Abstract:

The report provides empirically supported insight into the impacts and consequences of Operation Murambatsvina. Whilst previous research has focused on homelessness and food insecurity, this survey undertakes a more holistic examination of the impacts of the operation. This report presents findings of an Impact Survey and Situational Analysis carried out in Hatcliffe Extension, Harare. The survey was carried out in the months of November and December 2005, to assess the impact of Operation Murambatsvina and highlights the disastrous consequences on the lives of Hatcliffe Extension residents. The research targeted 4000 households in Hatcliffe Extension, the majority of whom (96.5%) were Zimbabwean citizens. Aliens constituted only 3.3% of the target population. The suggestion is of a sustained war being launched on the most vulnerable Zimbabwean citizens by their own government.
