Might the political change in Harare finally enable one of Africa's most blighted economies finally to achieve its potential?

Presenter Ed Butler charts Zimbabwe's downfall over the past two decades, and asks what opportunities the apparent end of the Mugabe era might herald - from mining to agriculture to a highly educated middle class. Nick Donovan of pressure group Global Witness and Dr Tinashe Nyamunda of Cambridge University discuss one such industry - diamonds - while William Attwell of consultants Frontier Strategy Group gives an inkling of what kind of economic management those now in charge of the country may bring in.
