Hey mate here is ur ans pls mark it brainliest
Ever since Zimbabwe attained independence from white minority rule in 1980, it has been ruled by Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU - PF) led by its leader Robert Mugabe. In all the elections held since independence this party has always been the winner. In fact, in spite of his popularity Mugabe uses unfair practices in the elections. The constitution of the country has been amended several times by his government to make the president more and more powerful but less accountable towards the country and its citizens. Public protests in the country have been declared illegal. Television and radio are controlled by the Mugabe Government. Opposition party leaders are harassed. Journalists of newspapers are harassed who write against the government. The government has ignored even court decisions which went against the government on different occasions.
Popular governments can be undemocratic and popular leaders can be autocratic. Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe are clear examples of this. Although, the elections are held regularly in Zimbabwe but regular elections are not a guarantee for a democracy. Elections should be held regularly and fair, so that citizens can change the rulers in case they are not satisfied with their performance.
Hence, Zimbabwe cannot be called a democracy.

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:--------
ZIMBABWE CANNOT BE CALLED AS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY BECAUSE ZIMBABWE IS NOT VIEWED AS A VOTE BASED NATION MEANS FREEDOM OF RIGHT TO VOTE SINCE IT HAS MONO- PARTY SYSTEM WHERE THE DECISIONS ARE CONSTANTLY WON BY ZANU.AND ALSO ZIMBABWE AFRICAN NATIONAL UNION WAS AGGRESSOR ASSOCIATION IT BATTELED AGAINST THE WHITE MINORITY GOVERNMENT IN RHODESIA .
IN SHORT PEOPLE HAVE ONLY PARTY TO VOTE FOR AND THEY ARE NOT PROVIDED WITH THE CHOICES WHICH MAKES IT NON- DEMOCRATIC.
