Zimbabwe Focus
SAIIA has been monitoring political and economic developments in Zimbabwe over the past few years.
President Robert Mugabe set 31 March 2005 as the date for key parliamentary elections. These elections were closely watched both on the continent and internationally to gauge whether Zimbabwe was able to live up to its pledge to hold free and fair elections.
The main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) took part in the elections for the 120 contested seats in the 150-member parliament.
SAIIA has compiled some relevant documentation in this respect. The following is a collection of material relating to Zimbabwe. These include articles written by SAIIA staff members as published in the media. Likewise, it includes reports, papers and articles SAIIA has published during the past two to three years. Also provided here is official SADC documentation relating to this important election in the southern African region, as well as the final election results.
