Zimbabwe’s cabinet has supported proposed legislation to end the death penalty.

Information Minister Jenfan Muswere said that the cabinet’s decision was made following countrywide consultations.

Should parliament approve the bill, life imprisonment will serve as the maximum sentence.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has previously criticized capital punishment.

Zimbabwe’s death penalty is a remnant of a colonial-era law. The country has not carried out an execution since 2005.
