Struggling to walk, Mugabe raised his fists to acknowledge them. Some booed the former president. He had his finger inked and was assisted by his wife into the booth.

Mugabe, 94, ruled Zimbabwe from independence in 1980 until his resignation in November under military pressure and many people are anxious for change.
