Answers
Answer:
HOW IS ZIMBABWE GOVERNMENT
UNDEMOCRATIC AND AUTOCRATIC? GIVE REASONS.
Explanation:
1. Zimbabwe has been ruled by ZANU-PF, the party that led the freedom struggle. Its leader, Robert Mugabe, is popular but also uses unfair practices in elections.
2. Over the years his government has changed the constitution several times to increase the powers of the President and make him less accountable.
3. Opposition party workers are harassed and their meeting disrupted. Public protests and demonstrations against the government are declared illegal. There is a law that limits the right to criticise the President.
4. Television and radio are controlled by the government and give only the ruling party’s version. The government has ignored some court judgments that went against it and has pressurised judges.
