SECOND READING
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND
EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL
THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE,
LEGAL AND PARLIAME-
NTARY AFFAIRS: Mr Speaker, the
Bill before the Honourable Members
seeks to amend the Criminal
Procedure and Evidence Act
[Chapter 9:07].
The Act provides for the
procedures to be used in a criminal
case and the admissibility, or
otherwise, of the evidence produced
before a court of law. The Bill will
abolish the preparatory examination
procedure. The preparatory
examination procedure is no longer
in use. The practice, which has been
adopted, has been one of ‘direct
proceedings.’ The amendments
therefore are to recognise a practise
that was long adopted. The Bill will
make other consequential
amendments in line with the abolition
of the preparatory examination
procedure.
Mr Speaker, with the abolition of
the preparatory examination
3

89 Announcements By Mr Speaker 19TH September, 2006 Announcements By Mr Speaker 90
[Mr Speaker]
procedure, certain existing provisions
are being retained but are to be
amended so that they only apply to
the confirmation procedure. Clauses
4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Bill will achieve
this objective. These are on the
powers of the magistrate to order a
parent of guardian to be present at
the confirmation proceedings where
the accused is a juvenile, and
provisions for the securing of a
witness in confirmation proceedings.
The provision excluding the public
from attending confirmation
proceedings will be repealed, so that
these will be held in open court for
the sake of transparency.
Mr Speaker, Clauses 9 to 12 will
repeal and replace the existing
provisions governing the granting of
bail and will codify and reform the
existing law on the granting and
withholding of bail by the courts.
The courts have, on many occasions
in the past, stated the circumstances
under which it is in the interest of
justice not to release an accused
person on bail. The codification of
the circumstances on which bail can
be granted will be beneficial to the
judicial officers, prosecutors, defence
counsel, the accused and the public
at large.
Mr Speaker, currently the Medical
Report Form, which is admissible as
evidence at a criminal trial in child
4
sexual abuse cases, can only be filled
in by a Medical Practitioner. This is
problematic in Rural or District
hospitals where a Medical
Practitioner cannot always be present.
As a measure to by-pass this problem,
Clause 23 of the Bill enables qualified
nurses to complete the Medical
Report Forms, in relation to all
victims of sexual abuse who have
been examined or treated by them.
This will assist in speeding up the
hearing of sexual abuse cases, which
have risen in recent years to alarming
levels.
The Criminal Law Code provides
that in all cases a person convicted
of a sexual offence must be tested
for HIV infection. This provision is
implemented through the medical
practitioners and the difficulty as
stated above, is that these may not
be available. Clause 25 of the Bill
provides that a qualified nurse is
competent to conduct tests upon a
person convicted of a sexual offence.
This is for purposes of simplifying
the enforcement of this mandatory
provision.
Since the preparatory examination
procedure had its own advantages,
certain provisions are being retained
but modified to make up for its
abolition. The evidence led at the
preliminary examinations could be
admissible under certain conditions,

91 Announcements By Mr Speaker 19TH September, 2006 Announcements By Mr Speaker 92
[Mr Speaker]
where the witness was no longer
available. The Bill provides that the
prosecution can verify the depositions
of witnesses made during
investigations so that these can be
used later at the trial in the event that
the witness is not able to give
evidence for any reason. The
provision will be of assistance in
cases where expert witnesses who
made depositions are no longer in
the country to give evidence,
especially in cases of sexual abuse.
Mr Speaker, Clause 29 of the Bill
has been included as an amendment
to the Criminal Law (Codification
and Reform) Act [Chapter 9:23] (No.
23 of 2004) (the Code). The
Amendments seek to improve the
language in the Code and clarify it
where it is vague. Section 114 (7) (c)
of the Code providing for the conduct
and mental elements in a stock theft
case are the same for the concurrent
charges thus the need to amend it to
refer to alternative charges. The
present definition of cannabis in
section 115 of the Code has been
widened to read as in the Dangerous
Drugs Act to include cannabis plant,
prepared cannabis or cannabis resin.
This provision is for the avoidance
of doubt and will ensure that there
are no gaps in enforcing provisions
on dangerous drugs.
5
Mr Speaker, Clause 30 of the Bill
extends the right of legal practitioners
in the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority
(ZIMRA), to appear representing
ZIMRA in any court in civil
proceedings and to appear as
prosecutors in criminal proceedings
to which the ZIMRA is a party, when
authorised by the Attorney General
as the prosecuting authority in
Zimbabwe. This will ensure
expeditious disposal of the cases that
involve ZIMRA and since the legal
practitioners are in the employ of that
authority, the cases will receive
specialised treatment.
The Criminal Procedure and
Evidence Amendment Bill will go a
long way in improving the justice
delivery system in our criminal
courts, especially as regards the
granting of bail and in some respects,
in the hearing of child abuse cases.
The codification of the bail conditions
is a step closer to achieving a
compact, uniform system of granting
of bail by the judicial officers and
will lead to an appreciation of our
criminal justice system by the public
at large.
Mr Speaker, I commend the Bill
to the House.
I have just been advised that the
Portfolio Committee on the Ministry

93 Business of the House 19TH September, 2006 Business of the House 94
[Mr Speaker]
of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary
Affairs has not yet finished its report
on this particular Bill. I had given
them the guarantee that I will
postpone the date on the second
reading to next Tuesday, during
which time I hope they will be able
to complete their report. So,
accordingly I move that debate on
this item be adjourned to next
Tuesday.
Motion put and agreed to.
Debate to resume: Tuesday, 26 th
September, 2006.
MOTION
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE
THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE,
LEGAL AND PARLIAMENTARY
AFFAIRS: May I, with the
indulgence of the House, move that
Order of the Day Number 2 be stood
over until Order Number 3 has been
disposed of.
Motion put and agreed to.
SECOND READING
GAZETTED LAND
(CONSEQUENTIAL PROVISIONS
BILL)
6
Third Order read: Second reading:
Gazetted Land (Consequential
Provisions Bill).
THE MINISTER OF STATE
FOR NATIONAL SECURITY,
LANDS, LAND REFORM AND
RESETTLEMENT IN THE
PRESIDENT’S OFFICE: Mr.
Speaker Sir, I beg to move that
the Gazetted Land (Consequential
Provisions Bill), 2006, be now read
for the second time. In doing so Mr.
Speaker I want to commend the
Government of Zimbabwe for undertaking
the Land Reform Programme
which among other things served to
economically empower our people
in the following ways:-
• decongestion of the overpopulated
villages
• indigenization of the Large Scale
Commercial farming sector
through allocation of land under
A2 resettlement model, small
medium and large Scale
Commercial Settlement Scheme
• reduction of the extent and
intensity of poverty among rural
families by providing adequate
land for agricultural use
• the promotion of environmentally
sustainable utilization of land
through agriculture and ecotourism

95 Business of the House 19TH September, 2006 Business of the House 96
[HONOURABLE DIDYMUS
MUTASA]
• the development and integration
of small-scale farmers into the
mainstream of commercial
agriculture and
• the creation of conditions for
sustainable economic, political
and social stability in the country.
Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I go into
the details of the Bill itself it will
be necessary to remind ourselves of
what we are talking about. Here we
are talking about land and the
progress so far made in the areas of
Land Acquisition, Compensation,
Resettlement, Planning, Land Audits
and Lease Processing. In the area of
Land Acquisition, over 11 million
hectares of land was acquired thanks
to the recent Constitutional
Amendment (No. 17) Act, of 2005,
which effectively barred legal
challenges in respect of agricultural
land compulsorily acquired for
resettlement purposes. All land
gazetted became state land. Hon.
Members, in the area of land
allocation, significant strides have
been made in resettling a total
of 231 251 families under Models
A1 and A2 on 10 462 162 hectares
of land.
The major challenge now is to
ensure that the new beneficiaries are
7
productive on their pieces of land.
For this reason Model A2 Land
Audits are being carried out in all the
eight provinces i.e. Manicaland,
Mashonaland Central, Mashonaland
East, Mashonaland West, Masvingo,
Midlands, Matabeleland North and
Matabeleland South provinces. The
land audit was conducted in order to
establish the plot take-up rate, assess
levels of land utilization and identify
problems being faced by Model A2
farmers, among other things. The
audits have been completed in
Manicaland, Mashonaland West and
Matabeleland North provinces and
audit reports have since been
produced.
In order to give security of tenure
and confidence to the new farmers
for them to invest more in their farms,
the Ministry will start issuing
lease application forms to Model A2
beneficiaries who have a minimum
of three years of production on the
farm. The Agriculture Land
Settlement Board has already
inspected 96 Model A2 farmers.
Successful Model A2 farmers will
be issued with 99-year Lease
Agreements soon.
With regards to the issue of
compensation, 206 farmers have
since been compensated for
immovable improvements. The
Government is compensating

97 Business of the House 19TH September, 2006 Business of the House 98
[HONOURABLE DIDYMUS
MUTASA]
previous farm owners for immovable
improvements excluding land. The
acquisition of farm equipment and
material is done in respect of idle
equipment only. It is only in the case
of farms covered by country to
country Agreements that
compensation is paid for both land
and immovable improvements.
Currently, my Ministry continues to
urge farmers whose farms have not
been compensated to approach the
Ministry so that they are compensated
for their immovable improvements.
Mr. Speaker Sir, Honourable
Members of Parliament might recall
last year when the Constitution of
Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 17)
Act, of 2005, which came into force
on the 14 th of September, 2005 was
effected, this changed the legal
procedures in respect of the
compulsory acquisition of agricultural
land for resettlement purposes. The
Constitutional Amendment, Mr
Speaker also provided for the
nationalization of the land that had
been identified for acquisition under
the Land Acquisition Act (Chapter
20:10), but that was not the end of
the matter, there was need to bring
the current Land Acquisition Act into
line with the Constitutional
Amendment (No. 17) Act, of 2005,
8
to repeal the Rural Land occupiers
(Protection from Eviction) Act
[Chapter 20:26] (No. 13 of
2001) and to address sections relating
to compensation for improvements
which were left undetermined, and
this is one of the principle objectives
of the Gazetted Land (Consequential
Provisions) Bill, of 2006, now
before you for the second reading
Honourable Members.
Honourable Members will note
that, it was also provided in the
Constitutional Amendment,
specifically Subsection 6 of Section
16B as follows "An Act of
Parliament may make it a criminal
offence for any person, without
lawful authority, to possess
or occupy land referred to in this
section or other state land,"
accordingly the other principle
objective of this Bill is to give effect
to that section of the Constitution.
This Bill is intended in part to deal
with the continued occupation of
gazetted land without lawful authority
by former owners and other
illegal land occupations. The Bill
seeks to make it punishable by
law to hold, use or occupy a piece of
land that was gazetted for
resettlement purposes without lawful
authority in the form of an offer letter
from the Minister of Lands, Land

99 Business of the House 19TH September, 2006 Business of the House 100
[HONOURABLE DIDYMUS
MUTASA]
Reform and Resettlement. In order
to deter the continued illegal
occupation of land after the expiry
of the prescribed 90 days notice to
vacate, offenders will be given a
sentence not exceeding seven days
and would be evicted from the farm.
As all honourable members are
aware, the Ministry is having
problems evicting former farm
owners, who continue to utilize the
land after the prescribed 90 days
notice to vacate is over. These
have made it difficult for our people
whom we have issued offer
letters to move and engage in farming
operations. All those still on
farms without offer letters will be
prosecuted for contravening the
Land Acquisition Act (chapter 20:10).
If a farmer was served with
an Acquisition Order and is still
operating on the farm, he will be in
defiance of the Acquisition Order and
thus can be prosecuted. Of late Mr.
Speaker, these former farm owners
were taking the Ministry to court
challenging the evictions and
generally refusing to move out of the
state land, as a result most of the
farmers allocated land under A2
resettlement programme are still to
move onto the land.
The Bill also addresses the issue
of unlawful fresh farm occupations.
In the same instance, Honourable
Members the Bill also seeks to repeal
the Rural Land Occupiers
(Protection from Eviction ) Act
[Chapter 20:26] ( No. 13 of 2001).
Prior to this amendment, this Act
allowed and protected everyone who
was occupying land without an offer
letter. It protected our people from
harassment and possible evictions by
former white farmers, but the
situation has since been regularized
through the issuance of offer letters
to all those on state land. No one will
now claim protection under this law.
Honourable Members, the Bill will
give us the powers and sufficient
scope to resolve this aspect of the
land reform programme once and for
all.
Honourable Members will note
that this Bill, validates all offer letters
issued by the Minster of Lands,
Land Reform and Resettlement.
This is a welcome development as
some farmers had to endure court
action on validation of offer letters,
a process which was both
cumbersome and unnecessary as it
affected production on farms and
served to instill fear and insecurity
in our farmers. As regards, the issue
of compensation, the Bill states
9

101 Business of the House 19TH September, 2006 Business of the House 102
that, compensation is payable for
improvements as defined in
terms of the current Land Acquisition
Act, though the land is being
acquired undersection 16B of the
Constitution.
Mr. Speaker Sir, as stated in many
a fora on land, there is no going back.
The die is cast. The Ministry has
accepted its mandate and obligations
that acknowledge the fact that the
current problems on land should be
solved and the Bill seeks to do just
that. It was through Government's
recognition that some sections
of the Land Acquisition Act, that
no longer applied to the compulsory
acquisition of agricultural land be
amended to suit the currents needs
and challenges of the Land Reform
Programme, accordingly, the
Government considered that only an
Amendment to the Zimbabwean
Constitution itself could bring about
a definitive conclusion to the process
of acquiring agricultural land for
resettlement. All in all it is my view
that the Land Reform Programme is
setting down in terms of problems
and I have no doubt that any
anomalies that remain can be
corrected successfully. Mr. Speaker,
Sir, I move that the Bill be now read
for the second time.
MRS MISIHAIRABWI
MUSHONGA: On a point of
order, we can hardly hear what the
hon. Minister is saying.
MR SPEAKER: Minister, can
you raise your voice.

quite a number of hon. members are

done consultations in respect of the
request that I am making.
