Should Democracy sustain itself in Zimbabwe?

Its unimpeachable that the institutions of Democracy are functioning undemocratically in Zim.
That there is need for robust methods of consolidating democracy is undebatable.
Since 1980, Elections have been held periodically in Zimbabwe but the people have
never experienced a free and fair election. Electoral laws have been skewed to
benefit Mugabe and his cronies. Mugabe also introduced a number of draconian laws
as an assault on the opposition and all voices of decent. How can the media operate
freely when there are laws such as the AIPPA that criminalise journalism?
The role of civil society and the opposition has been deeply clouded by the POSA
which requires police clearance for two or more people to have a meeting.
That means the opposition parties cannot hold rallies without police clearance.
The people of Zimbabwe have also been deprived of their right to demonstrate
against injustice.
The passing of countless -small pieces of legislation that infringe on the
rights of the masses has caused many civic organisations, private companies
and investors to close shop.
Democracy must be consolidated now in Zimbabwe through economic and
social justice. The liberalisation of the economy is also of more concern.
What matters is not only the availability of institutions of democracy but
the environment in which they are operating. Reason and rationale must
prevail over dogmatic machismo and political fiefdom.
