"This is our defining moment as I have already indicated, don't allow yourselves to be intimidated or harassed. I have received numerous complaints from the countryside where people are frog-marched into supporting Zanu PF," says Chamisa.

Chamisa and President Emmerson Mnangagwa are expected to be the main presidential contenders in this year's election.
