Abstract: After having earned international accolades for its pro-people policies in the 1980s, especially in the provision of health and education services, the Zimbabwean government then presided over the progressive decay and near collapse of the very same sectors, despite continuously presenting itself as a people’s government. This article investigates the factors accounting for this decline and its impact on the Zimbabwean society.
