| dc.description.abstract | Socio-economic inequality is deep-rooted in Zimbabwe due to a number of factors chief among them being the exclusion of socio-economic rights as justiciable under the now repealed Lancaster House Constitution (LHC). A plethora of excessive bureaucratic actions in a number of instances left many stranded without the recourse to the law particularly protection by the Constitution. To correct this ยท historic anomaly, the 2013 Constitution was enacted. Significantly, the 2013 Constitution protects both civil and political rights and socioeconomic rights in the same -manner as justiciable rights. This provides the highest degree of interdependence and interrelatedness of all rights in the domestic legal order. In order to ensure that socio-economic rights are effectively protected and enforced, this study. Identifies and discusses the framework for protecting socio-economic rights under the 2013 Constitution. Firstly, it identifies the specific rights protected under the Constitution and the obligations imposed by these rights. Secondly, the study discusses the role of the courts in the protection of socio-economic rights. | |
