Across Zimbabwe, politicians are campaigning hard ahead of by-elections on Saturday.
Voters will choose who sits in some parliamentary and local council seats.
They are being seen as a test of the political landscape ahead of national elections in 2023, which will decide if Emerson Mnangagwa remains president.
There have been allegations of violence and police clashing with opposition supporters.
But the government denies these reports and says that polling will be orderly.
So, what’s at stake in Zimbabwe’s elections?
