Section 105: Cabinet
Constitution of Zimbabwe
(1) There is a Cabinet consisting of the President, as head of the Cabinet, the Vice Presidents and such Ministers as the President may appoint to the Cabinet.
(2) Cabinet meetings are presided over by the President or, in his or her absence, by a Vice- President or, in their absence, by a Minister referred to in section 100(1)(c).
Insight on Cabinet Structure
This section establishes a clear leadership hierarchy within Zimbabwe's executive branch. The President maintains ultimate authority as head of Cabinet, with Vice Presidents and appointed Ministers forming a chain of command. This structure ensures continuity of government operations even when the President is unavailable, as it explicitly defines who assumes the role of presiding over Cabinet meetings in the President's absence.
