Resumo O presente artigo foca o impacto dos sistemas de segurança social sobre os utentes pensionistas, realizando para esse fim uma análise das dinâmicas da Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Social (NSSA) no Zimbabué. Os autores realizaram uma análise de conteúdo da literatura empírica disponível com o objetivo de reunir e sintetizar resultados que permitam uma perspetiva crítica sobre a Segurança Social neste país. As perspetivas centradas na contestação do mandato da NSSA relativamente à proteção de trabalhadores são também analisadas. Os autores argumentam que o papel do sistema de segurança social será a prevenção e redução da pobreza entre pensionistas e desempregados. Deste modo, sugerem o realinhamento da NSSA com o seu mandato original orientado para a proteção dos trabalhadores na pobreza, garantindo ao mesmo tempo a sua dignidade.
