Politically motivated violence has reportedly flared up in Zimbabwe in recent months, as the southern African nation gears up for presidential polls in 2018, a report says. According to Bloomberg, a rights group, The Zimbabwe Peace Projects, claimed that at least 745 people were attacked in August alone, up from 435 in July. The group alleged that about 94% of the attacks were carried out by the ruling Zanu-PF party, and the country's security forces. To help us unpack this violence ahead of the 2018 polls, we are joined on the line by:
