| Popis: | In 2017, Zimbabwe recorded a military intervention that left President Mugabe out of office. The replacement government has created a raft of controversial measures and policies. The study therefore explored the implications of the coup to policy formulation and execution vis-à-vis the rights and security of the people. The study followed a democratic governance framework. It focused on demonstration participants and active soldiers during the coup. Twenty civilian demonstrators and ten soldiers were sampled from Harare which was the centre of the coup. Data were analysed using Narrative Latent Content method. The study established that policy formulation is driven by both emotions and the desire to protect committers of the coup from possible accountability. It also established that in-order to safeguard its interests, the regime has crafted repressive laws that are however unsustainable. |
