    Microfinance Regulation and Supervision in Zimbabwe: A Critical Overview
    (Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences MCSER Publishing, 2016-01) Makuyana, Tsanangurai
    This paper critically evaluates the key provisions of the new Microfinance Act in Zimbabwe and other related pieces of legislation. The study is not an exposition of debates and theories about microfinance regulation and supervision in general but one focused on a specialized piece of law and its related institutions. The aim of the study is to evaluate the regulatory framework at place for microfinance business in Zimbabwe in order to establish the extent to which the growth of the microfinance sector is promoted from a legal point of view. The classical legal research method was employed in this study wherein a critical analysis of the law was done and leveraged through a review of related literature. The paper concludes that a new specialised microfinance law in Zimbabwe is a welcome development although certain aspects of the law still need improvement.

    Some Aspects of the New Microfinance Law in Zimbabwe
    (MCSER, 2017-05) Makuyana, Tsanangurai
    This paper analyses the new Microfinance Act [Chapter 24: 29] in order to reveal the shortcomings in the law and to suggest areas of possible improvement. The study was carried out using a purely desktop legal research method wherein a critical review of the piece of legislation was done against the theory surrounding microfinance business principles. The study concluded that the new Microfinance Act in Zimbabwe has a considerable number of shortcomings born out of both drafting loopholes and outright lack of thrust of principles promotive of the growth of the microfinance sector in the country.
