This section establishes that Commissions in Zimbabwe have independent legal status. As "bodies corporate with perpetual succession," they exist as legal entities separate from their individual members, can own property, enter contracts, and participate in legal proceedings independently. This structure ensures Commissions can function continuously even when membership changes, providing institutional stability and accountability in governance.
