Pictures by Jongwe Archives, Herald and Ministry of Informallon noon= W1_ _.1.- _ - 11 Tj 0 N _QW E Zimbabwe News VolJ6 No. 5 MaylJune 1985 1 Editorial The Republic of Zimbabwe will shortly be holding its first Post Independence Elections five years after the Independence flame was lit. The Government has taken all constitutional measures necessary to hold free and fair elections. The way the elections are conducted is stipulated in the Election Schedule of the Lancaster House Constitution. It is the Constitution that tells us what to do and not ZANU (PF). There are four bodies that are responsible to ensure that elections are free and fair. 1. The Cabinet Committee on Elections which is chaired by the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Comrade Eddison Zvobgo and consists of four other government Ministers is responsible for organisation of the election process, ensuring that all safeguards are met in order forZimbabwe to hold Free and Fair elections. The Committee which also includes the Minister of National Supplies Comrade Enos Nkala, the Minister of Information, Posts and Telecommunications Comrade Nathan Shamuyarira, the Minister of Security, Comrade Emmerson Munangagwa and the Minister of Home Affairs, Comrade Simbi Mubako has been meeting over the past year making certain that the various committees or commissions charged with the holding of elections are not confronted with unsurmountable problems. 2. The National Election Directorate is a Committee of top ranking civil servants chaired by Mr. Malcom Thomson - the Chairman of the Public Service Commission who was Chairman of a similar committee during the 1980 election which brought independence to Zimbabwe. The other members of the Election Directorate are the Permanent Secretaries in the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs and Local Government and Town Planning, Comrades David Zamchiya and Dr. Mariyawanda Nzuwa respectively, the Registrar-General Comrade Tobaiwa Mudede and the Commissioner of Police. The responsibilities of this committee are to register voters, ensure that the voting system is impeccable and approve Returning Officers, making sure that voting slips are in order, Party Symbols are registered and that all polling booths have all the necessary papers needed for voting. Two point eight million Zimbabweans have now been registered as voters and civil servants of varying levels are now holding regular meetings supervised by the National Elections Directorate in preparation for the forthcoming General Elections. 3. The Delimitation Commission is responsible for ensuring that the 80 constituencies for the common voters roll and the 20 constituencies reserved for the whites by the Lancaster House Agreement are prepared in line with the Constitutional requirements. The commission which is headed by Judge President Wilson Sandura and includes Comrade Tranos Makombe, President of the Senate, Professor Reginald Austin and Mrs. Amina Hughes - member of the Board of Governors of the Zimbabwe Broad- AI A FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS casting Corporation reports directly to the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Comrade Canaan Banana as required by the Constitution and not to the Government. In line with the Constitution the Delimitation Commission which is not controlled by Government, has to make sure that no constituency is ten per cent larger or smaller than another. The Kariba constituency for example, should not have ten per cent more or less voters than Karoi. This is as it is stipulated in the Lancaster House Constitution. Ian Smith, Abel Muzorewa and Joshua Nkomo were at Lancaster and they agreed to this constitution that the government is abiding by. According to the Zimbabwe Constitution, the Judiciary is independent of the government. This is guaranteed in the Lancaster House Constitution. 4. The Fourth and last is the Election Supervisory Commission which is charged with overall supervision and Superintendance of the Elections. This Commission interacts and co-ordinates with other Commissions to ensure that the voters have been registered, the elections are conducted in a free and fair atmosphere and members of the House of Assembly and Senate are elected in the proper manner. Every proposed Bill and Statutory Instrument or Regulation goes to this Commission for comments. The Election Supervisory Commission is entitled to make reports to the President on matters it feels reports should be made and also makes reports when requested to do so. They can receive complaints from individuals, constituencies and political parties. The Registrar-General attends meetings of this Commission in order to provide it with the overall picture of the stage being set for the elections. Since these elections are being held according to the Lancaster House Constitution and not as per ZANU (PF)'s request, it is this independent Commission which advised government to postpone the elections from last March because it felt they would not have been free and fair since a number of constitutional requirements, such as the registration of voters, had not been met satisfactorily. The Election Supervisory Commission is Chaired by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe, Professor Walter Kamba. The other members are Mrs. Muriel Rosin a former member of Parliament, Mr. Patrick Chinamasa lawyer, Bishop Hatendl of the Anglican Church and Mr. J.Z. Gumede who was President of ZimbabweRhodesia regime. Two of its members were appointed by the President on the advice of the Judiciary and Public Service Commission while the other two were appointed on the advice of the Speaker of the House of Assembly. The Government of the Rebpublic of Zimbabwe has been meticulous in seeing that all constitutional requirements have been met. It has left no stone unturned in doing all it can to abide by the Lancaster House Constitution and ensuring that the First Post Independence Elections are truly Free and Fair.

  • Canada Sanctions Zimbabwe
    Canadian Sanctions and Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe: Be Very Careful! By Mark Blumberg (January 7, 2009) Canadian charities operating in Zimbabwe need to be extremely careful. It is not the place for a new and inexperienced charity to begin foreign operations. In fact, only Canadian charities with substantial experience in difficult international operations should even consider operating in Zimbabwe. It is one of the most difficult countries to carry out charitable operations by virtue of the very difficult political, security, human rights and economic situation and the resultant Canadian and international sanctions. This article will set out some information on the Zimbabwe Sanctions including the full text of the Act and Regulations governing the sanctions. It is not a bad idea when dealing with difficult legal issues to consult knowledgeable legal advisors. Summary On September 4, 2008, the Special Economic Measures (Zimbabwe) Regulations (SOR/2008-248) (the “Regulations”) came into force pursuant to subsections 4(1) to (3) of the Special Economic Measures Act. The Canadian sanctions against Zimbabwe are targeted sanctions dealing with weapons, technical support for weapons, assets of designated persons, and Zimbabwean aircraft landing in Canada. There is no humanitarian exception to these targeted sanctions. There are tremendous practical difficulties working in Zimbabwe and if a Canadian charity decides to continue operating in Zimbabwe it is important that the Canadian charity and its intermediaries (eg. Agents, contractor, partners) avoid providing any benefits, “directly or indirectly”, to a “designated person”. Canadian charities need to undertake rigorous due diligence and risk management to ensure that a “designated person” does not financially benefit from the program.

  • Drought and the Politics of Hunger
    CCK- 10 INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Drought and the politics of hunger Casey Kelso #2 Wakefield Lodge Wakefield Road, Avondale Harare, Zimbabwe August 5, 1992 Peter Bird Martin Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheel ock Street Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 Dear Peter: In the notoriously poor Zambezi Valley of northern Zimbabwe, people now eat a murky brown porridge of baobab fruit and silt sifted from dry river beds. The most severe drought of the century in Southern Africa has destroyed their harvests. Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has declared a national emergency and promised that no one will starve, but many people are going hungry. Some of the worst suffering is in the valley's holiday resort town of Kariba, but out of sight from the tourist hotels. About 250 families live in a shantytown on the outskirts of town, where they were dumped during the government's "clean up" frenzy before last year's commonwealth summit here. Locals call the squatter camp "Tatambura," which means "we suffer hardship" in the local Shona language. Others call it "Baghdad," after Iraq's bombed-out capital. Newcomers from the countryside crouch in cardboard shelters alongside the ramshackle "permanent" shacks of wood and corrugated tin. Twelve filthy toilets serve the community of 3,000 people. Flu and diarrhoea are rampant. Desperation shows in the faces of settlement residents. Although many squatters are employed as domestic laborers or work in the fish processing factories on the shores of Lake Kariba, they don't earn enough money to buy food at fast-rising prices.

Karekwaivanane ABSTRACT Given the important role played by lawyers in formal legal systems, the study of legal professionals can help us understand the efforts to maintain law and social order in Africa. This article examines the narratives of two Zimbabwean lawyers, Kennedy Sibanda and Honour Mkushi, about their experiences as legal professionals between 1970 and 1990, and makes three main arguments. Firstly, these narratives are revealing of the complex interplay between individual agency, politics and law across the two decades.

  • Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Political Violence Report: April 2003 OVERVIEW
    ZIMBABWE HUMAN RIGHTS NGO FORUM POLITICAL VIOLENCE REPORT: APRIL 2003 24 May 2003 A report by the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Political Violence Report: April 2003 OVERVIEW The Parliamentary by-elections held in Kuwadzana and Highfield on 29 and 30 March 2003 resulted in organised violence and torture (OVT) within the two areas persisting as civilians, ZANU PF and MDC supporters reportedly descended on and victimised each other for allegedly voting for one political party and not another. Of the political parties in the Zimbabwean political arena, only members from the ruling ZANU PF and the opposition MDC were identified as being victims and perpetrators of political violence during the run up to and the period following the by-elections. Coupled with the MDC mass stay away on 18 and 19 March 2003, as well as the ZCTU mass stay- away on 23 - 25 April 2003, the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum documented a number of politically motivated violations for the month of April. In one case, Richard Munthuli of Bulawayo allegedly grabbed and raped a woman as she passed through the Davies Hall. He allegedly raped her because he was not pleased with the by - election results in Kuwadzana and Highfield, in which the opposition MDC won the two contested seats. ZANU PF youths allegedly arrived at the home of one MDC election agent for Kuwadzana claiming to be policemen, broke down the door, and assaulted the victim and his wife on allegations of voting for the opposition MDC in the parliamentary by-election.

    A campaign A campaign in~itiated by The Africa Fund. TMay 28, 1992 To: Southern Africa Support and Human Rights Groups From: Adotei Akwei, Research Department Re: Drought And Famine in Southern Africa: There is a disaster in the making which will make the famine and drought cases of the 1980s seem mild in comparison. Southern Africa is reeling from the worst drought of the century which may ultimately claim the lives of millions of people. Among the most the most vulnerable as usual are the rural poor, the elderly ,and children. The severe drought caused by the warming of Pacific Ocean currents that affect air pressure and wind patterns known as "El Nino" is wreaking devastation on people already burdened-b inequitable land distribution and wars of destabilization. These wars have cost the region over one and a half million lives and sixty two million dollars in gross domestic product between 1980 and 1988 alone. In addition many of the governments are either in the process of dismantling or reorganizing to accommodate democratic reform and western style economic policies, leaving the majority of their populations without much of a safety net in terms of government resources. Beyond the immediate need for food there is concern about long term damage on the region.The southern African landscape of scorched fields of failed crops stretches from Angola to South Africa and is in danger of becoming a permanent dustbowl. The 10 nation Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) has launched a campaign to encourage international support to combat the famine which will affect close to 30 million people in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
