Conclusion It has been a long and difficult journey. From 2009 to 2013 the Select Committee has worked around the clock to ensure that Zimbabweans have a home grown Constitution. When critics were wondering why it was taking this long, little did they know that the exercise was progressive. It required patience, good leadership and tolerance of other people’s views. This process inevitably took time. By comparison with other countries’ experience, the Zimbabwean process has been relatively short. Cultivating that kind of culture requires time. Building a Constitution under the circumstances that prevailed at the time required dedication, commitment and vision to complete the process. We believe, when approved, this Constitution will be good for the people of Zimbabwe. 54 The Constitution Select Committee (COPAC) Report to Parliament, February 2013
