country otherwise it risks being ignored and its role will be taken over by more credible entities.
In our Minimum Standards for an Effective NPRC, we have stated clearly that ‘the legitimacy of
the NPRC does not end with its constitutionality, but perpetuates in the manner in which it is
going to conduct its work’. (NTJWG, 2015)
5.0 Conclusion
Transitional justice is about prevention. Saying ‘Never Again’ to atrocities. The developments of
2018 have paved way for a potentially progressive 2019 as regards transitional justice processes
in Zimbabwe. With the bold steps taken by stakeholders at the symposium, calls for national
dialogue gathering momentum in Zimbabwe and the adoption of the transitional justice policy
framework by the African Union, there is a fertile ground for the implementation of transitional
justice in Zimbabwe. Both official and non-official processes, state and non-state actors can
complement each other in driving transitional justice in Zimbabwe. The international
community is encouraged to support Zimbabwean stakeholders in ensuring that the current
momentum in the push for transitional justice is not lost.
