What Zimbabwe has experienced over the last 4 decades, South Africa has seen the same over two. What is scary is we are heading straight into the next two decades without realizing that we are reliving Zimbabwe's history.This is a timely book, told with passion and sometimes frustrated anger at the misinformation perpetrated by the western media, their allies within Zimbabwe and all other African countries recently liberated from colonialism. For any South African with an opinion on Zimbabwe, but either has never been there or bothered to interrogate the details of its challenges, this is a "must read"!I felt embarrassed at times at what I took at face values to be the problems in Zimbabwe; I read without enquiry what the media (international and South African) were dishing out as facts. I noticed though that whenever I spoke personally to Zimbabweans, I never got the same sense as I got from the media. I met people who were very comfortable in who they were and very happy to return to the hell pit that the media was continuously painting. I never sat back to question the contradiction!Unless we heed the call that Kavanagh is making, South Africa should brace itself for a decade of strife and brutal hardship. The Lancaster Agreements of Zimbabwe remind me of the CODESA Agreements of South Africa - back then the "dragon's teeth" were sown in South African politics, we are now slowly reaching reaping stage as frustrations and decent start to mount. The false unity that we once relied on for growth is being taken apart by those with vested interest as pertinent questions of land ownership, resource control and direction our new found independence should take are discussed.Things definitely couldn't and shouldn't continue as they are/were - we haven't learned from Zimbabwe! What a pity - we should have by now devised strategy for a system that seeks to uplift the downtrodden and to empower them with the abilities to direct their own futures. Instead we have been experimenting with a similar system that has failed Zimbabwe, whose results are not a far away phenomenon, but a daily specter that we see and deal with daily! Why aren't we asking these questions, why has our media let us down so badly when they purport to inform us???This a challenge to those journalists in The Mail & Guardian (SA), Sunday Times, 702 Radio, CNN, BBC, SKY and all those establishments who claim true journalism and some independent reporting, to read this book with an open mind and internally ask themselves to what degree they've been complicit in propagating the stereotypes of Zimbabwe and more so in what way they are assisting those with vested interests in the destruction of South Africa? They owe it to themselves and to everything they claim to stand for to educate the population better.A really worthy output, I hope it receives its place in African and World political literature as a masterpiece which interrogated Post-liberation politics and difficulties that these new institutions find themselves better than any before it.Nathi Mdladla ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Read! *by T***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2015* So many books on Zimbabwe are very biased one way or another. This book is the rare exception! It is exactly what I was looking for! I wanted a book that took the issues of Zimbabwe - a place where I visit and have close friends - and lets the reader form opinions of complex issues. The author looks at the issues from all angles. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT *by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015* An ebook that gives us a new look at Zimbabwe.. Zimbabwe is a country that has many things going for it, if it had good government things would be much better for the people of Zimbabwe. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/15483773-zimbabwe-challenging-the-stereotypes](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/15483773-zimbabwe-challenging-the-stereotypes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
