DEBATE on the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill (No. 3) resumes in the National Assembly today, with the House expected to conclude the Second Reading stage this week.
The Bill has already attracted contributions from more than 110 legislators, a record feat, with more MPs expected to contribute as debate draws to a close.
Last Friday, Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said he was likely to respond to issues raised by legislators this week.
“We are still happy to have a couple more MPs, those that are willing to debate again,” he said.
“So, on Tuesday (today), we allow those that want to debate, but once we feel that all the MPs that are willing to debate have debated, I would then give my responding speech, addressing issues that were raised by Honourable members, and that will pave the way for us now to move to the committee stage of the Bill.”
During the Committee Stage, legislators will consider the Bill clause by clause and may propose amendments where necessary.
The Minister may either accept or reject any proposed amendments.
The majority of MPs who have contributed to the debate, including some from the opposition CCC, have spoken in support of the Bill.
Once the Committee Stage is completed, the Bill will proceed to the Third Reading before being transmitted to the Senate for consideration.
Many settled in Zimbabwe’s fertile Eastern Highlands after drought left their home areas unable to support farming.

By Andrew Mambondiyani
Mutare, Zimbabwe – New homesteads cling to the slopes of Zimbabwe’s Eastern Highlands, a fertile mountain region that has become a destination for people fleeing drought-stricken parts of the country.
Many arrived hoping to rebuild their lives on land where crops can still grow. Now they fear they could be forced out as the government intensifies a crackdown on illegal settlements.
Known officially as “illegal settlers” and sometimes derisively as “squatters”, many say they moved here because increasingly erratic rainfall and recurring droughts had made farming difficult in their home areas.
Stretching about 320 km from Nyanga to Chipinge district along the Zimbabwe-Mozambique border, the Eastern Highlands remain one of Zimbabwe’s most fertile regions.
With reliable rainfall, rich soils and an abundance of perennial rivers, the area has become a magnet for thousands of people fleeing increasingly harsh climatic conditions in Zimbabwe’s dry lowlands.
A harvest of hope
“I came here 18 years ago and have been living here ever since. We don’t have anywhere else to go,” Lloyd Gweshengwe, a migrant living in the Eastern Highlands, told Al Jazeera.
This farming season brought him hope.
“I had a very good maize harvest. I’m expecting several bags of maize, enough to feed my family for the whole year. I will sell the surplus,” said the 43-year-old as he stood beside stacks of harvested maize.
But that sense of food security may not last long.
Government tightens enforcement
At a stakeholder meeting last month in Mutare, Zimbabwe’s Minister of State for Manicaland Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Misheck Mugadza, announced a tougher stance on illegal settlements.

He said he had directed the Zimbabwe Republic Police and the National Prosecuting Authority to intensify arrests and prosecutions of traditional leaders, middlemen and government officials implicated in unlawful land allocations.

“There is zero tolerance for corruption,” Mugadza told the meeting. “The Environmental Management Agency must enforce Environmental Impact Assessment requirements and environmental protection laws in ecologically sensitive areas. Wetlands, riverbanks and forests are not for sale. Traditional leaders must operate strictly within the Traditional Leaders Act and report illegal activities to the relevant authorities.”
The government says the exercise is necessary to restore order in land administration, curb corruption and protect the environment from degradation caused by unplanned settlements.
Climate pressure behind migration
On the ground in Manicaland province, the situation is more complex. Many families facing possible eviction say their relocation was not driven by land speculation, but by worsening climate conditions that have made farming increasingly difficult.
Gweshengwe grew up in Village C in Gutaurare, a parched part of Mutare district that no longer sustains rain-fed crop farming. Like many others, he eventually moved to the wetter Eastern Highlands in search of arable land.
“I’m not yet sure what the government is planning to do, but we are begging it to regularise our settlements,” he said. “The demolition exercises have not yet started in our area, but we are hearing in the news what is happening elsewhere.”
Similarly, Simon Chanakira, 44, Gweshengwe’s neighbour, relocated to the Eastern Highlands from the drought-prone Chitora area in search of a better life.
Independent researcher Trymore Maganga told Al Jazeera that illegal settlements in the Eastern Highlands have become a coping strategy for households affected by climate change, even if they are not a long-term solution.
“These settlements leave long-standing land injustices unaddressed, create legal insecurity for migrants, increase environmental and hazard risks, and often generate social tensions,” he said.
Uncertain future
Human rights lawyer Blessing Nyamaropa told Al Jazeera that Zimbabwe lacks a policy framework specifically addressing climate-induced migration.
“Anyone who occupies land without following due process is regarded as an illegal occupier,” he said. “In most cases, people approach traditional leaders, pay something and are allocated land. Traditional leaders do not have that authority.”

He said some migrants have settled on commercial farms without official permission from the Ministry of Lands.

“It is illegal to occupy state land without a permit, lease or offer letter. The government has been invoking the law to have such people arrested and evicted from that land,” he said.
Despite the legal framework, Nyamaropa said enforcement alone cannot resolve the crisis, calling for greater awareness and structured responses to climate-driven displacement.
“There should be an admission by all stakeholders that we have a challenge. Those affected should approach the relevant government departments so that they can be settled legally,” he said.
For now, Gweshengwe continues tending his fields while waiting for clarity on what comes next.

In Hurungwe District, in northern Zimbabwe, land does not just degrade. It retreats.
Forests thin year by year. Soil, stripped of cover, bakes under the sun and washes away in the brief, violent rains that do come. For communities in Ward 7, deforestation has long been less a choice than a survival calculation. Trees are cut for fuelwood, charcoal and the hope of staying warm, staying fed and staying alive. The land bears the cost.
This is the place where Tag a Life International (TaLI) spent years building something different: a restoration model rooted not in external intervention, but in community ownership. The project in Nyamakate Village linked livestock, agroforestry and renewable energy into a single circular system. Pig waste would feed a biogas digester, reducing the community’s dependence on firewood. Less pressure on the forest meant 50 hectares of degraded land could come under active sustainable management. An orchard grew. Community stewardship took hold. The circle was turning.
And then El Niño arrived.
Between 2025 and early 2026, an extended drought swept across the Hurungwe region and threatened to reverse this progress.
Crops failed. Animal feed prices spiked and water sources disappeared. The growing pig population — itself a sign that the restoration model was working — now increased pressure on the existing infrastructure.. And with the demand from the livestock, everything else connected to them: the biogas inputs, the household incomes, even the community’s will to keep protecting land they had spent years restoring.
Restoration, it turns out, does not end the day you plant the last tree. It ends the day a community decides it is no longer worth protecting.
This is the gap the G20 Global Land Initiative stepped into.
TaLI deployed the UNCCD G20 Global Land Initiative Restoration Returns Grants support at exactly the right moment. The grant financed pig feed and veterinary inputs (including vaccines) for six months, keeping the breeding stock alive through the worst of the drought. It funded the construction of a new four-compartment pigsty extension to safely accommodate the growing population and reduce the risk of collapse. And it funded the monitoring and site verification needed to confirm that those 50 hectares were still being managed, still being protected, still holding.
Not one hectare reverted during the grant period.
That number matters more than it might seem. In regions where El Niño brought the kind of stress that pushes families toward the forest, the absence of degradation is not a passive outcome. It is an active one — the result of a community that continued showing up for land they had invested in, supported by funding that understood what was at stake.
As TaLI’s team reflects on what the drought period taught them: restoration is not only about planting trees or building systems, it is about safeguarding livelihoods so that communities do not revert to harmful coping strategies. When livelihoods are secure, the land stays secure too.
Across 35 households and 175 people ( farmers, youth and elders ) the project continued functioning through one of the region’s most difficult climate years. The biogas digester is not yet fully operational; that chapter is still ahead, and further investment is needed to close the circle entirely. But the piggery is stronger than before the drought began. The orchard stands. The restored land was not lost.
The G20 GLI grant did not arrive to transform a landscape. It arrived to protect a transformation already underway; at the exact moment that transformation was most at risk. That is a quieter story than before-and-after photographs can tell. But it is, perhaps, the more honest account of what it actually takes to make restoration last.
In Hurungwe, restoration has come to mean something specific. It is not an event. It is a continuous act of protection, carried out season after season, by a community that has decided the land is worth it; and by partners willing to stand with them when the rains do not come.
This project was supported through the UNCCD G20 Global Land Initiative Restoration Returns Grants. Tag a Life International (TaLI) is a Zimbabwean Girls and Young Women’s Rights organization based in Harare, Zimbabwe. Learn more Restoration Return Grants.

Participatory discussions on land use and environmental change were undertaken in our Masvingo sites in early May 2026. These were conducted in three A1 farms, namely Wondedzo Wares, Wondedzo Extension and Sanangwe in Masvingo district. The discussion of the satellite maps across the sites revealed important insights into environmental change and its sometimes political drivers.
Interpretation of land use and environmental change
The group explored five areas on the maps (2004, 2009, 2014 and 2025), which are marked on the 2009 map below.
Area 1: Participants noted a decline in forest along the Popoteke river and dam. By 2009, riverine forests had been cleared and gardens were established along the river. However, these gardens had disappeared by 2014, and sparse bush has since reestablished. Those gardens were deemed ‘illegal’ by government officials and were therefore banned. Two big community gardens were later established – one for ‘youth’ and the other for women.
Area 2: Participants observed a steady increase in crop lands from 2004 to 2009, and a decline in 2014, with some recovery by 2025. In the first few years of settlement, the new farmers undertook their farming on residential stands as they cleared and destumped extensive outfields. Parents were still straddling between the new resettlement areas and communal areas. “At this time, people were not sure whether they will stay or not. Rumours circulated that we will be evicted one day”, one female participant observed. In 2009, however, there was an increase in cropland as more and more people took up their plots. During this period, the new farmers were now committed to farming. According to participants, the GNU led to economic stability and inputs were relatively affordable. In addition, farmers received state subsidized inputs. However, in 2014, there was a decline in cropland and a reversion to forests. A combination of drought, lack of draft power and manure, reduction of government inputs, ageing of the original settlers and economic instability all affected crop farming. Farmers increasingly devote attention to their homestead stands under pfumvudza, as well as irrigated horticulture made possible through borehole drilling. With good rains in 2025, there was some return to outfield farming, but not as much as before.
Area 3: In 2004, people were still clearing their fields, and engaged in cropping on their residential stands as noted above. By 2009, the new farmers were now much more interested in farming during this period. This was the “climax of farming, where everyone was now fully committed to farming.” 2009 was also a good rainfall year when many farmers had a bumper harvest. Participants also noted dollarisation during the GNU period as a key driver in the increase of cropping. However, as elsewhere, participants noted a decline in croplands in 2014. This was associated with severe drought conditions, causing caused people to concentrate on their small irrigation schemes. The further decline in crop fields by 2025 was attributed to the outbreak of January disease (which saw a decline in herds) as well as drought in the previous year. Despite good rains in 2025, few cultivated their outfields due to lack of labour: “Children of farmers are also migrating away from the farm. Many are now Majoni-joni (migrants in South Africa).” Participants also pointed out that some farmers were abandoning farming in favour of gold mining in Wondedzo mountain. “Everyone these days wants to do gold mining, and expects to pick some gold.”
Area 4: Participants observed a general increase in crop land from 2004 to 2009 in the whole farm, followed by a decline in cropland from 2014 to 2025, with some areas reverting to sparse bush, grassland or forests. According to their accounts, in 2004 most self-contained farmers were absentee land holders, often working in town. Their plots were occupied by workers, who were not engaging in farming substantially. A participant noted, “These were cellphone farmers.” In 2009, participants observed an increase in cropland as many retired from their jobs and took up farming on a fulltime basis. As one male participant observed, “We decided to leave the offices!” However, the participants observed a decline in crop lands in 2014 attributed to the decline to livestock losses due to diseases and inflation after the GNU. Others noted how by then, “Some farmers were now concentrating on cattle production rather than crop farming. Some of these farmers used to cultivate between 10ha and 20ha around 2009, but they were now reducing their cultivated areas in 2014, some reducing to as little as 1ha.” Some have since abandoned the cultivation of their dryland crop fields and are now focusing on irrigated horticulture along Mutirikwi river. Because of all these reasons, participants postulated that the croplands will continue to decline because of lack of financial resources. As one male participant observed, “in five years’ time these farms will be all grasslands or forests because inputs are becoming expensive.”
Area 5: In 2003, the crop land in Sanangwe farm was not big. This is because the new settlers were still very few and were still busy opening up outfields. From 2003, more people were settled formally by government officials and illegally by sabhukus, leading to an increase in the population. As elsewhere, in 2009, we see an increase in cropland, followed by a decline in 2014. One male participant explained: “During this period new settlers were getting aid from the government. Government was assisting us with seeds, fertilisers and tractors. Second, cattle for draught power were plenty.” After this, people began concentrating on cultivating their stands and abandoned outfields, explaining the decline in crop land in 2014. Another female participant added, “Before we were getting everything from the government – seeds and fertilisers. Not a few cups of seeds and fertilisers we now get under pfumvudza these days!” Another noted, “during the 2014 period, this is the time when pfumvudza was widely promoted, and people concentrated their efforts on stands. With reduced herds, this made a lot of sense.”
Contested authority
Cutting across all these discussions of particular sites was a commentary on how contested authority was causing problems. People pointed to particular times when this was particularly acute, while others there was less competition between authorities.
The three farms have had a long history of chieftaincy contestations since settlement, with major implications for environmental change. Soon after settlement, a bitter dispute emerged between Chief Chikwanda and Chief Makore. In 2013, another chief – Chief Musara – was appointed the substantive chief of the area, leading to further disputes. One Sanangwe male participant explained these contestations:
“Initially in this area, we had no chiefs. But as time goes on, we had that we were now under Chief Chikwanda. Soon after that, there was a conflict between Chief Chikwanda and Makore. After that conflict, Chief Makore sort of withdrew, and the area remained under Chief Chikwanda. Again, after a while, we were then told that the area was now under Chief Musara. Why am I talking about this? These chiefs came and changed rules that were put in place by the Ministry of Lands created a lot of problems. It also gave birth to divisions in the area. Because of these divisions, it is very difficult for people to work together or come up with one goal.”
According to participants, these contestations have disrupted community cohesion. “These contestations have led to divisions, with particular groups of people associating themselves with a particular chief”, one participant observed. This has had major implications for the management of natural resources and rehabilitation programmes. Participants noted that each of the chiefs came with their own rules, leading to confusion.
Ongoing contestations over chiefly authority have had some major implications for environmental management, participants explained:
Areas that were once regarded as sacred are no longer so. In Sanangwe there is a perennial pool called ‘Gawa romupunga’ (meaning: pool of rice). According to participants, in the past, rice grew there naturally, but people could not harvest it. “When you pick the rice, it would disappear from your hand”, one participant observed.
The extreme fluctuation in rainfall across years was also attributed to disquiet amongst traditional spirits unhappy about confusions around traditional authority. As one participant put it, “We believe that rains have become unpredictable and low because traditional spirits of the area are not happy because of the chieftaincy contestations that are happening.”
Participants also expressed concern about the difficulties of mobilizing people to participate in community programmes, such as rehabilitating gullies or roads.
Through the discussions, participants particularly stressed that the environment was influenced by local leadership and politics, as one participant declared: “We can’t talk of the environment without taking about the local leadership (utungamiriri)”.
Dynamic drivers of change
The drivers of environmental change are at once ecological (drought, disease) as well as social (ageing, labour availability), technological (irrigation equipment, seed/fertilizer access) and political (contested authority, government programmes support). Changes emerge at particular times in ways that can only be explained by understanding how such drivers intersect at particular moments in particular places. A general story of environmental change (whether of decline or improvement) makes no sense without a deeper understanding of these dynamic interactions within and across particular landscape patches. The final blog in this short series will try and pull some of these wider themes together.

Both Houses of Parliament will be sitting this week, and in this Bill Watch we outline the business both Houses are expected to deal with.
Please bear the following points in mind:
When the National Assembly and the Senate adjourn, they set down all outstanding business on their order papers (i.e. their agendas) for the next appropriate sitting day. There is usually too much to be covered in one day so whatever is not dealt with is postponed to the next appropriate day.
Both Houses of Parliament can change the order in which they consider business.
Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No 3) Bill (CAB3): When the National Assembly adjourned on Friday CAB3 was still undergoing its Second Reading, and this will continue on Tuesday. The Assembly has suspended its standing orders to allow CAB3 to take precedence over all other business, so the Assembly will continue debating the Bill until it has been put to the vote at the end of its Second Reading. If, as seems likely, it passes that vote then the Assembly will probably resolve that the remaining stages of the Bill – the Committee Stage and Third Reading – should be taken immediately. [Note that while the Bill can be passed by a simple majority at its Second Reading and Committee Stages, at its final Third Reading it must be passed by the affirmative votes of at least two-thirds of the membership of the National Assembly – which means that at least two-thirds of all the members of the Assembly must vote for it, not just two-thirds of the members who happen to be present in the House]. Many amendments have been proposed to the Bill and they will be considered at the Committee Stage, so the Assembly seems set to continue dealing with the Bill all through the coming week. Nonetheless, we have listed the other business on the Assembly’s Order Paper in case the Assembly turns to other matters during the week.
