In this book the author provides a moving account of how supporters of the current President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa harnessed the power and influence of Social Media to incite, provoke and initiate public discussion of succession of Zimbabwe's former President Robert Gabriel Mugabe so that the succession process would be clear ahead of vacancy to prevent State Presidential vacancy which would have posed the risk of national instability. Through extracts from various social media posts of the author and other supporters of President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, the author provides a chronological and hands on account of how the author and fellow supporters of President ED Mnangagwa used social media to catalyze the retirement of former President Robert Gabriel Mugabe and his replacement by incumbent President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa. The author also ventilates the strategic importance of national convergence by illustrating how national convergence of The People, The Political Parties, The Army and Parliament was crucial in causing MugabeXit and EDpfee which had proved difficult to achieve when pursued without that national convergence. In it all the power and influence of Social Media can not be overemphasized.
Zimbabwe has moved from a condition of restricted expression to one of many contradictory expressions. Politics has lost none of its compromises and conflicts, but it has been amplified by an explosion of voices. For the first time, a genuine debate is possible among many actors, insiders and outsiders, and the question marks over Zimbabwe and its future are no longer in terms of a narrow choice between one party and another, one outlook or another. Compromise government has meant complexity of debate. This does not preclude disillusionment within debate, but it does include vigour and imagination in debate. This book includes essays from renowned scholars, governmental and diplomatic figures, and prioritises contributions by Zimbabweans themselves. The essays provide a blend of academic and practitioner observation and judgement which no other volume has done. This book was published as a special issue of The Round Table.
The defeat of ZANU-PF in the 2008 parliamentary election marked the end of one-party rule in Zimbabwe. The Global Political Agreement signed later that resulted in a Government of National Unity, and the former ruling party was, for the first time, faced with the reality of sharing power. The Hard Road to Reform presents a penetrating analysis of developments since the GNU was established, reviewing recent political history from a range of perspectives - political, economic, social and historical, and featuring the best work of Zimbabwe's young scholars. As Brian Raftopolos writes in his introduction: 'the book is an attempt to analyse and assess both the hopes and frustrations of the last four years and to confront the harsh challenges that lie ahead.'
