Zimbabwe is set to mark its 46th Independence anniversary on Saturday.
The anniversary (comes at a time) is a time of economic strain and renewed political debate over governance and development.
While the government points to infrastructure projects and its decentralisation drive as signs of progress, critics say many citizens continue to feel left behind amid rising living costs and unemployment.
Professor Ibbo Mandaza, Zimbabwean political analyst says the commemoration of Zimbabwe’s Independence is a sombre time in the country.
