Summary

This analysis, which included Zimbabwe, showed that, on average, Zimbabweans were highly dissatisfied with the state of democracy in their country, but that the winners were more satisfied than either the losers or the non-partisan, but also that the non-partisan were slightly more dissatisfied than the losers. This analysis was based on the data from the 1999 Afrobarometer survey, but one can see from the 2004 survey that this conclusion would still hold.

Summary

The focus of this particular paper is to look at the efficacy of traditional mechanisms in transitional justice in Zimbabwe. The role of indigenous knowledge systems and use of local capacities can no longer be underestimated in development. Traditional mechanisms are often viewed with a lot of suspicion possibly because they do not fit in western perceptions and notions of justice.
