The first full year of the post-Mugabe era, dubbed the ‘new dispensation’ and ‘the Second Republic’ by the new leadership, began with goodwill and optimism. The country enjoyed a raft of freedoms that distinguished it from the previous regime. However, an acrimonious election campaign, a hotly disputed election, and the killing of civilians after the election, dragged the country back to the reality of polarisation, economic problems, and accusations of illegitimacy and human rights abuses. A new policy of re-engagement with the West seemed to have marginally improved relations. Foreign relations with Africa and most of the global South remained good, but there was little progress with multilateral lenders. Some socioeconomic indicators improved, but the economy did not bounce back as anticipated.
