This article assesses the dilemma that the parliament of Zimbabwe faces in contributing to the formulation and execution of Zimbabwe's foreign policy. The Constitution of Zimbabwe is clear, stating that "all institutions and agencies of the state and Government at every level are accountable to Parliament". During the period 2000- 2017, Zimbabwe embarked on high politics in which the executive made vital, high-level impact decisions, which ordinarily should not escape the attention and sanction of parliament, including Zimbabwe's decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth in 2003. Several scholars portray parliament of Zimbabwe as a weak, if not the poorer and less helpful cousin of the three arms of the State. This tag has been made because of the tilt in balance by the existence of what in many Scholars view, as powerful dominant executive. This article will unravel the structural efficiencies and deficiencies impinging the interface between the two institutions and proffer recommendations for a healthy tension between the two arms of state.
