Constitution of Zimbabwe

The Constitution of Zimbabwe is the supreme law of the country. It outlines the structure and powers of the government, as well as the rights and freedoms of its citizens. The current constitution was adopted in 2013 and replaced the previous constitution, which was based on the Lancaster House Agreement of 1979.

Some of the key features of the Constitution of Zimbabwe include:

  • Declaration of Rights: This section outlines the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Zimbabwean citizens, such as the right to life, liberty, and security of the person; the right to equality; the right to freedom of expression; and the right to property.
  • Structure of Government: The Constitution establishes a presidential system of government, with the president as the head of state and government. It also establishes a bicameral parliament, consisting of the National Assembly and the Senate.
  • Independent Judiciary: The Constitution guarantees the independence of the judiciary, ensuring that the courts can operate without interference from the executive or legislative branches of government.
  • Devolution of Power: The Constitution provides for the devolution of power to local government authorities, giving them greater autonomy in the management of local affairs.

The Constitution of Zimbabwe is a complex document that has been the subject of much debate and controversy. However, it remains the fundamental law of the country and provides a framework for the governance of Zimbabwe.
