A massive step backwards

PHOTO Wilfred Kajase/AFP Zimbabwe’s new president has vowed to entrench constitutionalism and uphold the rule of law, but recent events suggest otherwise The attempt to reverse decades of Zimbabwe’s economic ruin after Robert Mugabe’s fall in November 2017 was always going to be the most urgent priority for President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the man who took over after Mugabe. The economic collapse left behind by Mugabe after 37 years in power was staggering. The country was cut off from the rest of the world by nearly two decades of sanctions, hamstrung by severe foreign currency shortages; and Zimbabwe also had external debts of over $7 billion owed to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Can religion be harnessed as a political force for good?

Can religion be harnessed as a political force for good? ZANU-PF election poster Photo: Graeme Williams “Africans are notoriously religious,” asserts John Mbiti in his book African Religions and Philosophy. However, upon conducting a scan of the socio-political landscape of the continent, one is led to ask, if Africans are so religious then why are they so notorious? Africa is notorious for its poverty, for its ethnic conflicts and civil wars, for its disease-scourged populations and for its constitutional delinquency. Why does the religious African have to search for heaven in Europe and other lands? Why can’t she be enabled by her religiosity to create her own heaven here in Africa, here in Zimbabwe? Or has religion’s influence in African politics been too limited to have any palpable impact? Can the power of religion be harnessed and employed as a political force for good?

A tale of four cities

A tale of four cities High unemployment levels mean that Zimbabweans, especially young people under the age of 30, face a constantly precarious financial reality Zimbabwe, Harare, 19 November 2017. A family peers down onto the city from a dilapidated blook of flats. PHOTO Graeme Williams Citizen engagement with local authorities, as well as local authorities’ provision of quality services, is an integral part of good governance. This two-way system captures two components of good governance, one of which is how authorities use public resources and the other how citizens respond to the way public resources are used or abused. The work of Good Governance Africa-Zimbabwe (GGA-Z) is deﬁned by the promotion of fact-based knowledge. To increase our understanding of performance at local levels of governance, GGA-Z conducted a Citizen Engagement Survey (CES) in Zimbabwe between June 2018 and March 2019.
