Our Constitutional Journey

From the 1999 Commission to the 2013 Promise.

1999: The Constitutional Commission

The President appointed a commission to draft a new constitution, but the process lacked the standards for a people-centered document.

2000: The People's Rejection

Following a campaign by the NCA, the draft constitution was massively rejected by the people of Zimbabwe in February 2000.

2013: A New Dawn

On May 22, 2013, after years of consultation and a referendum where 3 million citizens voted "Yes," the current Constitution was promulgated (Amendment Act 20).
