Criminals on the South African side also use this open border to smuggle stolen vehicles in to Zimbabwe.

Illegal immigration into South Africa from Zimbabwe is also enabled by this porous border.

In South Africa, and the Western world in general, the liberal democratic paradigm is progressively coming under scrutiny. Many of these challenges originated in a new wave of populism, of both the left and right-wing variety, gaining momentum in the West and the global South. I therefore did my Master’s thesis on the topic of redistributive populism, a strand of left-wing populism, as well as private property rights. In this discussion I provide a brief overview of my findings.
My thesis addressed the following question: Is redistributive populism a sustainable long-term policy path for economic growth, poverty and inequality reduction, and for democratic consolidation, or is protecting and enforcing property rights a better alternative to achieve these aims? In order to find an answer, I compared four case studies: Venezuela and Zimbabwe, as examples of redistributive populist regimes under which property rights were substantially eroded; and Uruguay and Botswana, as examples where property rights were protected and enforced.
