Ziyambi rolls out constitutional awareness programme

Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has launched a constitutional education awareness programme aimed at making the Constitution available to citizens in the country’s 16 official languages.

The Constitution has been available in English language only, which has been considered a barrier to many Zimbabweans, particularly those in rural areas.

But the Justice ministry recently partnered with the Zimbabwe Catholics Bishops Conference to make the Constitution available in all official languages, on the eve of the 2013 Constitution turning six.
