The Zimbabwe Information Centre (ZIC) informs Australians about current developments in Zimbabwe. We support organisations in Zimbabwe advocating for good governance, embracing diversity, and building an inclusive society, with fair distribution of wealth and benefits, equality for all and human rights for all.
We work in partnership with the Zimbabwe Peacebuilding Initiative (ZimPI). Working with government and with member organisations of around 750,000 people, ZimPI fosters ‘synergies for peace with justice, safety, security, green entrepreneurship, happiness and prosperity for all’. Peacebuilding is a tool to bring Zimbabweans together and resolve intergenerational challenges as one society, building on traditional values of Ubuntu.
"Africans have this thing called Ubuntu... the essence of being human. It is part of the gift that Africans will give the world. It embraces hospitality, caring about others, willing to go the extra mile for the sake of others. We believe a person is person through another person, that my humanity is caught up, bound up and inextricable in yours. When I dehumanise you I inexorably dehumanise myself. The solitary individual is a contradiction in terms and, therefore, you seek to work for the common good because your humanity comes into its own community, in belonging." Archbishop Desmond Tutu

The preventive arrest of 20 Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions last Thursday was aimed at stopping mass protests at a new 2 per cent tax on all electronic transactions. This state action demonstrated that despite the rhetoric of democratic change, important democratic rights to assemble and to protest are not respected.
It is now the beginning of October, and the national elections took place on July 30 – seemingly an age ago. It took the Supreme Court challenge before a new government could be sworn in on September 7.
