"ED Has Been Under Mugabe’s Shadow, It's Too Much To Expect Change" - Academic Researcher

Academic researcher, Takudzwanashe Mundenga, has claimed that nothing has changed in Zimbabwe since the departure of former president Robert Mugabe from the political arena.

He noted that this was contrary to popular belief held when Mugabe’s successor, President Mnangagwa rose to power in 2017.

Mundenga notes that all ills that bedevilled Zimbabwe during Mugabe’s era are still prevalent in Mnangagwa’s so-called new dispensation.

The researcher noted that what is on the ground was a clear departure from what Mnangagwa said in an interview with Richard Quest in Davos, Switzerland in 2018. Back then, Mnangagwa claimed that he was a Constitutionalist.

Meanwhile, the nation finds itself in yet another attack on human rights and freedoms which are provided for by the Constitution. Mundenga noted:

However, now, even in the absence of the strongman, Zimbabwe is still an abattoir of human rights.

Police brutality, threats and abduction of activists, assault of journalists, use of live ammunition on protestors, biased state media in favour of the ruling party, judicial interference, abuse of security apparatus to achieve political ends and electoral fraud are some of the human rights concerns that brought Mugabe in check and still persisting in the current administration.

Mundenga argues that the way the State dispersed protesters who had gathered in the streets of Harare on the 16th pf August indicative of a government that is not reforming from totalitarianism.
