Insight: Executive Authority in Zimbabwe
This section establishes the democratic foundation of Zimbabwe's executive power, emphasizing that all executive authority ultimately comes from the citizens. While the President holds executive power, this isn't absolute - it must be exercised within constitutional limits and through the Cabinet, creating a system of checks and balances rather than unlimited presidential authority.
