Synopsis

A Balancing Act examines the impulse, growth and development of an NGO, which has steadfastly sought to bring law to the people of Zimbabwe over three turbulent decades. Through a study of its outreach, publication, advocacy and education programmes, the author Mary Ndlovu implicitly explores the social, economic and political framework of society and the state that determined the LRF’s trajectory.

Review

The LFR has truly walked the talk and become a shining beacon in an environment that is more polarized than ever before as a direct result of politically induced and retrogressive socio-economic policies which the beleagured Zimbabweans have had to endure during the last 36 years. – Muchadeyi Ashton Masunda
