[1/3] Former World Boxing Champion (WBC) Floyd Mayweather gestures to fans upon his arrival at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in Harare, Zimbabwe, July 13, 2023.
One of President Emmerson Mnangagwa's closest allies, gold magnate Scott Sakupwanya, who is looking to reclaim a parliamentary seat from the opposition, said he had invited Mayweather.
"I am happy to see Mayweather here in Zimbabwe, it is his first time to come here.
I am registered to vote, and I am going to vote for President Emmerson Mnangagwa," 34-year-old White Marurame told Reuters.
The youth vote is expected to be a crucial battlefield for the two main political parties, ZANU PF and the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).
