Abstract
Many Zimbabweans experienced its 18 April 1980 independence of Zimbabwe as ushering in an era of hope. However, it is shown that events like Operations Murambatsvina and Makavhotasei, the Land Reform Program, and the Economic Structural Adjustment Program significantly and negatively impacted on the initial hope of independence. The study traces and explores the potential of Moltmanns work on hope for the Zimbabwean context. It is concluded that Moltmanns work can make a constructive contribution the meta-discourse on hope in Zimbabwe. This is specifically the case with reference to the way in which Moltmanns theology of hope integrates the role of history, Gods promise in a comprehensive eschatological framework, grounded in his Christology. © 2012 University of Pretoria.
