| description | Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980 and had Mugabe as
its first black president. Thirty-seven years later, Mugabe was,
atypically, ousted from office. There exist controversies around his
thirty-seven-year term. This paper evaluates Mugabe’s policy legacies on
urban poverty and informality in the country’s capital city, Harare.
Desktop research was used to achieve the aim of the study. Key themes
that emerged show that power and intolerance were the main factors
behind Mugabe’s policies and a key reason for the current levels of
poverty and informality. Recommendations on urban management
policies to address African urban poverty and informality were
proposed.
