The Zimbabwean National Assembly which is the lower chamber of the bicameral Parliament of Zimbabwe has approved the Electricity Amendment Bill.
Clause 2 of the Bill introduces harsher penalties for the illegal abstraction or diversion of electricity and removes the option to pay a fine, except in special cases.
Clause 3 introduces heavier penalties for the transportation of material used in electricity generation, transmission, distribution or supply, and removes the option to pay a fine. Instead, a person convicted of such a crime will be liable to a minimum of 10 years’ imprisonment.
However, the Court can consider special circumstances that might justify a lesser penalty. <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">The Bill</a> aims to discourage illegal activities related to electricity and promote the sustainable supply of electricity in <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe</a>.
Electricity property theft remains a significant problem in Zimbabwe, with copper cables being a common target due to their high value on the black market. This problem is driven by high unemployment and economic hardship. It is suspected that most of the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">stolen cables</a> are smuggled to neighbouring <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">South Africa</a> and then shipped further to countries that use the metal in the construction and manufacturing industries.
Theft of copper cables from power and <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">telecommunications infrastructure</a> results in significant financial losses for companies and can lead to widespread power cuts and communication disruptions. Vandalism to electricity infrastructure such as transformers and cables has also been reported to contribute to power cuts across the country.

Zimbabwean Parliament Approves Electricity Amendment Bill With Harsher Penalties

The Zimbabwe National Assembly has removed a clause that allowed employers to terminate permanent staff contracts with just three months’ notice. This action was taken after the country’s Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that companies could end staff contracts at any time without offering them compensation, provided they received at least three months’ notice. The ruling led to an increase in terminations of employment without disciplinary action, and had been considered a burden to the country’s labour laws.
During debates on the Labour Amendment Bill, the Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi, agreed to remove the requirement of notice. The Bill also proposed the use of “labour brokerage arrangements” to be removed, as it was deemed to be modern-day slavery.
In his submission, Harare East legislator Mr Tendai Biti said the import of the Zuva Petroleum judgment was to create an untenable situation on the labour law in the country. He said:
<blockquote>
When that happened, labour law died because what is the point of having a disciplinary hearing when you can simply give three months’ notice? We need to go back to the status quo. We need to go back to the old position where you cannot terminate on notice. In other words, we need to remove no-fault termination and go back to fault termination to protect workers. You are allowed to employ seasonal workers, but a normal industrial worker should only be terminated on fault. That means that the only no-fault situation is retrenchment
</blockquote>
During discussions on the Labour Amendment Bill in the National Assembly, opposition CCC legislators proposed amendments for paternity leave, which were rejected by Minister Ziyambi. However, the Minister agreed to remove a Clause on “labour brokerage arrangements” after legislators argued that it was a form of “modern-day slavery.” These arrangements involve a middle-man employing their own workers who are then sub-employed to a third party, such as cleaning services. The Bill was passed in the National Assembly and will now be sent to the Senate for approval.
The Zimbabwean National Assembly also passed two other bills: the Electricity Amendment Bill and the Children’s Amendment Bill. The Electricity Amendment Bill aims to impose deterrent sentences for those who vandalize electricity infrastructure, while the Children’s Amendment Bill aligns the Children’s Act with the Constitution and international conventions to strengthen child protection.
The Parliament also continued discussions on the Electoral Amendment Bill, with lawmakers agreeing that there was duplication of duties between the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) and the Registrar General in voter registration and document issuance. The Registrar General’s office was suggested as a solution as it issues national identity documents. However, any changes would require a constitutional amendment. Minister Ziyambi suggested that the Delimitation Commission be separated from the electoral body to avoid conflicts during elections, but any changes would be kept in mind for future parliamentary sessions.

Zimbabwe Removes Clause Allowing Employers To Terminate Contracts On Short Notice

Cabinet has approved the Electricity Amendment Bill, 2022, which seeks to impose stiffer penalties for the abstraction or diversion of electricity to deter would-be offenders.
Addressing journalists during a post-Cabinet briefing in Harare on Tuesday, 10 May, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa, said the Bill was presented by the Attorney-General, Prince Machaya, on behalf of the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs. Said Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>
Cabinet considered and approved the Electricity Amendment Bill, 2022, which was presented by the Attorney-General, Honourable Prince Machaya, on behalf of the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs.
The Bill introduces stiffer penalties for the abstraction or diversion of electricity or the use of such electricity knowing that it was illegally abstracted or diverted.
The Bill will also remove the option of a fine when one is convicted of the crime. 
Furthermore, the Bill introduces stiffer penalties for the transportation of material used in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution or supply of electricity without the option of a fine.
</blockquote>
Last year, the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) recorded over 1 200 cases of vandalism. Added Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>
ZESA is suffering huge losses due to theft and vandalism of the national electricity infrastructure.
In 2021, ZESA recorded 1 237 cases of theft and vandalism, resulting in huge losses of revenue, which could have been used for development.
The Amendment Bill will deter would-be offenders through stiffer and mandatory sentences.
