Zimbabwe Today

Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF party has been waging a war against any Zimbabwean who does not go along with their brutally oppressive regime. Today Zimbabwe is a failed state, 5 million Zimbabweans have fled to South Africa and a further million have gone abroad. There is 90% unemployment and HIV rates stand at a conservative 25% with zero state health systems for all but the wealthy. Many thousands find themselves victims of rape, torture and mayhem at the hands of organized Zanu PF militias. All large- scale commercial production farms, most white owned and employing over 1.8 million Zimbabweans, have been taken over and through ineptitude brought to a production standstill. Despite the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) winning a clear election victory in 2008, Mugabe and his henchmen refuse to step down. These images are an attempt to place a human face on what is happening to the majority of Zimbabweans today.
