“By elaborating on the impact of colonialism and the present state of the Zimbabwean economy in terms of ownership and control,
the evidence on the need for redress of past injustices was provided by most of the papers. Thus there is consensus on postindependence restitution of colonially and racially instituted injustices and inequities. It is, however, on the role of the state, the policy, legislation, institutional framework, implementation
strategy, beneficiaries, etc. of indigenisation that differences have
occurred and around which debate has raged in the 1990s.”
