Zimbabwe Is Writing a New Constitution of Reconciliation

Two years ago, Zimbabwe was one of the most unstable countries in Africa. A wave of politically inspired violence left hundreds dead and divided the nation.

Now Zimbabwe has a new government and is on the verge of writing a new constitution.

Zimbabwean Christians are using this time of peace to lay the groundwork for what they hope will be a model nation for reconciliation and healing. CBN News was there as this network of believers embarked on their quest to restore their country.

The dignitaries are seated. The foreign diplomats are in place. The press corps make their final checks. The band leader gets his cue.

Seconds later from a side door, the president, prime minister, heads of cabinet, members of parliament and other high-ranking government officials file in. 

This is a big moment for Zimbabwe. The African nation is launching a three-month outreach to get the views of ordinary Zimbabwean citizens on the writing of a new constitution.
