Show and Tell: Zimbabwe
President Mugabe’s globally disputed “victory” in Zimbabwe’s recent elections and his subsequent opposition-blocking power-play has meant that the country continues to be discussed in the news - mostly in the context of turmoil and violence.
Despite this situation, the increased coverage will inevitably lead to a greater interest in the nation and the threat of danger never does much to deter certain experience-seeking travellers. This being so, I’ve collected just a couple of questions involving Zimbabwe that have been asked recently in the Lonely Planet forum. If you have any knowledge to share about these issues, follow the links and offer your advice.
