Abstract

Political violent behaviours characterize much of African politics and has psychologically caused diverse perturbations in the psychological stamina of the individual by posing debilitating effects such as trauma amongst other effects. It is in Zimbabwe and particularly in Zaka district that elections have been characterized by political violent behaviours hence this has prompted research to find a deep understanding of the phenomena of violent behaviours in Zaka district. The research used a qualitative approach to research, interviewing three respondents who are survivors of political violence in an ethical frame to have a deep insight of causes of political violence. Findings from this research revealed violent behaviours resulting from multiple sources some of which are unemployment, presence of party youth soldiers, political indoctrination among a plethora of causes. These issues call for structural rebuilding of institutions which enforce and maintain order during elections, setting up political ethics committees which censor political parties which foment violence. In issues of political violent behaviours it is for the best interest of the aspirations of the people of Zaka, Zimbabwe and researchers that more is done to understand this phenomena psychologically so as to understand the harm it poses to people.
