10 March 2015

African leaders have elected Robert Mugabe as chairman of the African Union (AU). His election was received with mixed reactions; some hailed it as the right decision, while others called it a step backward for Africa.

Age has not slowed Robert Mugabe down. If anything, the opposite is true: the Zimbabwean president is at the peak of his powers, and revelling in his new role as African Union chairperson. If only he would use his political prowess for the good rather than evil. By SIMON ALLISON.

Whether or not the Southern African state of Zimbabwe can be said to be in a process of ‘transition’ is debatable.

The persecution and discrimination of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) persons has become a common feature in Zimbabwe and Africa in general. Zimbabwe is one of the 38 countries in the Africa that prohibit same-sex marriage.
