Prosperity Unbound

Guest Contributor: Rejoice Ngwenya

Amidst the glamour and glitz of constitutional reform, Zimbabwe’s run of property rights violations continues unabated. Reports  that South African farmer Mike Odendaal was arrested for ‘occupying’ his (own) farm and that German investor Heinrich von Pezold lost property to ZANU-PF thugs  are testimony that Zimbabweans are yet to understand the implications of private property rights.

Moreover, if Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirayi wields a semblance of authority, it is hard to understand why he cannot stop the rot. A noble peace prize [yes, noble] awaits a Zimbabwean who will convert Robert Mugabe from his dangerous path of permanent national disability. The answer is to create a serious band of private property rights zealots and unleash chariots of fire in pursuit of free market freedom in Zimbabwe.
