Lawful Coups and other Legal Developments in Zimbabwe in 2017 and 2018

Abstract

This paper provides a commentary on some legal developments in Zimbabwe in 2017- 2018, at the end of the Mugabe Presidency and the ushering in of the Second Republic. It notes how a change of regime initially facilitated by the military was in court found to be legitimate and highlights some of the early legislative changes of the Second Republic.
