	Politics of Zimbabwe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This led to the political merger of Joshua Nkomo's ZAPU with the ruling ZANU to form Zanu-PF, and the appointment of Nkomo as Vice-President.
		Since the defeat of the constitutional referendum in 2000, politics in Zimbabwe have been marked by slow regression away from many of the norms of democratic governance, such as democratic elections; the independence of the judiciary; the rule of law; freedom from racial discrimination; the existence of independent media, civil society and academia.
		The specific features are: conspiratorial politics replacing democratic elections; a high incidence of clientilism and rivalry for the leader's favours; widespread corruption; purges or rehabilitations (as with Jonathan Moyo) and succession manoeuvres within the party.

	The Politics of Zimbabwe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For a refresher, Zimbabwe was incorporated as a British colony in 1890 and evolved over the years as one in which the political and economic entitlements of the African majority were denied and severely restricted.
		The war finally ended in political victory for the people, and Robert Mugabe, the leader of the movement, was elected the leader of the nation.
		The events of Zimbabwe should serve to tell the world that justice must be served where necessary and we must constantly strive to make equality a living experience, and not just political talk.

		Zimbabwe’s parliamentary elections in 2000 and a presidential poll in 2002 were marred by widespread violence ahead of voting — the brunt of which was borne by the opposition — and irregularities in the electoral process.

	POLITICS: Zimbabwe's State Media Give With One Hand, Take Away With Another (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Zimbabwe's four radio stations and single television station, which have a monopoly on broadcasting, also served up a diet of propaganda for the ruling ZANU-PF party during the two campaigns - and vilified the opposition.
		Rindai Chipfunda of the Zimbabwe Election Support Network, a coalition of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), complains that when opposition representatives are given the chance of presenting their party's views about electoral issues on air, they are sometimes hectored by journalists who for years have acted as ruling party publicists.
		The Media Monitoring Project Zimbabwe, an NGO based in the capital, Harare, also points out that that sustained bias against the opposition in other news programmes and bulletins belies any claim that the state broadcaster is becoming truly neutral in its treatment of the campaign.

		TEXT: Last month, at an opposition political rally in Bindura, northeast of Harare, a grizzled old farm worker in a tattered T-shirt and shabby trousers told me he was happy to support the new Movement for Democratic Change.
		Now, Zimbabwe's state-run broadcasting service is reporting that thousands of farm workers are flocking to rallies in rural areas where they are claiming they were all coerced into joining the M-D-C by the white commercial-farm owners who employ them.
		But these televised political conversions followed bloody incidents in which white farm owners and their fl workers have been killed, beaten, and threatened by ruling party activists or the fl war veterans and other squatters involved in the recent occupations of white-owned farms.

	Swans Commentary: Zimbabwe Under Siege, by Gregory Elich - elich004
		Zimbabwe was handling its finances well, and between 1985 and 1989 had cut its debt-service ratio in half.
		Zimbabwe is cursed with a plague of NGOs, all operating with the self-righteous sense of mission that they have the right to meddle in the affairs of a Third World nation and with the colonial attitude that they should dictate how others are to think and live.
		Political analyst John Makumbe, a supporter of the MDC, admits, "It is largely white Rhodesians who are backing the trust." (55) To put it plainly, the ZDT receives much of its support from former officials and supporters of Ian Smith's apartheid Rhodesia.
