A.      Because the president rules the country like a dictator

 In African countries like Zimbabwe where corruption exists, the power has been converted to tyranny. Information deficit is fairly common. People do not have freedom of expression. Mass media like newspapers, television and radios cannot exercise this freedom thus not being able to function as the watchdog of the public. Investigative journalism almost does not exist. The government is also the largest employer in these countries. They seize the opportunities to buy state properties at low prices. When the economy grows, it opens more chances for the government to get kickbacks such as in building projects that are poorly supervised.
