Corruption has now been officially acknowledged as one of the greatest cancers abetting Zimbabwe's sharp economic decline.

At the ruling ZANU-PF party's Extraordinary Congress last week, Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono named it as one of several factors responsible for the nation's economic woes.

Analysts say, however, that in spite of this official recognition of the problem, the government is not expected to try to stem the scourge of corruption as so many officials are themselves involved.
