Abstract

This paper explores the challenges and strategies to political tolerance within multiparty societies, with a specific focus on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region and the case of Zimbabwe from 2017 to 2023. The study aims to understand the significance of political tolerance in fostering democratic practices, social harmony, and sustainable development in the context of a diverse and politically dynamic society. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. It draws on primary data collected through interviews, surveys, and google online questionnaires. The analysis examines various factors that influence political tolerance, including socio-cultural, historical, economic, and political dynamics. The findings of this study contribute to the existing literature on political tolerance, providing insights into its importance in promoting peaceful coexistence and democratic governance. The research highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by multiparty societies in the SADC region, particularly in Zimbabwe, and offers recommendations for enhancing political tolerance and fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect for diverse political ideologies.
