Zimbabwe - From Militarism to Constitutionalism - a podcast by BSR: The Podcast

The traditional conception of the state is that it comprises three arms: the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The theory of separation of powers, which is enshrined as a founding value and principle in our Constitution means each arm of the state has defined and separate functions - the legislature makes laws; the executive implements the laws, and the judiciary interprets the laws.

In theory, these arms of the state are supposed to act as checks and balances on each other’s power. The reality, however, is often very different.
