Draft constitution through

Harare Bureau

THE draft Constitution is expected to be ready for referendum today after the House of Assembly yesterday adopted a motion on the report on the Constitution-making process and noted the new charter, with the Senate expected to do the same today.

President Mugabe will then be expected to announce dates for the referendum soon.

In the meantime, Copac would have to conduct awareness campaigns on the draft for people to vote from an informed position during the referendum.

Legislators in the House of Assembly broke into song and dance after Speaker Mr Lovemore Moyo announced the adoption of the motion.

Backbenchers from all parties in the House showed a sense of unity during the debate by congratulating Zimbabweans and the Copac leadership for producing the draft despite the numerous problems that were encountered during the initial phase of the process.
