“The civil society has long mobilised all stakeholders such as Zimbabweans in the Diaspora, churches, the military and all who care to unite in preparing for the post Mugabe era. They were concerned that there was a possibility or evidence that some people may try to hijack Zimbabwe in the event Mugabe was no longer President and they wanted to build an atmosphere of unity to ensure that that does not happen,” she says.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
