As I was going through the MDC and Zanu-PF’s manifestos I tried to pick up the stories being depicted by the pictures carried out in their manifestos.

Some pictures in the MDC manifesto look like they were downloaded on Google with a few where you get to question the nationality of the people in the picture. The policemen on the horse picture is surely an oldie goldie, going by the green trees. I don’t remember seeing such green and lively trees in Harare’s CBD. Well you can’t take away that the MDC had good images depicting their open palm party symbol which now has become synonymous with the party. The image of a woman working in a small to medium enterprise is worthy to take note of, not everyone is farming on a big farm but most Zimbabweans are surviving and earning living out of their small garden structures.

Zanu-PF’s manifesto seems to have really dug out their oldest archive pictures. It’s really sad to see Zanu-PF using a de-campaigning picture of their opposition MDC party in their manifesto! Truly if I am reading your manifesto I don’t want to know what the neighbours are doing, I need you to strongly convince me that you deserve my vote and you promise a better life for my son. And Zanu-PF too has some Google images. My thumbs up go to their choice of President Mugabe’s picture, a better reflection of his old age.
