Dear friends and colleagues,
Please join me for a Cato luncheon with Sen. David Coltart. Mr. Coltart has been a human rights lawyer in Zimbabwe since 1983. He was first elected to Parliament in 2000 and re-elected in 2005. In 2008, he was elected as a Senator. Mr. Coltart was sworn in as Zimbabwe’s Minister of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture in February 2009. He is a member of the Movement for Democratic Change, and a long-time opponent of Robert Mugabe and the ruling ZANU-PF. Mr. Coltart will update us on the political and economic developments in Zimbabwe since the power-sharing agreement between the MDC and ZANU-PF came into force in early 2009, and prospects for peaceful elections in the near future. The luncheon will take place on Wednesday May 23, 2012 at noon at the Cato Institute. Please send affirmative replies to mandersen@cato.org.
With thanks and best wishes,
Marian
