WATCH: Drone footage shows long queues waiting to vote in Zimbabwe

Zimbabweans began voting on Monday in the first election since the removal of former president Robert Mugabe.

The election will see 75-year-old President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a long-time Robert Mugabe ally, face 40-year-old Nelson Chamisa, a lawyer and pastor who is vying to become Zimbabwe’s youngest head of state.
