Zimbabweans go to the polls on Saturday to vote in what is shaping up to be the most interesting election since independence.

The country's octogenarian president, Robert Mugabe, is looking to continue his 28-year-term in office but he is facing his fiercest challenge yet, as the country suffers from hyperinflation, chronic poverty and unemployment.

Richard
Operating superintendent, 53
Hwange
"Mugabe is a hero, not just in Zimbabwe, but also in Africa"


Sandra
Accountant, 23
Bulawayo
"No way are these elections going to be free and fair"

Masiza
Engineer, 43
Harare
"This time there is a different dimension. Things will change"


Cleopas
Church worker, 38
Marondera
"I have seen a green light in Simba Makoni"


Farai
Student, 24
Harare
"There are spies everywhere.
They detect everything"
