@nickmangwana Cde, you are measuring the number of congregates against which number when Zanu PF is refusing other citizens to express their feelings over the Bill? It doesn't make sense.

@nickmangwana Every game has two or more than two contenders or competitors. In this case, it's only Zanu PF competing against itself. How do you measure success and its support? It was better if others were given the freedom to assemble, but it's not that way. So It's violence, not support

In TWO WEEKS TIME, we move to another stage of the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Bill… Zimbabweans within & outside Zimbabwe had enough time & opportunity to debate & give their views on this CRITICAL BILL… It’s arguably THE MOST Democratic Law Making process in the history of Zimbabwe, NO ONE was left out…
At this point, it’s abundantly clear that the Bill has OVERWHELMING support… Out of the 21 Clauses, it’s just 2 clauses receiving minimal opposition, the rest are being accepted as they are… Of course we expect additions or even subtractions when MPs work on it, but it’s a DONE DEAL for the most part…
Zimbabweans of all walks of life are interested in DEVELOPMENT, not unproductive power contestations … President @edmnangagwa has done EXTREMELY WELL, we shouldn’t disrupt the momentum!

@MadzivaNehemiah None other than people like you who are utter rubish. You are the reason why this country is still in the shadows of underdevelopment. No doubt you came from families with a broken golden cup,and when you see money, your minds get twisted. The Muzorewas and Chiraus of this time!

@ProfJNMoyo Eversince the elections of 1985, our elections have been characterized by violence and mayhem, and the result has always been a fraudulent grouping of parliamentarians in the name of a new government. As if that isn't enough, CAB3 expects such people to elect the president???

Professor Lovemore Madhuku in his Own Words Making the Case for Parliament to Indirectly Elect the President as an Electoral College: “We must not put in the Constitution of the country a provision that is dependant on what happens in a political party. That’s the point I’m making.
We must never say in our Constitution of Zimbabwe that if a sitting President dies or resigns, we will wait to hear what the political party of that President is saying. No. That is not the best way of running a country.
Political parties remain the preserve of those people who are in those political parties. But the country is run on the basis of either an election by the people—direct election—or you have Parliament as an institution sitting as an electoral college. Where parties have influence, they must do the influence within Parliament, but never to allow the political party to sit there to say I’m giving you this President, and so forth.
That’s the point I’m making. And on that point, I’m making it right across the world; that’s what they do.” -
Professor Madhuku, addressing a “Heal Zimbabwe Trust” public meeting in Harare on 22 February 2020.
COMMENT:
Professor Lovemore Madhuku’s 2020 remarks make a clear, powerful and enduring case for Clause 3 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) H.B.I. Bill, 2026. This clause replaces the direct election of the President with an indirect election by Parliament sitting jointly as an electoral college; both after every general election and, when necessary, to fill any vacancy in the office of President.
The current direct election of the President was first introduced in anticipation of a legislated one-party-one-man rule through Constitution Amendment No. 7, Act 1987 in the old Lancaster Constitution repealed in 2013.
Professor Madhuku put it plainly: The Constitution should not—as it currently does— depend on the internal decisions of a political party to select a successor to the President of the country. When a sitting President dies, resigns or is removed, the nation should not have to wait and hear what that President’s political party “is saying.”
That is not a constitutionally proper way to run a country. Political parties exist for their own members. The country, however, belongs to all Zimbabweans. The proper solution is straightforward: Parliament—the institution chosen by the people—should act as the electoral college. Inside that open forum, parties may exercise their influence transparently and accountably. No party should ever stand outside the Constitution and simply “give” the nation its next leader.
This principle is not abstract. Worldwide, presidential by-elections to fill mid-term vacancies are extremely rare. Most stable presidential systems instead use automatic succession by a deputy or, increasingly, allow the legislature to elect a successor who serves out the remainder of the term.
These arrangements place national continuity and stability above partisan interests. Clause 3 of the Bill follows exactly this proven path. By giving Parliament the clear duty to elect the President—whether at the start of a new term or in an unforeseen vacancy—Zimbabwe will secure stronger democratic stability, and keep the highest office firmly within the people’s constitutional framework rather than the private control of any single party.
In short, Clause 3 is a mature, practical and principled reform that directly honours Professor Madhuku’s wise 2020 counsel. As such, it deserves the full support of every well-meaning Zimbabwean who values good governance, democratic constitutionalism, institutional integrity and the long-term strength of the country’s democracy in the national interest!

@BarakaZaire You don’t have to prove it by the words of mouth. Actions speak more than the words can do. People who have natural mental capacity challenges when given money they become double blind folded. You mind your stomach more those of your future grandchildren. It’s shameful.

@BarakaZaire Politicians target people like you and others who only use the heart and not the mind when it comes to faith and conviction. One thing they successfully achieved was to convince you that whatever they plan and do is meant to benefit you, which is not correct baba.

However, money should be made free of crime. It must be genuine and credible money making not with criminality. Money should be traceable or verifiable, not the Zvigananda way no. Genuine business is the way.

A word of advice: If you fail to make money while Cde Mnangagwa is still President, then forget about making money after he is gone. Nyorai pasi!!

MINISTER TORERAYI MOYO IS RIGHT. IT IS TIME ZIMBABWE STOPPED WORSHIPPING AT THE ALTAR OF CAMBRIDGE. When Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Hon. Torerayi Moyo stood before the Senate and declared that England itself has moved on from Cambridge @CambridgeInt examinations, he was not being provocative. He was being honest and that honesty deserves amplification, not ridicule.
"I was in England last month, Hon. Sen. President, they do have a national curriculum. They are no longer offering exams from Cambridge, which is the exam board for schools in England. It is only here that people think that Cambridge examinations are the best," the Minister said.
Read that again slowly.
The country that gave the world the Cambridge examination system has itself replaced it with a nationally owned, nationally designed curriculum and assessment framework.
England's schools now sit for qualifications set and regulated domestically by Ofqual, through exam boards like AQA, Pearson Edexcel, and OCR. Cambridge International, the brand that Zimbabwean middle-class parents swear by, is now primarily an export product designed and sold to former colonies still psychologically tethered to the idea that anything bearing a British stamp must be superior.
Zimbabwe is among its most loyal customers. And loyalty of this kind costs money a great deal of it.
Zimbabwean families enrolled in Cambridge-stream schools pay premium fees for the privilege of sitting examinations administered from abroad, marked abroad, and certificated by an institution that the originating country itself no longer uses for its own children. This is not quality assurance. This is colonial nostalgia dressed in examination robes.
The Minister's critics will argue that Cambridge results are internationally recognised, that they open doors at universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, and beyond. This is partially true but it is an argument that collapses under scrutiny. Zimbabwe's own Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) @zimsecOFFICIAL qualifications are accepted at universities across Southern Africa, and increasingly beyond. The notion that a Zimbabwean child cannot access quality higher education without a Cambridge certificate is a myth perpetuated by schools with a financial interest in maintaining expensive examination partnerships.
More fundamentally, what does it say about our national confidence that we continue to outsource the assessment of our own children's intelligence to a foreign institution? What message does it send to a Form Four student in Buhera or Gokwe that the only examination worth sitting was designed by people who have never visited their school, never walked their community, and never considered what knowledge is relevant to their lived reality?
Minister Moyo's visit to England was not just a diplomatic trip. It was, apparently, an education a firsthand reckoning with the gap between Zimbabwe's inherited assumptions and the actual policy reality of the country we continue to look to for validation.
Zimbabwe has a functional, improving, and domestically anchored examination system in ZIMSEC. It has a curriculum that can be adapted to reflect African values, Zimbabwean history, indigenous languages, and the practical needs of a nation building towards Vision 2030.
What it lacks is not academic rigour. What it lacks is the confidence to trust its own institutions.
Minister Moyo is right. The conversation he has opened in the Senate is overdue.
Zimbabwe must stop genuflecting before the Cambridge brand and start investing politically, financially and psychologically in the legitimacy of its own educational institutions.
The children of England are no longer sitting Cambridge exams. It is past time we asked ourselves why our children still are.
English

@ZBCNewsonline This policy shift negates with what is expected in a free market economy like the one we have. There is absolutely no reason why education has to be 100% indigenous, particularly when our country can not provide jobs to its citizens. We need certification by international bodies

GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES UNIFIED EXAMINATION POLICY FOR 2027
The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Honourable Torerayi Moyo, told Senate that starting in 2027, it will be mandatory for all schools in Zimbabwe to register learners for ZIMSEC examinations. This policy shift ensures that students in both public and private institutions adhere to the national assessment framework.
