Zimbabwe, like many African countries, is experiencing and will continue towitness an increase in older age, hence questioning its readiness to handle such change. Ageingin Zimbabwe is currently occurring in the context of increasing poverty, political unrest,changing family structures, and weakening infrastructures. Despite this, Zimbabwe is committedto promoting change and betterment for its citizens through adherence to international agendasand national development strategies. However, the first step towards the realisation of aninclusive urban environment begins with a fair representation of the various actors and socialgroups. This review paper is aimed at examining the representation of Zimbabwe’s older people,a subject that has rarely been the focus of critical analysis, concentrating on the politicaldiscourse in urban development programmes.A sample of 45 international and national policy documents published post-2002, was carefullyselected and inspected to determine the level of presence of older people using discourseanalysis. The findings reveal that in the context of the efforts made towards a Zimbabwe that isinclusive of all citizens, the idea of older persons as subjects of rights and active participants hasyet to truly gain sufficient currency. There is a dominance of a one-dimensional perspectiveacross the majority of the publications, with older people constructed as “dependent”,“vulnerable” and “passive”, overseeing vital contributions to society. A realistic and moreempowering representation of this social group, showing them as active caregivers rather thanpassive recipients is therefore a necessity if Zimbabwe is to fulfil its vision of inclusivity.Source: © 2021 by the authors.
