Constitutional Amendments Information

In January 2020, government announced a number of proposed amendments to the Constitution of Zimbabwe. You can read the Bill of the proposed amendments here, and view a simplified list of them here.

The Legal Resources Foundation has prepared a summary of these amendments in English, Shona and Ndebele.

We have a Constitutional Amendments page which we update each time we add new analysis, statements or information about the amendments.

Kubatana is also compiling short briefs on each clause, outlining key arguments about them from different civil society organisations and public commentators:
