Abstract
The article investigates the challenges hindering the implementation of the SADC Protocol against corruption in Zimbabwe. Utilising a qualitative approach and documentary analysis of newspaper articles and publications, the study identifies political interference, underfunding and inadequate human resources as the primary obstacles. A number of obstacles affect the effectiveness of anti-corruption bodies while insufficient funding limits operational capabilities and resources. Furthermore, the scarcity of skilled personnel hampers the comprehensive enforcement of anti-corruption measures. These findings underscore the need for structural reform and enhanced support to effectively combat corruption in Zimbabwe and see the successful implementation of the protocol.
