Zim constitutional amendments indispensable
by Elijah Chihota
The current Constitution of Zimbabwe came through the Constitutional amendment number 20 of the Lancaster House constitution in 2013 following an extensive nationwide consultation process. The 1979 Lancaster House Constitution which had been adopted in 1980 was amended 19 times before the adoption of the new national charter in March 2013. The new Constitution came about after thousands of outreach Constitution Making Process meetings were held across the country where people expressed what they wanted to be included in the supreme law of the land.
