Do Zimbabweans really trust NGOs more than they do religious leaders?
Zimbabweans trust non-governmental organisations more than they do religious and traditional leaders, courts and the President. According to a survey by Afrobarometer released on Thursday, 79% of those polled said they trusted NGOs, slightly higher than 78% that said they trusted religious leaders. Only 48% said they trusted the President but this did not mean that the majority did not as only 45% did not. Three out of every five people did not trust the police with only 38% saying they did. Only 36% said they trusted the Zimbabwe Revenue but 44 % did not. The Afrobarometer survey was conducted from 16 April to 1 May this year with a sample survey of 1 200. The report gives a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. (3 VIEWS)
