The country of Zimbabwe has been faced by multiple threats to its well being and that of its people. This has resulted in the collapse of good governance, socio economic and political. To this end the judiciary system continues to degenerate and this has resulted in an unjust and undemocratic society, with a massive human rights violation and decline of the rule of law. Rule of law also known as supremacy of law states that the law is above everyone and such applies to all people equally .The rule of law is a foundation for both liberties and order in the country at any given time. |
