EDITORIAL Democracy at work THE strength of any political party is in constant and regular consultation with the people. ZANU-PF has been doing precisely that this month (December). On the 13th of December we had the fourth regular session of the Central Committee. But, on the 15th and 16th December, the Party organised a mini-Congress to consult all districts and provinces on the current Party programme. A wide range of issues was discussed, and common positions estabished. Before the general elections of last April, and the municipal elections of last October, the Party again consulted widely in the selection of candidates. Primary elections were held to determine and ensure that the candidates had grass-roots support. That was as it should be. No candidate(s) should be imposed on any constituency by anybody. But, that process has raised many problems. It has allowed persons with money to buy their way into certain offfices, without a commitment to principles and policies of the Party. it is necessary to review the current practices on elections with a view to maintaining the unity of the Party, and strengthening real democracy and free choice. One of the requirements in making democracy work is a responsible press that reports statements and issues correctly and objectively. A section of the Zimbabwe press is yellow and malicious in its reporting on the Government and the ruling Party. It readily prints lies and views of any opposition candidates, and distorts whatever comes from ZANU-PF. No effort is ever made to hear or print our views. Some of the editors, reporters, and columnists, were sworn enemies of ZANU-PF during the liberation struggle. It is the same people still fighting against us and the people. It is difficult to build a democratic society with such specialist liars pursuing their hidden agenda in the name of a free press. IMF impoverishing Third World countries IN this issue we carry a number of articles commenting on how the implementation of IMF prescriptions is causing unforeseen economic hardships in the affected countries. The spread of IMF influence in the management of national economies is directly connected with post-Cold War developments in the international economic order. The collapse of central economic management in Eastern Europe ensured the unchecked spread of capitalist influence in every part of the globe, especially in Third World' countries. The International

  • 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.

  • National Security Is a Sensitive Subject. a Country's Survival, Growth
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY National security is a sensitive subject. A country’s survival, growth and development depend on a well crafted and consciously implemented national security policy. By nature, national security implementation should always be at a competitive edge relative to internal and external security threats. As a result, the state cannot easily disclose or expose its national security policies and plans without sufficient cause. Zimbabwe’s national security implementation is guided and instructed by the Public Order and Security Act, the Official Secrets Act and the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act. These acts complement one another and are applied flexibly enough to suit the prevailing circumstances The Acts ensure that order, peace and stability prevail, and that the state’s secrets are protected from those who are not entitled to them. State secrets are the preserve of responsible authorities who implement them to control the variables that affect the survival, growth and development of the state. While the call for the right to access to information may sound cogent, it is important to note that it cannot be guaranteed that the information will not be used against the interests of the state and private individuals. In the Zimbabwean context, the phenomenon of the public demanding access to security information is not significant. The public is aware of the sensitivity of state secrets and security information, and it is not common to identify ordinary people craving for security information. Those who demand the information are political malcontents bent on finding a pretext for fomenting anarchy. Public order is maintained by the Zimbabwe Republic Police, and national defence is guaranteed by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, but for effective protection of the nation, security information is the preserve of those entitled to access it and use it, and not just anybody who might use it against the interests of the state.

    AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITIEE INTERNATIONAL DIVISION SOUTHERN AFRICA INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS REPORT Letter No. 12 from Ted Lockwood July 27, 1985 Af: AFSC' e Southern Afri~& Int6"'·ii8.tioiial Affairs Representative, Edgar (Ted) Lockwood carries responsibility for writing reports, initiating conferences, seminars, and personal contacts that support the work of the member nations of the Southern Africa Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) in fosterlng greater regional development and economic coopera­ tion. To be included on the mailing list, write to AFSC, Africa Programs at 1501 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102. Contributions to defray mailing and duplicating costs are welcome. NOTE: The text of this letter refers to two political parties, both named ZANU. ZANU-PF (Patriotic Front)refers to the ruling party headed by Prime Minister Robert Mugabe. ZANU refers to the minori ty party, headed by Ndabiningi Sithole, which split from ZANU-PF prior to the independence. UANC, the United African Na tional Un ion, headed by Bishop Abel Muzorewa, and ZAPU, the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union, headed by Joshua Nkomo, both minorit~ parties, are also mentioned. De",,!" Friendf:, A politician I once knew used to say, "There is nothing I hate more than surprises." Surprises can be nasty shocks to our preconceived notions. They illustrate our inability to read how others, especially those of another group, another race, another class, are actually feeling and thinking. But surprises can also be happy surprises when things go much better than we could have imagined they would. Zimbabwe's elections had both kinds of surprises. The nasty shock was Ian Smith's winning of 75% of the 20 "white seats" in Parliament, a win that has caused more explanations, letters to the editor of the Harare Herald and general furore than any topic in a long time.
