Answer:
Because the president rules the country like a dictator.
Explanation:
African countries did not develop culturally to the point where Democracy was a logical decision of how to proceed. In fact, the African countries were divided with complete disregard on how the continent was before colonialism, which left many countries in constant cultural and violent wars. This instability goes in the opposite direction of progress, which causes many places to be ruled because of military power and strict laws that benefit those on top. In Zimbabwe, the president acts more like a totalitarian dictator than as a president of a republic as we know in the west.
