 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Longtime ruler President Robert Mugabe vowed Friday to defeat "political prostitutes, political charlatans and two-headed political creatures" in the March 29 election.
Mugabe faces a challenge from former ruling party loyalist Simba Makoni, who says the African country needs younger leaders to tackle the worst economic crisis since its independence from Britain in 1980.
The 84-year-old Mugabe, who recently likened Makoni to a prostitute seeking clients, insisted Friday that his ZANU-PF party had resolved the deep divisions that emerged during an internal vote to select candidates.
