History doesn’t repeat itself? In the presidential election in Zimbabwe, incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa prevailed with a narrow majority in the first ballot. Like the election five years ago. His challenger, the dazzling lawyer and preacher Nelson Chamisa, sees himself as the true winner of the election and wants to challenge the result. Like five years ago. International observers are expressing concern at an election that was neither free nor fair. Like five years ago. Sometimes history does repeat itself. And even if Marx claims otherwise, citing Hegel, some events do not turn into a farce even the second time around. You remain a tragedy.
