[civsoc-mw] Fwd: Names in "Zimbabwe's State Capture"

[Tony Thontholani]

I always wondered of Ruth’s whereabouts. I attended her book reading eons ago in Germany. She was happy to learn that I was from Malawi. She mentioned such names as Aleke Banda etc. 
Nice to read her article.

This dates back to Mugabe and thrives under Mnangagwa. Such beneficiaries are named “rent-seekers”, which is undeserved or unearned profit gained by rent-seekers, which economists define as an “economic rent”.

Too poor to study at a university, she became a self-taught expert on African economics and then a journalist. She was declared persona non grata by the white regime because of her critical reporting and “sanction busting” stories.
