The Zimbabwean Members of Parliament whose names are crossed out on this voting sheet voted NO against Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3. Those whose names are not crossed out voted YES. As can be seen from the list, every ZANUPF MP present in the National Assembly voted in favour of the bill. ZANUPF was short of the numbers required to secure the two-thirds majority needed to amend the Constitution on its own. However, it received crucial support from opposition MPs, including many who entered Parliament through the recalls orchestrated by political charlatan Sengezo Tshabangu, as well as some MPs elected on the CCC ticket in August 2023. The final result was 216 votes in favour and 42 against, giving the bill the constitutional majority required to pass the National Assembly and proceed to the Senate. The vote will reignite debate about the role played by opposition MPs in determining the future of Zimbabwe’s Constitution, particularly on a bill that seeks, among other things, to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office.

The Tungwarara gift is meant to thank Rutendo for destroying Tagwirei particularly with that Mliswa audio. It has nothing to do with trying to silence him. To chlorinate, it has been tied to Mnangagwa’s name and one expects that Rutendo will ease up a bit on ED. That however, is not the game plan. Tagwirei’s people have already seen through it and Mutisi was the first to express the hope that Rutendo would also stop attacking Tagwirei. Unless Rutendo is a cheap idiot, he must not ease up on Tagwirei and change “his winning formula”. I need cleansing for even calling it a formula. Makunyiwe nonetheless!
