South Africa and Zimbabwe – Limits to Change
East India Company Pub & Eatery, Ottawa 210 Somerset St W, Ottawa, ON, CanadaThis talk will explore the origins and nature of change in these two southern African countries and assess its significance. Does the rise to power of an authoritarian political leader in Zimbabwe offer a glimpse of South Africa’s future? Or will the different historical terrain and stronger institutions (the judiciary, the media, the political opposition and civil society) enable a positive alternative?
