Opposition Parties' Coalition-Building
Elections in the Sub-Saharan region are highly contested and buckled with irregularities, with ruling parties unwilling to concede electoral defeat. In Zimbabwe, for four decades, the ZANU-PF party's electoral dominance has been either by coercion or consent. This article investigates the electoral challenges and prospects of an opposition political parties' party's office-seeking coalition with a specific focus on the Zimbabwean harmonized elect…

Interpreting Urban Informality in Chegutu, Zimbabwe
Using data derived from participant observation and stories told by people in Chegutu, Zimbabwe, this paper argues that urbanites who engage in informal economic activities sometimes defend their right to the city through repertoires of quiet encroachment.

This paper seeks to analyse Zimbabwe's economic empowerment policy. It argues that while there is a felt need for Zimbabwe to redress colonially induced injustices and racial imbalances in the ownership of the means of production, a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to the indigenisation of the economy is fundamentally flawed as it deters investors and may further damage the country's already extremely fragile economy. The implementation of the land r…
The State, Labour and the Politics of Social Dialogue in Zimbabwe 1996-2007
Drawing on primary and secondary data, this paper explores the dynamics of the politics involved in the social dialogue process in Zimbabwe; more specifically the utility of the process as a tool to resolve socio-economic problems. The paper further seeks to demonstrate the relationship between failure to reform on the political policy front and economic problems thereby explaining why social dialogue in Zimbabwe fails to yield the intended resul…
