HARARE: Polls opened in Zimbabwe early Saturday for a referendum on a new constitution that would curb President Robert Mugabe's powers and pave the way for elections later in the year.
The country's main political parties, including Mugabe's long ruling ZANU-PF, are in favour of the proposed law changes, making the simple majority needed for a “yes” vote a near certainly.
