y Jeanette Minnie, was published by the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) in conjunction with the Netherlands Institute of Southern Africa (NIZA), the Humanist Institute for Co-operation Development (HIVOS) and the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) respectively.
It contains contributions from 14 authors from nine African and two European countries on the state of democratisation in the southern Africa, with Zimbabwe featuring promptly.
The authors emphasise controversial subjects like strategies for change in Zimbabwe, the growth of poverty and shack dweller protests in South Africa and the disposition of liberation movements as governments.
At the launch Minnie urged Africa and the SADC region to tackle such critical issues of bad governance, free and fair elections, respect of the rule of law, peace and stability as the basis for democracy.
She urged men and women of Africa to keep fighting for all these to be achieved, though she admitted that it was a long process to total freedom. – CAJ News
