Zimbabwean politics

Zimbabwean politics has been shaped by issues of governance, economic challenges, and leadership. Since independence in 1980, the ruling party, ZANU-PF, led by Robert Mugabe, dominated for decades, facing criticism for corruption and authoritarian practices. Economic difficulties, including hyperinflation and land reforms, have caused widespread hardship. In recent years, Zimbabwe has seen efforts at political reform and transition, with Emmerson Mnangagwa’s presidency promising change. The political landscape involves tensions between maintaining stability and addressing demands for democratic reforms, economic recovery, and human rights. Overall, Zimbabwe’s politics reflect a complex interplay of historical legacy, economic struggles, and evolving governance.
