Addressing Magwegwe constituency residents, one of the organisers of the event Henry Ndlovu urged participants to understand the role of the Constitution so that Zimbabweans can work as one.
“The purpose of this gathering is for us as Zimbabweans to understand the role of the Constitution and how it guides us to live in harmony and peace, according to its dictates,” Ndlovu said.
He said Parliament needed to work hard to align laws in the country with the new Constitution so that people could fully use this legal instrument to their advantage and growth of the country.
“It is imperative that the current Parliament works hard to align the laws in the country with the Constitution for the amelioration and growth of the country,” he said.
The meeting was attended by representatives from various political parties and civic society.
Magwegwe MP Anele Ndebele said he was happy with the attendance and co-operation exhibited by all parties in his constituency in coming together to discuss important issues that would see the country develop.
