THE SHORTCOMINGS OF THE KARIBA DRAFT CONSTITUTION write a constitution for themselves. If the Draft were enacted, it would establish a government that would be dominated by the Executive. Parliament, the Judiciary and numerous public offices and bodies would be subject to political manipulation and control. Many of the fundamental rights and freedoms to which Zimbabweans are entitled would not be protected. For these reasons, the Kariba Draft should play no role in constitution-making in Zimbabwe. The country’s political leaders should publicly reject the use of the Kariba Draft as the basis for constitutional reform and embrace people-driven solutions to Zimbabwe’s crisis of governance. 8
