James Makamba

March 30, 2004 – James Makamba.

A recent acquaintance of mine made me aware of the case of James Makamba after she noticed the ‘Act’ item on pressuring the US government to take action on Zimbabwe. I’ve posted some information and links on the Act page.

Mr. Makamba’s case seems to be related more to the ability of the government to control foreign currency earnings than anything else. As noted in one of the pieces linked to on the Act page, Mr. Makamba has been on better footing with the government in the past.

As I observed to the doctoral student who alerted me to this case, the disaster in Zimbabwe becomes more real when you encounter someone directly affected by it. However, I wanted to start a sensitive discussion about Mr. Makamba’s case, as a sort of disclaimer. He is not the typical example of suffering under Mugabe (i.e., a poor landless peasant finding it more and more difficult to get by). Luckily, viagra cipla so are the diagnosis.

The following are some of the most common side free sildenafil samples effects that can be caused are stroke, low blood pressure, heart attacks and even sudden death. He is a wealthy businessman and former politician. His problem seems to be too much success, rather than danger of malnutrition. On the surface, he seems to have more in common with jailed Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

As I’ve been reading so much at SOAS about the role of the state in economic development, development & modernization theory in general, and the role of capitalism in growth and development, it occurs to me as well that what Zimbabwe needs are more Mr. Makamba’s starting businesses and creating growth – along the lines of the ‘Africa’s workers are not exploited enough’ neo-marxist/neo-liberal tradition. It’s clear enough that Mugabe isn’t really concerned with running a developmental state in Zimbabwe. Are those like Mr. Makamba the hope for Zimbabwe’s post-Mugabe economic future?
