On this week in 2012, a significant milestone was reached in Zimbabwe’s history: the completion of the Zimbabwe Constitution draft. This marked a crucial step towards a new era of democracy and governance in the country.
After years of deliberation and consultation, the draft Constitution was finally completed on May 21, 2012. This document would go on to shape the future of Zimbabwe, enshrining the rights and freedoms of its citizens.
Some key aspects of the new Constitution include:
– A bill of rights that guarantees fundamental freedoms and protections
– A presidential term limit of two five-year terms
– An independent judiciary and electoral commission
– Devolution of power to provincial and local governments
The new Constitution was adopted in 2013, replacing the 1979 Constitution and paving the way for a more democratic and inclusive Zimbabwe.
As we reflect on this momentous occasion, we honor the efforts of those who worked tirelessly to shape a better future for Zimbabwe. May their dedication continue to inspire generations to come.
