Zimbabwe - Warm heart, ugly face is the story of a traumatic decade
of hyperinflation and its debilitating consequences for the people
of Zimbabwe. It starts with the author's arrival, in the late
1990's, in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second largest city and once the
industrial heartland of the country-before the violent takeover of
the white-owned farms. The author takes the reader through a
ten-year period, from 2000-2009, characterized by centralized
control of all facets of life and of an economy in free-fall, as
well as the desperate measures adopted by ordinary people and by
the business community to survive. In a down-to-earth way the title
paints the day-to-day struggle with lengthy electricity and water
cuts, empty supermarket shelves and dangerous black-market trading
by honest, law-abiding and resilient citizens-just to survive.
Arrests, tragedy, death, fear and intimidation were part of daily
life in Zimbabwe during these momentous years!
