Abstract:This article is the first of a two-part study on the evolution of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) in the 1990s. This first part covers the period 1990-1995, when the labour centre was in its most radical mode. This is demonstrated by tracing its interventions in the public debate, its mobilization and democratization campaign, and its escalating strike action. It is argued that the weaknesses of the ZCTU, especially its lack of organic roots outside the formal sector and its dependence on foreign donors, set the stage for a significant change in its ideology and strategy.
