Prepared with
reference to the Kariba Draft Constitution (Annexure B to Power-Sharing

for Standard Constitutional Sections, implying that the proposed
African Blueprint shall suit any constitution that comes out of
the People of Zimbabwe.
Sections of
the referenced Kariba
Draft Constitution or similar sections in any other draft which
have not been referred to or amended in this proposal shall remain
as they are.
Constitution
of Zimbabwe with an African blue print
Preamble
"Add the following
to the existing Preamble"
Acknowledging that with
the current global trend of growing corruption, greed or general
moral decadence, lack of sincerity and trust, rise in hypocrisy
among humankind and general rise in poverty among ordinary people
or the voters, a non-conventional approach to governance and democracy
is now a critical requirement than eve r before,
Acknowledging that Zimbabwe,
the land of our fathers is wholly African country and cannot be
administered by law foreign to Zimbabwe but by laws inherent in
African culture or Unhu/Ubuntu,
Acknowledging the supremacy
and efficacy of African culture or Unhu/Ubuntu in morality, hospitality,
general goodliness, sincerity, judicial system, governance system
and leadership selection among other attributes, such aspects of
African culture can be appreciated not necessarily by strangers
but by Zimbabweans to enact provisions of African culture in the
constitution,
Recognizing that African
culture or Unhu/Ubuntu in general has accorded our fathers guiltlessness
among all nations of the world in areas of but not limited to being
no party to annexation of foreign territory, not starting any known
conflict, having no hand in proliferation of arms of barbarism (chemical,
biological and nuclear) and being the most peaceful people for reason
of Unhu/Ubuntu, African people must be seen enacting provisions
of African culture to inspire other nations of the world,
Acknowledging that the
northern democracy model and justice system in application in Zimbabwe
are based on northern models which may be prone to human errors
of judgement, manipulation and are administered at a cost to the
fiscus, it is of immeasurable benefits in cost and efficacy to institute
African Democracy Model referred to hereafter as Matonjeni Democracy
for Leadership Selection, and justice, Legislature and Governance
systems with an African blue print,
Acknowledging cost benefits
of employing the cost free Matonjeni Democracy Model in leadership
selection visa vis financing the current Electoral Administration
and legislature by ploughing into the constituents money and resources
gained or saved to construct dams, irrigation schemes, small business
loans for ordinary people to start their own businesses,
Recognizing
the important role played by cabinet in managing the business aspect
of the country by employing the most qualified professionals or
experts on the Zimbabwean market by floating all cabinets posts
on the job market through the media and also considering the fact
that true leaders and professionals find politics too base to engage.
