Former Zimbabwean cabinet minister Saviour Kasukuwere is returning to Zimbabwe to run as an independent presidential candidate in general elections.
Kasukuwere has been in self-imposed exile in South Africa since 2017 when former president Robert Mugabe was toppled in a military coup.
In the statement, the former minister said it was unacceptable that he “exiled myself and many other comrades over one key disagreement about how the internal succession process ought to have been handled”. In October 2020, the government sought Kasukuwere’s extradition from South Africa to face criminal charges after issuing a warrant for his arrest.
