Time for Zimbabweans to practice a new brand of community politics

The deplorable state of national politics is negatively impacting on community development By Akson Potera As I continue from where I left off last week in The Sunday Express new terms continue to be added in the dictionaries and thesauri of the world, community politics is totally an undocumented subject or term. Though the subject is not modern and usually spoken of in politics, no one has yet taken time to peruse much of it. It is a term used by community development practitioners and politicians. Unfortunately very few people have little understanding about the concept and its effects to their daily lives. Worse, the subject is ignored by government authorities and politicians. Community Politics is the study of community interests, needs, differences and relations taking place within a small geographical location.
