Voices from Zimbabwe
It’s like a country in suspended animation and people are skeptical that the arrangements don’t make sense. It seems like there are two cabinets, each chaired by a different man who don’t have a good relationship with each other. Mugabe prides himself on his culture, whereas the opposition leader is a working class man. No one knows what the opposition leader will be like in government and how he’ll work with Mugabe. Shops don’t have anything in them right now.
This is not what Zimbabweans voted for but it’s what we have to deal with to save our country. What will be at the top of the agenda? Electricity? Water? Law and order, and accountability? We can surely not move forward without accountability. Those who have broken laws must be held accountable.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
