ABSTRACT
This study is aimed at unveiling the challenges that have been faced by Zimbabwe in the 21st century. This study mainly focuses on the challenges that have had a negative impact to peace and in some instances reconciliation. The research branched out the challenges into economic, social and political categories so as to create a proper path of how they affect peace. In other sections of this research the dimensions of the categories shape shift into two distinct parallels which are external and internal affairs in explaining their effect to peace. The study is not new, there‟s availability of vast literature and researches over the years on this subject hence several scholar writing and their line of thinking were visited in coming up with the conclusion that was drawn in this study. It is important for the challenges to peace to be clearly researched and stated so that drawing ways of resolving these problems can be possible. In the research economic meltdown of Zimbabwe in 2008, political violence prior or during election time and memories of Gukurahundi came up as the pillars that seemed to ooze or give birth to most of the challenges to peace in Zimbabwe in the 21st century. This study came up with a lot of recommendations on different topics and categories, some of the recommendations to the challenges faced in Zimbabwe are to employ Multilingualism in schools as a compulsory part of the curriculum in schools so as to breakdown tribal walls built by language barrier and differences Sanother recommendation is to democratize the society by implementing morals in politics to do away with things like corruption these are the few points just to create a picture of what is in the research, fully detailed explanations and points are in the research
