About: The claim that abolishing the death penalty in Zimbabwe would require a constitutional amendment, has been rated as false. The Constitution does not make the death penalty mandatory but allows Parliament to make the laws on its use. Therefore, to abolish the death penalty, Zimbabwe will only need an Act of Parliament to repeal the laws allowing for the imposition of the death penalty. Hence the death penalty will be abolished in Zimbabwe if Parliament passes an Act amending section 47 of the Criminal Law Code and repealing sections 337 to 342 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act. The Constitution does not have to be amended.
