Living half a world away from the unfolding political events in Zimbabwe doesn't make it any less personal for 24 year old Kuda Mangoma. His father, Elton Mangoma, is a former cabinet minister of the opposition MDC party, and was caught up in the violent 2008 presidential election. While Kuda moved to Australia in 2009 as a teenager, he told SBS reporter, Aileen Phillips, he's nervously watching developments in his former home country.
