Abstract This paper argues that the democratisation process in Zimbabwe has been halted by the inability of ZANU-PF to transform itself from a liberation political movement to a functional, democratic political party. The adherence of ZANU-PF to socialist party organisational structures and management procedures stifled the development of credible and strong political opposition in the history of multi-partyism in Zimbabwe.
