  • Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe
    Canadian Sanctions and Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe: Be Very Careful! By Mark Blumberg (January 7, 2009) Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe need to be extremely careful. It is not the place for a new and inexperienced charity to begin foreign operations. In fact, only Canadian charities with substantial experience in difficult international operations should even consider operating in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most difficult countries to carry out charitable operations by virtue of the very difficult political, security, human rights and economic situation and the resultant Canadian and international sanctions. This article will set out some information on the Zimbabwe Sanctions including the full text of the Act and Regulations governing the sanctions. It is not a bad idea when dealing with difficult legal issues to consult knowledgeable legal advisors. Summary On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) (the “Regulations”) came into force pursuant to subsections 4(1) to (3) of the Special Economic Measures Act. The Canadian sanctions against Zimbabwe are targeted sanctions dealing with weapons, technical support for weapons, assets of designated persons, and Zimbabwean aircraft landing in Canada. There is no humanitarian exception to these targeted sanctions. There are tremendous practical difficulties working in Zimbabwe and if a Canadian charity decides to continue operating in Zimbabwe it is important that the Canadian charity and its intermediaries (eg. Agents, contractor, partners) avoid providing any benefits, “directly or indirectly”, to a “designated person”. Canadian charities need to undertake rigorous due diligence and risk management to ensure that a “designated person” does not financially benefit from the program.

The theme of succession, both of the State Presidency and the leadership of ZANU PF, increasingly bedevils all matters relating to the political stability of Zimbabwe and any form of transition to democracy. The constitutional issues related to the death (or infirmity) of the President have been dealt with in several reports by the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU). If ZANU PF is to select the nominee to replace Robert Mugabe, as the state constitution presently requires, several problems need to be considered. The ZANU PF nominee ought to be selected in terms of the ZANU PF constitution.

  • Zimbabwe Domestic Broadcasting, 13 September, 2010 (3 September-12 September, 2010)
    Zimbabwe Domestic Broadcasting, 13 September, 2010 (3 September-12 September, 2010) by Marie Lamensch, MIGS reporter for Zimbabwe (The Herald, government-owned daily, article dated September 6, 2009, in English) “Zimbabwe: Party of Excellence, My Foot!” by Frank Banda • A columnist for Talk Zimbabwe criticized the MDC-T for its corrupt councilors and for thinking that they can “repeat their electoral fluke” in the forthcoming elections. He also criticizes PM Morgan Tsvangirai for calling his party “a party of excellence” as the MDC-T‟s claims have not been back by action. • Reference is made to the MDC-T‟s parallel government and to Tvsangirai‟s demands to have a “peacekeeping force” monitor the next elections, although peacekeeping operations are reserved for conflict-ridden countries. The Prime Minister is criticized for lying to civil servants about their wages simply in an attempt to outshine President Mugabe. References are also made to Tsvangirai official residence, the MDC-T ministers‟ cards, Minister of Finance Tendai Biti‟s failure to consult a parliamentary committee concerning the budget. • The future elections will prove that the MDC-T is far from being the party of excellence (The Chronicle, government-owned daily, article dated September 7, 2009, in English) “MDC-T has failed to present credible challenge to Zanu-PF” by Nancy Lovedale • The MDC-T is described as an emerging political party that have sought to replace Zanu- PF and a party of “quid pro quo” desperate in its drive for power. • Independent media are criticized for siding with the MDC-T, for morphing into a propaganda machine “demonizing and criminalizing Zanu-PF.” • The MDC-T has failed to present a challenge to Zanu-PF and has no credible agenda.

  • What Happened in Parliament? an Analysis of the Participation of Mps 2012 to 2013
    What happened in Parliament? An analysis of the participation of MPs 2012 to 2013 Rumbidzai Dube, Senior Researcher November 2013 1. Executive Summary This report is the last of a three part series of thematic reports analysing the performance of the Seventh Parliament in the last year of its tenure. While the previous two reports assessed the aspects of the Seventh Parliament to do with attendance and gender; this last offering looks specifically at the achievements of Parliament , with particular regard to issues such as Bills passed, debates undertaken and legislative performance in general. The report notes, among other things, that: • The levels of participation and debate among Parliamentarians were generally low, with some members spending the entire year without contributing anything to pertinent discussions; • Although most ministers impressively managed to participate in either House of Assembly or Senate sessions, at least two-thirds of the ZANU PF ministers never participated in either the House of Assembly or Senate sessions, a worrying trend considering that they have held ministerial positions for longer; • Question and Answer sessions – an important process in Parliament- were characterised by poor attendance by Ministers. Some Ministers tactfully side-stepped important questions. Some members addressed questions to the wrong Ministries. In some instances, procedural considerations in the conduct of the business of Parliament resulted in some questions remaining unanswered up to the end of the Seventh Parliament; • The

  • Political Violence Report: October 2002
    ZIMBABWE HUMAN RIGHTS NGO FORUM POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT: OCTOBER 2002 21 November 2002 A report by the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Political Violence Report: October 2002 OVERVIEW Reports of organised violence have consistently surrounded the period preceding elections in Zimbabwe. The by-election held in Insiza over the weekend of 26 - 27 October 2002 proved to be no exception as it was allegedly marked by violence and engulfed in intimidation. There were reports of victimization of villagers, real and perceived MDC supporters as well as the MDC candidate himself. In one case, it is alleged when Zanu PF candidate, Andrew Langa, is alleged to have fired a shot at an MDC supporter, Darlington Kadengu, during the campaign period. Siyabonga Mlandu Ncube, the MDC candidate was with Kadengu at the time of the shooting. It is unknown whether the shot that hit Kadengu had been intended for him or not. The reported presence of CIO officers and youths from the Border Gezi National Service Training Centre observing and monitoring the polls in a breach of the electoral laws, was purported to have had an intimidatory effect on the opposition party supporters. As the Electoral Act Section 14B states, it is only those nominated by and accredited by the Observers’ Accreditation Committee before the actual commencement of the polls, and those who also have proof of an accreditation certificate, who are empowered to observe polls; neither of these groups had been accredited. There were allegations that the police were selective in application of the law as they reportedly targeted only MDC supporters, turning a blind eye to political violence perpetrated by Zanu PF supporters.

  • Long-Term Monitoring Report
    Number. 1 Background The Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) is gearing itself towards an impending major election, the parliamentary election of 2005. There had been a fiercely contested general election in 2000, which ushered into parliament, the most formidable opposition since independence. The emergence of the opposition party completely changed the country’s political landscape as the country witnessed unprecedented levels of political violence. Following the 2000 election in which the then nine-month old opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) won 57 of the 120 seats, the government enacted several laws that changed the electoral playing field. Most notable among these was the General Laws Amendment Act in 2001, Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) and the Public Order and Security Act. The enactment of these laws made the political environment in the country very restrictive for civic organisations as well as the opposition political parties. In addition to the above restrictive legislation, in 2004 parliament passed again another piece of repressive legislation, the NGO Bill that is currently awaiting the President’s signature. The NGO bill sought to ban foreign funding to all NGOs working on issues around good governance, democracy and human rights. This bill disturbed the programming of NGOs activities and hence the late preparedness of NGOs especially in view of the pending election. By elections Since 2000, ZESN observed all the 16 by-elections that were held in the country. These by-elections left MDC with 51 seats from the initial 57 whilst ZANU PF gained six more seats to have 68 seats.
