After a short reflection, stakeholders nominated Bishop Ambrose Moyo as the convener for the Bulawayo team. The team will in due course nominate the region's representative in the ARG. As the meeting ended, stakeholders expressed hope and enthusiasm that while the task ahead was not easy, they will make sure that they give each other necessary support to ensure that the transitional justice needs of the country are addressed. The Chairperson noted that a similar process was supposed to be undertaken in all other provinces to make sure that all archival teams would be in place by the beginning of 2018. LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE A lot of work has been done, but more work still lies ahead. At the time this report was compiled, the NPRC Bill had just passed both houses of the National Assembly and awaiting presidential assent. This means the real work is about to commence and stakeholders have to increase the pace. NTJWG has activated critical dialogue with policymakers who today are ready to continue the discussion. About 6 publications have been produced which are essential tools for the ground work. NTJWG will soon commence on the archival work, and continue policy research and analysis. More pieces of legislation will come. The regulation will come. The NPRC Bill is not perfect. All these are areas that require stakeholders to continue with the engagement. NTJWG remains committed to facilitating these crucial interventions until our vision is realised. Meanwhile, together with our stakeholders, we celebrate the milestones of the passing year as we prepare to take advantage of the opportunities ahead. 23 ANNUAL REPORT 2017
