Corruption as an Obstacle to Socio-Economic and Political Justice in Zimbabwe

Abstract

In Zimbabwe, it has long been believed that corruption is the main barrier to economic growth. Corruption has frustrated all chances for socio-economic and political justice in Zimbabwe. The democratic space has also been shrunk as evidenced by judicial failure to affect reasonable punishment on perpetrators of corruption. This chapter examines recorded incidents of corruption in Zimbabwe that have not received the proper attention, resulting in the deterioration of socioeconomic and political justice.
