Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe (), officially the Republic of Zimbabwe, is a landlocked country located in southern Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers. It is bordered by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west and southwest, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique to the east and northeast. Although it does not border Namibia, less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River separates it from that country. The capital and largest city is Harare. A country of roughly 13 million people, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, with English, Shona, and Ndebele the most commonly used.
Since the 11th century, present-day Zimbabwe has been the site of several organised states and kingdoms as well as a major route for migration and trade. The British South Africa Company of Cecil Rhodes first demarcated the present territory during the 1890s; it became the self-governing British colony of Southern Rhodesia in 1923. In 1965, the conservative white minority government unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia. The state endured international isolation and a 15-year guerrilla war with black nationalist forces; this culminated in a peace agreement that established universal enfranchisement and de jure sovereignty in April 1980. Zimbabwe then joined the Commonwealth of Nation

Violet Gonda moderates the debate on the new Empowerment and Indigenisation regulations recently passed by the government. The guests are businessman Mutumwa Mawere, economist Daniel Ndlela, the President of the Affirmative Action Group Supa Mandiwanzira and journalist Peta Thornycroft. Supa picks up from Mutumwa's observation that Zimbabwe needs to generate employment and encourage the masses of people who left the country to return - instead of introducing legislation that will add a significant burden to established businesses.
Mandiwanzira: I don't buy the argument that Zimbabweans are desperate to be empowered by jobs. We have realised that jobs will not take us anywhere. We must own our own resources and control our own destiny.
I'm aware that at Kamativi Tin Mine, a lot of tin was mined and used to make arms during the Second World War. If you go to Kamativi today, you will see some of the poorest of Zimbabweans. Why has that happened? No Zimbabwean or resident of Kamativi was involved in the company that exploited those resources to ensure that it benefits the local citizens afterwards. I'll not mention a multi-national platinum company that operates in Zimbabwe that has got platinum concessions. When the Zimbabwe government wanted to take a certain chunk of
