Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa 16, 2 nd Avenue P. O. Box 93 Kwekwe Zimbabwe Telephone: +263552525235 e-mail: [email protected] All rights reserved. The Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa is a Trust that was registered in 2004 in Harare, Zimbabwe (Protocol Number MA147/2004 refers). The report is a product of research that was conducted by the Research Team of the Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa. The organization appreciates inputs received from members of the Community Anti-Corruption Monitoring Voluntary Action Groups. These members were deployed to monitor and report on cases of electoral corruption and fraud. Page | 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Zimbabwe has experienced at least seven general elections since the end of colonial rule in 1980. Most of these elections, if not all of them, have gained notoriety for allegations of electoral fraud, corruption and other related irregularities. The pre-election run-up to the 30 July 2018 General Election is not unique and different from the previous elections in this regard. On 9 June 2018, for instance, President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has urged his party’s candidates, to offer trinkets to chiefs and traditional leaders to procure their support in the elections. His remarks illuminate how deep rooted electoral corruption is, in Zimbabwe.

  • Political Economy of Crisis, Mining and Accumulation in Zimbabwe
    Political Economy of Crisis, Mining and Accumulation in Zimbabwe: Evidence from the Chegutu Mhondoro Area By Showers Mawowa Submitted to the School of Built Environment and Development Studies In Partial Fulfilment of The Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Development Studies 2013 University of KwaZulu Natal Durban Supervisor: Professor Bill Freund “… the real science of political economy, which has yet to be distinguished from the bastard science, as medicine from witchcraft, and astronomy from astrology, is that which teaches nations to desire and labour for the things that lead to life: and which teaches them to scorn and destroy the things that lead to destruction.” Ruskin, 1862 ABSTRACT This thesis has its foundations in a 2007 master’s research on the political economy of “illegal” gold panning in central Zimbabwe. A book chapter (Moore and Mawowa, 2010) and a journal article (Mawowa, 2013) have since resulted from that work. The former work argues that illegal gold panning demonstrates a distinctive pattern of accumulation characterising post-2000 Zimbabwe. Four aspects of this pattern are identified namely, i) the link between coercion, chaos and disorder and wealth accumulation and political power retention, ii) the role of the state in this imbroglio, in particular, its pervasiveness and centrality, iii) that this pattern was shaped by and has remodelled the acquisitive instincts of Zimbabwe’s ruling elite and iv) a culture of ‘strategic contradictions’ within ruling elites abets this pattern of accumulation. This thesis does not move substantially from this premise. Instead, it recasts these observations within a much broader scope.
