B. Mrs. Sibusisiwe Zembe: Vision for Peace and Reconciliation in Zimbabwe Mrs. Zembe gave the background to the establishment of the Organ of National Healing and Reconciliation and Integration (ONHRI), which came into effect after the signing of the Global Political Agreement (GPA) in 2008 which established a government from 2009 to 2013 which included all three main political parties. Its mandate was to achieve the restoration of the dignity of all Zimbabweans regardless of age, gender or creed; to achieve peace, stability, unity and prosperity for individual Zimbabweans, their families, communities, organisations and the country as a whole. Under the heading “Promotion of Equality, National Healing, Cohesion and Unity”, Article VII (1)(c) of the GPA stipulates that the signatory parties “shall give consideration to the setting up of a mechanism to properly advise on what measures might be necessary and practicable to achieve national healing, cohesion and unity in respect of pre and post-independence political conflicts”. This led to the establishment of ONHRI for this purpose. In working towards the establishment of the infrastructure for peace, ONHRI conducted consultations with a number of stakeholders who included traditional leaders, faith based organisations, civil society, business, women and youth groups as well as political parties in the Inclusive Government, among others. It adopted participatory, grassroots-based and inclusive approaches to respond to the specific needs of the people of Zimbabwe in order to get their views on the type of an infrastructure for peace they wanted to be established. The overall consultations culminated in the production of the draft Zimbabwe National Policy Framework for Peace and Reconciliation (ZNPFPR), which was adopted by Cabinet as a precursor to the creation of the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission. The ONHRI also successfully lobbied for the provision of the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) in the new constitution and it became one of the five “Independent Commissions Supporting Democracy” set out in Chapter 12 of the new Constitution. Mrs. Zembe noted that the Zimbabwe's peace architecture recognises that there is no single player who can resolve all conflicts across the breadth of Zimbabwe, but rather, there are a number of stakeholders including the NPRC itself, other Government structures, traditional leaders, civil society organisations, youth organisations, women's organisations, faith-based organisations and the private sector, who can play synergistic roles in conflict prevention, management, resolution and transformation whilst the NPRC would be the facilitator. In Mrs Zembe's opinion, NPRC will not only respond to the specific historical experiences and current needs of the people of Zimbabwe, but also re-affirm Zimbabwe's adherence to 6 The Second International Conference on Transitional Justice in Zimbabwe
