Ask most Zimbabweans about our election and they'll talk about vote rigging, stolen votes and skulduggery. Whilst there is hope for political change there's also a great deal of pessimism. So many stolen elections and no leadership to challenge that reality. The artwork above by Cheri Cherin from the Congo aptly illustrate these sentiments.
