Makoni move gets mixed reactions in Gabs

The Zimbabweans are part of the three million people said to be outside the country.
Chances of Zimbabweans in the Diaspora getting a postal or external vote are non-existent, but their input in the politics of the country has a big bearing on the opinion of those who are at home and ready to vote next month.

In Gaborone, where a lot of Zimbabweans have found solace in doing 'piece jobs' as a way of ducking the 80 percent unemployment back home have been largely unimpressed by the sudden announcement by Makoni to lock horns with Mugabe. A survey in and around Gaborone turned up mixed reactions from those interviewed.
