| 20/06/2005, Following Zimbabwe’s 31 March general election in which the ruling
Zanu-PF party won a "landslide victory," President Robert Mugabe has
unleashed armed police against street traders and shanty town dwellers.
Dave Carr, Socialist Party, England and Wales |
| 11/04/2005, For the third election in succession, the Robert Mugabe-led Zimbabwe
African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) has thwarted the will
of the people and retained power through rigged elections. This time it
obtained a ’landslide’ - 78 out of the 120 seats contested.
Weizmann Hamilton, Democratic Socialist Movement, South Africa |
| 10/08/2003, The economic situation around here is disasterous. Official figures for
inflation are 340% but economic analysts say that the actual figure is
over 400%. The government tampers with figures in order to hide the
seriousness of the situation. Prices of basic commodities keep going up.
Every new stock of goods has a new price sometimes double the old one.
For example, the price of a loaf of bread went from Z$300 to Z$1 200
last month. The economic situation is worsened by the crippling foreign
currency shortage. The value of the Zimbabwean dollar against other
currencies is officially fixed at artificial levels by the government of
Z$56 against the $US. This is the main cause of forex shortages and a
thriving black market.

| 02/07/2003, By brute force, Robert Mugabe’s regime has for the moment survived the
longest and most successful stay-away in Zimbabwe’s history. The ‘Final
Push’, called by the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), did not
topple Mugabe, but the brutal suppression revealed the isolation of a
regime with no support in the urban areas.
