A study of apartheid South Africa's destabilization policy of post-independence Zimbabwe during the 1980s. The study examines the policy's rationale, its successes and failures against Zimbabwe's economic and political vulnerabilities and attempted responses, and how the policy's failure was linked to the collapse of South Africa's apartheid regimeSouth Africa's Apartheid regime saw Zimbabwean independence and black majority rule in 1980 as a major threat to its interests, security and regional hegemony. John Dzimba explains how and why Pretoria sought to destabilise Zimbabwe and other front line states, examining the successes and failures of destabilisation against Zimbabwe's economic and political vulnerabilities and attempted responses. He shows why P W Botha's crisis ridden regime had to drop the policy in 1989. |
