ABSTRACT
This research was an investigation into the influence of factionalism to political economics.
The study was naturally focused on factional tendencies within ZANU-PF and the
consequences to Zimbabwe’s political economy from 2013 to 2017. In this case, this study
automatically adopted a qualitative research methodology due to its confidential nature and
pre-requisition to directly interact with society and the components under investigation. The
study employed a two-dimensional sample technique sequence including a simple random
participants’ sample and a purposive/judgemental sampling method. In this case, the study
went on to adopt all data gathering methods necessary for collecting qualitative data. The
research revealed that factionalism is in fact a catalyst of economic quagmires in Zimbabwe.
The study revealed that factionalism has orchestrated a policy implementation deadlock in the
country and has been used to create a divide and rule scenario aiding to create a Mugabe
dynasty in Zimbabwe which has further angered the general public leading to a political
violent attempt by the general public to force the resignation of the incumbent Zimbabwean
President. In this case, the study proposes the outright destruction of the ruling party’s
ZANU-PF (factional fights), as the only possible solution to deal with factionalism and its
negative impact on socio-economic development in Zimbabwe.
