The people of Zimbabwe go to the polls on Saturday. Despite concerns that Robert Mugabe’s party may rig the elections, there’s excitement in the air, with people openly stating that this election will bring about positive change in their lives. Currently the country has an inflation rate at around one hundred and fifty thousand percent and has the lowest life expectancy in the world.
