Zimbabwe's Reforms: an Exercise in Credibility
ISSUE 6 | SEPTEMBER 2016 Southern Africa Report Zimbabwe’s reforms An exercise in credibility – or pretence? Piers Pigou Summary Zimbabwe is again facing major political and economic challenges. Prospects for recovery under the leadership of 92-year-old Robert Mugabe and his chief lieutenants in the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front are looking increasingly bleak. The government has publically committed itself to a reform process that is intended to help reconnect to international channels of credit and investment and an underlying confidence in the country’s potential to bounce back remains. The international community supports these endeavours, but convictions are being tested as headway is stymied by a combination of internal and external exigencies that have exposed the limitations of a political leadership desperate to maintain its hegemony, but clearly running out of options. THE ZIMBABWEAN GOVERNMENT claims commitment to a reform agenda that its adherents believe will underwrite its recovery. Yet it faces an increasingly uncertain future, unable to implement this agenda, buffeted by a host of internal and external exigencies. It appears on course for yet another disputed election in 2018. Since its controversial victory in the 2013 polls, the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and its leader, 92-year-old Robert Mugabe, have presided over an economic decline that has again brought the country to its collective knees, exacerbating unprecedented turmoil within the ruling party and prospects of further state disintegration. Prospects for recovery that had improved during the government of national unity (2009–2013) have narrowed considerably as social and economic conditions worsen, political uncertainties intensify and the state limps from month to month as finances dry up. -

ABSTRACT The dawn of independence in Zimbabwe in 1980 was received with high hopes and expectations by the people but after twenty years of black majority rule, the crisis of the post-colonial condition, well documented in other African countries began to be repeated in Zimbabwe. After experimenting with Western projects of development and neoliberal globalization, Zimbabwe, and specifically higher education institutions such as the University of Zimbabwe became embroiled in a crisis of unprecedented magnitude. -
What Went Wrong with Zimbabwe's MDC-T?
28 June 2018 What Went Wrong With Zimbabwe’s MDC-T? By Leon Hartwell1 Synopsis This paper attempts to identify the key issues that made the Movement for Democratic Change led by the late Morgan Tsvangirai (MDC-T) a weak political party. Although the time period under discussion largely deals with the GNU years (2009-2013), the lessons are not only relevant to the MDC-T now led by Nelson Chamisa, but also to its countless splinter parties. This analysis identifies twenty-one lessons that have to be addressed in order to revive the opposition and to develop it into a unified front that will be able to effectively compete against Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF). 1 Leon Hartwell was the Senior Policy Advisor for Political and Development Cooperation at Netherlands Embassy in Zimbabwe from 2012-2013. He is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Stellenbosch. Table of Contents Page 1.

PROFESSOR WALTER JOSEPH KAMBA Citation for Conferral Of
PROFESSOR WALTER JOSEPH KAMBA Citation for Conferral of Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) Mr Chancellor, I present Professor Walter Joseph Kamba for admission to the degree of Doctor of Letters (honoris causa). Walter Kamba has devoted his life to the development of education in Africa. Indeed, he has played a pre-eminent role in the establishment of a system of university education throughout the emerging nations of Africa in the post-colonial period. His outstanding dedication to this cause was recognised earlier this year by the National University of Lesotho when it awarded him the Fifteenth Anniversary Distinguished Service Award “in appreciation and in recognition of” Professor Kamba’s “leadership role and for the outstanding contributions made to education in Africa.” Walter Kamba was born in Southern Rhodesia in 1931 while that country was still under colonial rule. Little did anyone realise at that time that this child was destined as an adult to play such an important role in the emergence of the independent nation of Zimbabwe. Walter Kamba attended the University of Cape Town where he obtained both a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Law degree. Upon graduation, he was a legal practitioner to the High Court of Southern Rhodesia. During this period, he spent time in the United States at Yale Law School where he obtained his Master of Law degree. Walter Kamba’s keen interest in international legal studies subsequently took him to the United Kingdom where, in 1967, he was appointed as a Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies at the University of London. -

Report of a Conference on Engaging Zimbabweans in the Diaspora Towards Economic Reconstruction
REPORT OF A CONFERENCE ON ENGAGING ZIMBABWEANS IN THE DIASPORA TOWARDS ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION Facilitated by THE INSTITUTE FOR JUSTICE AND RECONCILIATION (IJR) Held at Le Franschhoek Hotel, Franschhoek, Cape Town, South Africa 3-4 December 2009 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On the 3 rd and 4 th of December 2009, the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation hosted a two-day off- the-record roundtable in Franschhoek, Cape Town, entitled ‘Challenges for economic reconstruction in Zimbabwe: An engagement with the Diaspora’. The conference sought to offer Zimbabweans in the Diaspora an opportunity to come together to assess critically economic developments in Zimbabwe, from the inception of the inclusive government to the present moment, as well as to engage with the role the Diaspora could play in contributing to the economic recovery of their country. The government delegation from Zimbabwe explained that following the liberalisation of key economic sectors, the Zimbabwean economy is on the path to recovery. While the multiple currency system is poised to remain in force, the Zimbabwean dollar is projected to be reintroduced in three to four years when production levels and economic indicators improve. There is relative peace in the country, although there are still isolated cases of politically motivated arrests and prosecutions and violations of the rule of law. The Constitution-making process, while it has faced some hurdles, is on track as per the timetable stipulated by the Global Political Agreement (GPA). This will enable the referendum and credible elections to take place as agreed. The government is committed to creating an investor-friendly environment that respects private property rights and where citizens and investors alike are free from persecution. -
The Zimbabwe Student Movement: Love-Hate Relationship with Government?
Journal of Student Affairs in Africa | Volume 3(1) 2015, 35-48 | 2307-6267 | DOI: 10.14426/jsaa.v3i1.91 Research article The Zimbabwe student movement: Love-hate relationship with government? Blessing Makunike* Abstract The purpose of the article is to trace the development of student unionism in Zimbabwe. On the basis of a discussion of the nature of the university, the article argues that because the university environment tolerates and promotes academic freedom and liberal values, it provides an environment conducive to critical thought and oppositional politics, while the university quite often itself becomes the target for student attack. Student representation during the pre-independence period in Zimbabwe sought to engage the institution in its effort to re-order society at a time of racial struggle and class conflict. After independence, student representation was in support of government efforts to create a better Zimbabwe and to consolidate the gains of independence. However, after the first decade of independence, the relationship between students and government soured due to students’ opposition to the one-party system as well as the University of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill, among other issues. This article thus documents and analyses the relationship between students and government with reference to three periods and two key moments: the 1973 protests against racial discrimination in the pre-independence phase and the post-1990 developments in Zimbabwean national and university politics. Keywords Higher education; student unionism; student activism; national politics; Zimbabwe. Introduction Zimbabwe attained independence on 18 April 1980 after a protracted armed struggle. This article discusses three important phases of the development of student representation and unionism in Zimbabwe. -
