    Vol. 5(8), pp. 200-207, December, 2013 DOI: 10.5897/JASD2013.0229 Journal of African Studies and ISSN 2141 -2189 ©2013 Academic Journals Development http://www.academicjournlas.org/JASD Review Engendering politics and parliamentary representation in Zimbabwe Thulani Dube Department of Development Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Lupane State University, P.O Box AC255, Ascot, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Accepted 19 August, 2013 This paper discusses the trends and patterns regarding the participation of women and men in parliamentary politics in Zimbabwe from the first democratic elections in 1980 to the 2008 elections in the context of global and regional trends. The main objective of this paper is to review both quantitative and qualitative data concerning the progress made in the direction of promoting women’s participation in politics against the background of Millennium Development Goals targets and other international targets to which Zimbabwe is a signatory. One of the targets of the 3rd millennium development goal is to increase the ‘proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments’. The period of focus is between 1980 and 2013. The paper notes that the current levels of women’s representation in parliament remain below the world average of 19%. The various causes of this are highlighted and discussed leading to recommendations in tackling the issue. Key words: Gender, equality, politics, Zimbabwe, democracy, parliament, participation. INTRODUCTION Zimbabwe is signatory to various regional and inter- decision making positions remains a major concern in national protocols on gender equality particularly in the Zimbabwe and all over the world. In spite of the fact that area of political representation.

  • Civil Society Petition
    PETITION TO ALL MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIARY We, the undersigned People of Zimbabwe, Having analysed the proposed Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No.17) Bill and its implications, Do hereby state the following: The Ammendment has ignored wishes of the Ordinary Zimbabweans as recorded by the Government’s Constitutional Commission. In 1999 Zimbabweans said they wanted to see a reduction of power in the hands of any one person, they wanted a wider Bill of Rights and a totally new and people driven Constitution. When they did not get this they rejected the Government Draft. The Amendment seeks to effectively remove the fundamental rights to property [section 16], secure protection of the law [section 18(1) and (9)], freedom of movement [section 22] and the right to participate in government directly or through freely chosen representatives from the people of Zimbabwe who rely on the Constitution for protection against unchecked State action. It further seeks to reconstitute the Parliament of Zimbabwe as a bi-cameral legislature consisting of a Senate and a House of Assembly, with certain representatives being appointed in an undemocratic manner, which undermines the principle that the authority to govern derives from the will of the people …. It imposes fiscal obligations on the State which, in the current economic climate, will be impossible to sustain and will endanger the lives and livelihoods of the people of Zimbabwe who have just recently emerged from the Clean Up Operation. The Ammendment will not do much to attract investments from both local and foreign investors as it effectively removes security of tenure with respect to property.
