摘要

If traffic jams are any guide to vitality, then Harare is thriving. A local politician in Zimbabwe's capital complains that his commute used to last 20 minutes but now takes twice as long. As the country prepares for general and presidential elections on July 31st, its economy is in better shape than when it last went to the polls in March 2008. Then hyperinflation was raging and goods were scarce. Now the shops are full and prices are stable. The poll offers the best chance yet of ousting Robert Mugabe and his Zanu-PF party after 33 years of misrule. But the odds would be shorter if election preparations had proceeded at the pace of Harare's traffic. Until a few weeks ago it was thought elections would take place in September to allow time for more reforms. But Mr Mugabe wrong-footed the Southern African Development Community (sadc), a regional body charged with smoothing the path to elections, by decreeing an earlier date. An appeal to Zimbabwe's constitutional court to delay the vote by two weeks was struck down. A rushed election will favour the incumbent.
