Coronavirus lockdown: Zimbabwe's political and economic crisis

Zimbabwe government is struggling with an economic and political crisis that has only been worsened by a lockdown. The measure was introduced to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Tensions are brewing while the country is under lockdown. The opposition says the government is using the lockdown to clamp down on civil liberties. Several of their members have been arrested.
