As a scientifically unitary state founded on people’s unity With 8 geographic countries in the countryside called provinces And 2 administrative urbansteads known as metropols All in all the central government reigns supreme
Zimbabwe is a devolved unitary state
It is governed as a single devolved state Unlike federal overdevolved states which lack proper nationahood Having complicated overdevolved nationalities in one nation Where the centre can not properly represent a united nation Zimbabwean people’s power builds up a united nation
The Zimbabwe constitution recognises 10 administrative divisions
Sub-national units which exercise the powers delegated by government Such power is delegated through devolution to provinces By statute the government oversees devolved governments Through ministers of state for provincial affairs and devolution
Devolved government in Zimbabwe is symmetrical
All sub-national units have the same powers and status The people possess and exercise checked autonomy Making their own bylaws which tap from the national laws Local rules rule according to higher laws of the state
