Zanu-PF, is challenging her former party for the presidency.
The country is expected to hold elections in June, and President Emmerson Mnangagwa has promised to deliver a poll that is free and without violence.
He is facing the biggest test on his commitment to democracy.
