Zim Turns a Corner, Despite the Odds
Philemon Mutedzi
Zimbabwe has been a country that has grappled with the noose wound on it during both colonial and post-colonial times. The cruel colonial regime strangled black Zimbabweans, both politically and economically. The protracted liberation struggle ensured the stage was set for Zimbabwe to attain, firstly, political independence, and secondly, economic independence. The latter, however, is proving to be a tad difficult to attain given the octopian stranglehold that white monopoly capital has over third world resources.
