The situation in Matabeleland rapidly improved. | | | December 1993: Matabeleland's top legislator Sydney Malunga, Matabeleland's governor, and the mayor of Bulawayo alleged discrimination in jobs and training against the Ndebele. | | | Following elections, the government pursued its goal of a one-party state, with reprisals against supporters of minority parties. |

| | Suddenly, Matabeleland matters to Mugabe |
| | DEVELOPMENT projects at a scale and magnitude never witnessed for decades are underway in rural Matabeleland, courtesy of a frustrated electorate’s decision in 2000 to vote for the opposition in the landmark election that nearly took the wind out of the governing Zanu PF party’s sails. | | | For the past 24 years, aged Zanu PF leader, Robert Mugabe and his henchmen have sought to isolate the region, after a dismal failure to cow residents of Matabeleland during the genocidal anti-dissident campaign starting in 1982. | | | Now with hindsight, the governing Zanu PF party has pulled all the plugs to endear itself with the electorate in Matabeleland, who overwhelmingly spurned Robert Mugabe’s party in general and presidential elections in 2000 and 2002. |
