Abstract

The Constitution of any countryish the most important legal document. It is the highest law of the land in which all other laws get its legality as it is the ground norm. Normally, the Constitution incorporates the wishes and aspirations of each particular state. This signifies that no country can be well administered without having good and strong constitution. Understanding that fact situation, this study assessed the eternity nature of articles9(3) and 80A of the Constitution of Zanzibar,1984 over the sustainability of Zanzibar Government of National Unity with the view of examining to what extent these two important provisions protect the life of Zanzibar Government of National Unity. The study used the doctrinal research method which is the library based research methodology and complemented by comparative methods. Doctrinal legal research relies extensively on using primary and secondary source of law. This is why the study has clearly analyzed various provisions of the Constitution of Zanzibar of 1984 and more specifically articles 9(3) and 80A. The study concludes that articles 9(3) and 80A are not real and strongly an eternity clauses because these articles are simply undermined by the simple and only one provision of article 39(3) of the Constitution of Zanzibar, 1984 and that possibility or reality do not concretely assures the sustainability and life of the Zanzibar Government of National Unity.
