  1. Hi again to everybody!!!

    After our 2 classes with the presentations, I share with you the information I've gotten about Zimbabwe.

    I rescued the most important things I presented to you yesterday.

    -Zimbabwe has ten administrative provinces.
    -Each province has a Governor (Resident Minister) who is appointed by the President.
    -The role of the Governor is four fold namely:
    a)political,
    b)consultative,
    c)developmental,
    d)co-ordinative.

    The controversial information as we talked yesterday is the next one:
    -Local government is concerned with local democracy and the decentralization.
    -Democratic rights.
    -In rural areas Zimbabwe has urban councils (that are not elected by the population).
    -General elections are held every four years (are made by a chairman).

    Finally a little more information about Zimbabwe that shows to us also a young State:

    Capital: –and largest city- Harare
    Government: semi presidential, parliamentary, consociationalist republic
    President: Robert Mugabe
    Independence: from the United Kingdom
    Proclaimed: November, 11, 1965
    Recognized: April, 18, 1980
    Population: 13,349,000

    If you want more information about "the local government systems of Zimbabwe" you can try the official web site:
