    Abstract
    The research traces and analyses the Zimbabwean jurisprudence in cases dealing with the constitutionality of the Presidential Powers (Temporary Measures) Act. It identifies five Zimbabwean cases which dealt with the constitutionality of the Act.

The study aims to look at the appropriate standards of judicial review in cases dealing with the lawfulness of the Presidential statutory powers. It desires to discuss the settled judicial review standards that are used to review the constitutionality of the Presidential statutory powers in jurisdictions of best practice. The research also targets to analyse the theoretical foundations underlying judicial reasoning. It seeks to critically review how the Zimbabwean judiciary has interpreted the Constitution when adjudicating cases dealing with the legitimacy of the Presidential statutory powers.
