Abstract: 

In 'The Rise of Youth Activism and Non-violent Action in addressing Zimbabwe's Crisis,' Zimbabwe has experienced different forms of conflicts since independence in 1980. It is appropriate to apply a systems approach for us to unpack Zimbabwe's conflict to date. Zimbabweans have experienced structural and cultural violence. Structural violence equates to social inequality and leads to impaired human growth and development. Cultural violence is the rhetorical excuses that usually follow government's failure to act or deliver on ensuring that its citizens live good lives in all spheres.'
