Dear student..
Zimbabewe attained independence from White minority rule in 1980.
Since than the country has been ruled by ZANU-PF, the party that led the freedom struggle.
Its leader Robert Mugabe, has been ruling the country since then.
Elections were held regularly and always won by him. He used unfair practices in elections.
Over these year, his government has changed the constitution several times to increase the power of the president. These make him less accountable.
Opposition parties are harassed and their meeting are disrupted. Public protest are said illegal. Television and Radio are controlled by the government. The government has ignored some of the court judgments .
From this we learn that,
Popular government can be undemocratic
Popular leaders can be autocratic
