MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora has asserted that his party was the first to challenge the 2030 agenda, emphasizing its firm stance against what he calls the "desecration of the Zimbabwean Constitution". MDC-T Mwonzora added that President Emmerson Mnangagwa and ZANU-PF are misusing national resources by pushing for two referendums as a strategy to cling to power all at the expense of ordinary Zimbabweans.

MDC leader and constitutional lawyer Douglas Mwonzora says, by Zanu PF's own argument, Constitutional Amendment No. 3 affects the Bill of Rights because it alters Section 67, which guarantees political rights, including the right to vote and to stand for office.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa was stunned yesterday by Zanu PF youths who told him that while his own generational mission was to fight the liberation struggle, as he had said during his address at their national assembly gathering in Harare, theirs was to support Constitutional Amendment Bill N0.3 (CAB3)!

#Mnangagwa2030MissionImpossible The chorus that President Emmerson Mnangagwa's 2030 project is mission impossible is fast growing as his supporters intensify their unpopular campaign for him to extend his rule beyond his 2028 second term constitutional limit to 2030. Prominent lawyer Douglas Mwonzora, the undertaker on the once-main opposition MDC which he seized from colleagues before burying it six feet under in the general elections last year, once again further explains the issue, saying Mnangagwa's bid is mission impossible.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa's political allies are not relenting - at his behest - on pushing for his to stay in power beyond his second term constitutional limit to 2030. Pro-Mnangagwa war veterans league activist Douglas Mahiya says Zanu PF is bigger than an individual, a clear reference and attack on Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga and his party faction opposed to the 2030 agenda.

The Zimbabwean Parliament has adjourned until tomorrow. This is ZANUPF Member of Parliament Perseverance Zhou. This is the quality of debate that unfolded this afternoon in Zimbabwe’s Parliament as MPs debated the controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which seeks to extend Mnangagwa’s term of office to 2030. It was a bootlicking festival led by the President’s most enthusiastic sycophants. In this video, she compares Emmerson Mnangagwa to French football superstar Kylian Mbappé and argues that Mnangagwa should not step down in 2028 when his term of office ends. Using a football analogy, she suggests that Mnangagwa should not be stopped because he is already in the 18-yard box and close to scoring. This is what Zimbabwe’s constitutional debate has been reduced to. Instead of discussing the long-term implications of altering the Constitution, strengthening democratic institutions, and protecting the principle of term limits, Parliament is being treated to football analogies designed to justify extending the tenure of a sitting president. Whether one supports or opposes Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, Zimbabweans should expect a higher standard of debate from lawmakers entrusted with shaping the country’s constitutional future.

An hour ago, I was on South Africa’s public broadcaster, the SABC News News discussing the implications of Zimbabwe’s new law, Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which came into effect two days ago. The amendment extends President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office by an additional two years to 2030, removes the direct election of the President by citizens and transfers that responsibility to Parliament, and effectively removes the elections that had been scheduled for 2028. We also discussed what these changes mean not only for Zimbabwe but for the entire region, particularly South Africa, which has borne the brunt of migration from Zimbabwe, both legal and illegal, driven largely by the country’s prolonged economic and political crises. What happens in Zimbabwe never stays in Zimbabwe. Political instability, economic decline, and democratic backsliding inevitably have consequences for neighbouring countries. That is why Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 is not merely a Zimbabwean issue; it is a regional issue with far-reaching political, economic, and social implications.

Thank you, Tsitsi, for asking about the Mwonzora issue, it is an important historical point to note and it must be explained too. The MDC-T went to congress in 2014 and elected Thokozani Khupe as its Vice President. Following his cancer diagnosis, Morgan Tsvangirai was approached by General Engelbert Rugeje, who advised him that his party was too important an institution to be left in the hands of Thokozani Khupe in the event that he did not win his battle with cancer. He then unconstitutionally appointed two Vice Presidents, Nelson Chamisa and Elias Mudzuri, on 15 July 2016. Advocate Eric Matinenga, who was the MDC-T Constitutional Affairs Minister during the GNU and is still one of Zimbabwe’s top lawyers, wrote an advisory paper to Tsvangirai, stating that the appointments were against the party’s constitution, which clearly said the Vice President must be elected at congress, not appointed by the President. The appointments stood until Morgan Tsvangirai’s death in February 2018. According to the MDC-T’s own constitution, the person to take over was supposed to be Khupe. However, Chamisa and the top six did what they did, and Chamisa took over. Mwonzora became a creation of that 2016 unconstitutional appointment by Tsvangirai, after Khupe took the matter to court and won and but then lost to Mwonzora at their congress. As I said in my previous tweet, ZANUPF owes us nothing. It is our duty not to create avenues for ZANUPF to manipulate. ZANUPF exploited these divisions, as is often the case in politics, but did not create them. The MDC-T’s internal legal and constitutional issues opened the door for ZANUPF! It is also important to note that many of us warned of the dangers of these appointments, but the cultic following Tsvangirai enjoyed was often abused—at times even through violence—to silence anyone within the party who objected. Even ZANUPF, with all its power, actually amends its constitution when it wants to make changes like those introduced by Tsvangirai. Mnangagwa amended the constitution to remove the running mate clause to deal with his “Chiwenga problem”, and Mugabe amended the ZANUPF constitution when removing Joice Mujuru and appointing Mnangagwa in her place.

Hon. Ziyambi states that Parliament will now transmit the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Bill (CAB3) to His Excellency President Mnangagwa for assent and signature. Once assented, the Bill will be gazetted and become part of the Constitution. He notes that the timing depends on how quickly the Bill is transmitted, adding that the President normally assents to Bills promptly upon receipt.

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki yesterday delivered a striking reflection on African leadership while speaking at an event commemorating NEPAD, using a historical anecdote from Zambia that carries strong parallels with the growing controversy around Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3). Mbeki recalled how former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba once attempted to extend his stay in power by seeking a third presidential term in violation of Zambia’s constitutional framework. According to Mbeki, leaders within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) quietly intervened to stop the move in defence of constitutionalism and democratic order. He said regional leaders at the time looked among themselves for someone with the moral authority and political credibility to confront Chiluba directly. They settled on former Botswana President Festus Mogae, whom Mbeki described as clean and respected. Mogae was then tasked with delivering a firm message to Chiluba that the region would not tolerate the undermining of constitutional term limits. Mbeki used the story to argue that Africa’s leadership standards have sharply declined, saying the continent has regressed and no longer demonstrates the same collective political courage that once existed within the region. His remarks inevitably draw parallels with developments in Zimbabwe, where critics argue that CAB 3 seeks to fundamentally reshape the country’s democratic framework while creating pathways for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his political influence and remain in power beyond existing constitutional limits. Indirectly, Mbeki’s remarks amount to a devastating commentary on the current state of leadership in Southern Africa. The former South African leader was effectively suggesting that today there is no respected regional statesman willing, or able, to stand up and stop what is unfolding in Zimbabwe. The regression Mbeki spoke about is now visible in real time, where regional leaders increasingly watch constitutional manipulation unfold in silence, avoiding confrontation while democratic institutions are weakened before their eyes.

Congratulations to Zimbabwean legal scholar Dr Justice Mavedzenge on his appointment by the President of Seychelles to lead an independent commission of inquiry in that country. Dr Mavedzenge recently debated the legality of Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Amendment No. 3 being passed without a referendum with Professor Jonathan Moyo, where he came out on top of the argument and helped many people understand how constitutional amendments work. He is a Professor of Law at the University of Cape Town. It is encouraging and inspiring to see compatriots being recognised for their intellectual abilities, and as Zimbabweans, we should celebrate such achievements. Well done, brother Justice A Mavedzenge 🙏🏿🙏🏿
