The president of the Republic of #Zimbabwe @edmnangagwa explains to @SABCNews that #CAB3 would not create a President who can rule for 37 years like the former President Robert Mugabe who came to power as the country's first Prime Minister in April 1980, transitioned to the role of President in 1987, and remained in office until he resigned in November 2017. The Constitution would still require leadership renewal after the completion of the maximum two terms. Whether the terms are five years or seven years long, the principle remains the same: no President would be permitted to continue beyond the constitutional limit. The purpose of extending term length is not to create permanent leaders but to provide greater continuity for long-term national projects such as dams, highways, railways, power stations, industrial parks, and other infrastructure initiatives that often take many years to complete. From this perspective, the debate is not about removing term limits but about balancing leadership continuity with constitutional safeguards. @matinyarare @nickmangwana @ZANUPF_Official @Varakashi4ED @SimangalisoDub5 @Varakashi4edByo @MulakazuvaL @Mwenemutapaland @GromykoMkoma @IanSmiththe3rd @PastorCG1753511 @MrMuvezwa @zenzele @EasyGp1 @Hon_Kasukuwere @advocatemahere @Jamwanda2 @matinyarare @dereckgoto @OpenParlyZw @Varakashi4edByo @Stevie_J_CAN @ProfJNMoyo @ProfMadhuku @nelsonchamisa @bla_bidza @daddyhope @DrNkuSibanda @amutambara @moyo_archford @Vie_matongo @Kmutisi

If football is ultimately about people, passion, atmosphere, and cultural connection, Africa remains one of the most powerful hosts in world football. At a time when the global game is increasingly affected by geopolitics, immigration disputes, and international tensions, Africa continues to remind the world of what many fans cherish most: football as a celebration of humanity, community, and shared joy. When Africa hosts major competitions such as the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the focus is overwhelmingly on the game itself. Fans travel across borders with a sense of continental brotherhood and shared identity. Music fills the streets. Local cultures are celebrated rather than hidden. Entire cities embrace visiting supporters as guests rather than security concerns. One of Africa's greatest advantages is the atmosphere. AFCON is not simply a football tournament; it is a celebration of African identity. Stadiums become festivals of song, dance, colour, and national pride. Rivalries remain intense, but they are often accompanied by a strong sense of continental solidarity. A supporter from Zimbabwe may cheer for Zimbabwe first, but when their team exits, many continue supporting fellow African nations. As the 2026 FIFA World Cup unfolds against a backdrop of visa disputes, diplomatic tensions, immigration controversies, security concerns, and public demonstrations across parts of North America, many football lovers are beginning to ask a fascinating question: has the world underestimated Africa's ability to host football tournaments that are not only successful, but deeply memorable? The comparison is striking. The United States, Canada, and Mexico possess world-class stadiums, advanced transport systems, and enormous economic resources. Yet the build-up to the 2026 World Cup has been dominated as much by politics as by football. Ghana's Thomas Partey has faced visa complications preventing participation in matches in Canada. Somali FIFA referee Omar Artan found himself caught up in immigration and security procedures that ultimately prevented him from officiating at the tournament. Iran's participation has been overshadowed by geopolitical tensions, visa disputes, ticket allocation controversies, and the unprecedented situation of a host nation navigating relations with a participating country amid serious international tensions. Beyond these controversies, large-scale demonstrations and political protests in parts of the United States and Mexico have created additional headlines, reminding the world that football tournaments do not exist in isolation from domestic and international politics. By contrast, African football tournaments have often been defined by something entirely different: unity through football.

The Most Chaotic World Cup in History? Politics, Visas and Geopolitics Overshadow Football - Long before a ball has been kicked in anger, the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup was already threatening to become one of the most controversial and politically complicated tournaments ever staged. Instead of discussions being dominated by tactics, star players and title contenders, headlines have increasingly focused on visa disputes, diplomatic tensions, immigration controversies and even active geopolitical conflicts involving participating nations. The irony is striking. FIFA has long promoted the World Cup as a platform that transcends politics, religion and ideology. Yet the build-up to the 2026 tournament demonstrates that football cannot entirely escape the realities of the modern world. National security concerns, international conflicts, immigration laws and diplomatic disputes have all found their way into what is supposed to be the world's greatest sporting festival. Perhaps the most high-profile controversy concerns Ghanaian star Thomas Partey. Despite being one of Ghana's most important players, Canada denied him entry to the country ahead of Ghana's opening fixture in Toronto. The decision was reportedly linked to pending criminal proceedings in the United Kingdom, despite the player maintaining his innocence and pleading not guilty. The move triggered outrage in Ghana, with officials describing the decision as unfair and inconsistent with the spirit of international sport. The extraordinary situation means a player cleared to train and compete in the United States is simultaneously barred from entering another host nation participating in the same World Cup. Equally astonishing is the case of Somali FIFA referee Omar Artan. In a development that stunned many within football circles, the respected official was detained for hours upon arrival in Miami before his visa was revoked. As a result, he was forced to miss the World Cup entirely despite being one of Africa's most recognized referees. Ironically, shortly thereafter he was appointed to officiate major UEFA competitions, raising further questions about the handling of the matter. The most significant challenge, however, involves Iran and the United States. For the first time in modern World Cup history, a host nation finds itself simultaneously hosting a country with which it is experiencing severe geopolitical confrontation. The consequences have been dramatic. Iranian officials have reported visa denials affecting federation personnel, uncertainty surrounding access to tournament venues, ticket allocation disputes and logistical disruptions that forced the national team to relocate parts of its preparations outside the United States. What should have been a celebration of global unity through sport has instead exposed the difficulties of staging a truly international tournament amid growing geopolitical divisions. Beyond these headline controversies lie broader concerns. Immigration policies differ among the three host nations. Security screening procedures have become increasingly stringent. Diplomatic disputes continue to influence travel arrangements. Questions remain about how FIFA can guarantee equal treatment for all participating nations when host-country domestic laws and foreign policy considerations intersect with international sporting obligations. These controversies will ultimately never fade even once the tournament has began and one thing is already clear: before the first trophy is lifted and before the first champion is crowned, the 2026 FIFA World Cup has already secured a place in history as one of the most politically complicated and potentially chaotic tournaments the world has ever witnessed. @KingJoash2 @FIFAWorldCup @moorspunter @Zimsoccer @DynamosFC1963 @capsunitedfczw @caf_online_AR @CAF_Online @Iran @IranIntl @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @fifamedia

CAB3 Unstoppable said Hon. Chalton Hwende a prominent Zimbabwean opposition @CCCZimbabwe politician and the current Member of Parliament (MP) for Kuwadzana East in Harare. ''Now I see the same leaders resorting to circulating clips of MPs who are opposing the bill during debate, falsely creating an impression that the bill can be stopped. The same cheerleaders failed to even submit email submissions. They think daily attacking or asking MPs their position on CAB 3 will stop the bill. No, far from it. We need to self-introspect." @matinyarare @nickmangwana @ZANUPF_Official @Varakashi4ED @SimangalisoDub5 @Varakashi4edByo @MulakazuvaL @Mwenemutapaland @GromykoMkoma @IanSmiththe3rd @PastorCG1753511 @MrMuvezwa @zenzele @EasyGp1 @Hon_Kasukuwere @advocatemahere @Jamwanda2 @matinyarare @dereckgoto @OpenParlyZw @Varakashi4edByo @Stevie_J_CAN @ProfJNMoyo @ProfMadhuku @nelsonchamisa @bla_bidza @daddyhope @DrNkuSibanda @amutambara @moyo_archford @Vie_matongo @Kmutisi

According to constitutional law scholar Professor Lovemore Madhuku (@ProfMadhuku), who was among the most vocal critics of the Bill during its formative stages – “Today the constitutional question before the nation is no longer whether a referendum is legally required, but whether the proposed amendments will obtain the necessary parliamentary support to complete the remaining legislative stages prescribed by the Constitution. In light of the fact that Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3) has, to date, successfully navigated the requisite constitutional and legislative procedures prescribed under Zimbabwean law, the question of whether the Bill ought to be subjected to a national referendum has, from a legal standpoint, effectively been settled. The legal landscape fundamentally shifted once the proposed amendments underwent the mandatory 90-day nationwide public consultation process and the competent courts subsequently pronounced themselves on the referendum question. The extensive public consultation exercise provided citizens, civil society organizations, churches, professional bodies, traditional leaders, and other stakeholders with an opportunity to scrutinize and make representations on the proposed constitutional amendments. Following that process, the matter proceeded through the appropriate legal channels where the judiciary was called upon to determine whether the Bill triggered the constitutional provisions requiring approval through a referendum. Professor Madhuku has consistently maintained that the authority to interpret the Constitution and determine whether a proposed amendment falls within the category of amendments requiring a referendum rests exclusively with the courts. As he correctly observed, the constitutional mandate to make binding determinations on such questions is vested in the Judiciary, particularly the superior courts charged with constitutional interpretation. In relation to Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, the courts determined that the provisions contained in the Bill, including proposals concerning the method of electing the President and the restructuring of electoral cycles, do not trigger the constitutional threshold requiring submission of the Bill to a national referendum. As a consequence of that judicial determination, the legal pathway for the Bill now lies squarely within Parliament, where constitutional amendments are required to secure the prescribed two-thirds majority in accordance with the Constitution. The issue of a referendum, therefore, ceases to be a matter of political preference and becomes a matter conclusively settled through constitutional adjudication by the competent courts. Having satisfied the consultation requirements and having received judicial clarification on the referendum question, Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 must now proceed through the remaining legislative stages before it can attain the force of law. Firstly, the Bill must complete its Second Reading in Parliament, during which Members debate the underlying principles, objectives, and constitutional implications of the proposed amendments. Secondly, the legislation must proceed to the Committee Stage, where Parliament undertakes a detailed clause-by-clause examination of the Bill and may consider amendments to specific provisions. Thereafter, the Bill must pass its Third Reading and secure the constitutionally mandated two-thirds majority in both the National Assembly and the Senate. Upon successful passage through both Houses of Parliament, the Bill will be presented to the President for assent in accordance with the Constitution. Presidential assent constitutes the final executive step in the legislative process. Following assent, the amendment will be published in the Government Gazette, at which point it will become part of the Constitution of Zimbabwe and acquire full legal force and effect. @matinyarare @nickmangwana @ZANUPF_Official @Varakashi4ED @SimangalisoDub5 @Varakashi4edByo @MulakazuvaL @Mwenemutapaland @GromykoMkoma @IanSmiththe3rd @PastorCG1753511 @MrMuvezwa @zenzele @EasyGp1 @Hon_Kasukuwere @advocatemahere @Jamwanda2 @matinyarare @dereckgoto @OpenParlyZw @Varakashi4edByo @Stevie_J_CAN @ProfJNMoyo @ProfMadhuku @nelsonchamisa @bla_bidza @daddyhope @DrNkuSibanda @amutambara @moyo_archford @Vie_matongo @Kmutisi

Do you know that USA President Donald Trump appointed three Supreme Court Justices to lifetime terms: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett and also appointed over 200 judges to the federal appeals and district courts. In America federal judges and the Chief Justice are nominated by the president and must be confirmed by the Senate. Trump did, also , significantly reshape the federal judiciary during his first term.

The recent spectacle of ED presenting a massive agricultural mechanisation package—including a tractor, truck, and commercial farming tools—to the recently retired Chief Justice Luke Malaba at State House is a deeply troubling confirmation of judiciary capture in Zimbabwe.

@Mabhunu14 @ThandiweMaZ @edmnangagwa @SABCNews NATO functions as an instrument of Western hegemony that perpetuates global conflicts rather than mitigating them andis the primary catalyst for recent global instability. Dont tell me its African Presidents who lead NATO iwe Mabhunu ka love yako yemabhunu isadaro

@ThandiweMaZ @ChirauMel @edmnangagwa @SABCNews Oooh okay its the party not the whole citizenry of Zimbabwe. Too bad.

NATO and its Presidents - NATO is the primary catalyst for recent global instability. NATO's post-Cold War expansion into Eastern Europe aggressively encroached on Russia's historical sphere of influence, fundamentally altering regional security dynamics. NATO-led campaigns outside its traditional borders—such as the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia and the 2011 intervention in Libya—as destabilizing actions that caused extensive civilian harm and shattered local governance. NATO functions as an instrument of Western hegemony that perpetuates global conflicts rather than mitigating them.

@ThandiweMaZ @ChirauMel @edmnangagwa @SABCNews No opposition in parliament, those you think are opposition infact are Zanupf lite group. Africa is a land of black Africans, the only problem is their black presidents, they think they are the Gods of their countries, they are so selfish, Greedy, dictators. Corrupt.

Hon. Samantha Mureyami, a Citizens Coalition for Change ( @CCCZimbabwe ) Member of Parliament from Manicaland, who openly and unequivocally declared her support for Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (#CAB3) on the floor of Parliament. In doing so, she joined approximately forty of her fellow opposition legislators who have similarly chosen to back the proposed constitutional reforms. Their stance has added a new dimension to the parliamentary debate, demonstrating that support for the Bill extends beyond traditional party lines. #Zimbabweans from all walks of life have welcomed this development as an example of legislators placing what they perceive to be national interests above partisan considerations. Such cross-party backing reflects a willingness among some parliamentarians to engage with constitutional reforms on their merits rather than through the lens of political affiliation alone.

@ChirauMel @edmnangagwa @SABCNews Are you a person or a bot? Who believes such blatant lies when this bill is being opposed left, right and centre by Zimbabweans.Throwing a number out of nowhere doesn't change the ppls minds after all if Zanupf can win elections fair and square,why are they scared of referendum?

@denford1982 @edmnangagwa @SABCNews Nope #CAB3 clauses safeguards from such machinations

@ChirauMel @edmnangagwa @SABCNews Come 2030 someone will say they need more time to complete the projects they started in 2017 and the constitution will be amended again. Nothing will stop them if they want🤷‍♂️
