Amendment Bill No. 3 cannot be reduced to an individual, that’s a flawed approach. The only important question is: Is it good for ZANU PF & Zimbabwe?? That’s all. @ProfJNMoyo’s input or views are just that: Personal Input & Views. We can’t throw away a good idea or a good amendment based on persons & personalities, that’s a bad approach. The Amendment Bill has SEVERAL changes to the constitution, it can’t be reduced to ONE. Many people have focused the possibility that President @edmnangagwa may stay until 2030 as if that’s the only thing in the Bill. ED may choose not to do that, it’s a decision he can make ANYTIME & has no effect on the Amendment itself because it is CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, not an ED Amendment. The removal of the Direct Election of a President is good for Zimbabwe & it is also AWESOMELY GOOD for ZANU PF. No sane ZANU PF person would oppose that, it would stupidity of the highest order considering how the opposition has been weaponising presidential elections to delegitimise ZANU PF electoral victory. ZANU PF has a SOLID hold on Constituencies, that’s why only a DUMB ZANU PF person would oppose that Amendment. A very dumb one. If anything, I wouldn’t mind compromising on the 7 year term, it’s something that we can compromise on but it remains a GOOD APPROACH because it reduces the frequency of elections thus giving incumbents enough time to focus on development. We are a developing country, we don’t have the luxury of wasting time & money on elections. Transferring voter registration to the Civil Registry department is a COMMON SENSE Amendment. This means there can be a system which automatically updates the voter’s roll when someone dies. And people can register to vote the moment they get their national ID. We can even consider automatic voter registration in future. Don’t reduce this Amendment to ED to Jonathan Moyo, these are individuals who come & go, the Constitution can outlive them…. The ZANU PF folks & opposition folks who have reduced this Amendment to individuals are mistaken & myopic. Some of them are showing us how insecure they are …. Anyone who is confident of becoming a President in future wouldn’t mind the convenience of being voted into power by MPs… or the advantage of a 7 year term…. At worst, ED will just have an additional 2 years in office, that can’t stop anyone’s Presidential ambition.
