What’s actually in Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3? The Amendment Bill proposes MAJOR changes to how Zimbabwe is governed. Here are the key points you need to know 👇

Zanu PF is having its own meetings here in Mabvuku on CAB3 without any police disruptions but Tendai Biti was arrested,Tsholotsho teachers and Prof Madhuku were assaulted for having a meeting privately. The Regime in Hre need to be stopped here and now ! #NoTo2030

Iranian “shaheds” enhanced by Russia hit a church in Lviv – this is utterly perverse, and only the likes of Putin could take pleasure in it. In Ivano-Frankivsk, a maternity hospital was damaged. The scale of today’s attack strongly indicates that Russia has no intention of really ending this war. If we take into account that Russia is also helping the Iranian regime to carry out strikes across the region, the conclusion becomes self-evident: without additional and strong pressure on Russia, without significant Russian losses, those in Moscow will not develop any desire to back down from the war and somehow come to terms with peace again. Pressure is clearly lacking right now. On the contrary, there are signals encouraging Russia to continue what they have been doing for years, only increasing their aggressiveness. The fact that sanctions against Russia have been partially eased serves Russia’s interest to continue the war. The Russians will earn at least two billion dollars from the easing of sanctions in these weeks alone. This is dangerous for everyone.

HRF condemns Zimbabwe’s detention and criminal charges against senior opposition figure and former finance minister Tendai Biti and his colleague Morgan Ncube for mobilizing public support against constitutional manipulation amounting to a power grab for dictator Emmerson Mnangagwa. HRF calls for the criminal charges against them to be dropped.

THREAD: 1. The entire process surrounding the Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill is deeply flawed & compromised. Jacob Mudenda, as Speaker of @ParliamentZim , announced the gazetting of the CAB3, setting 90 days for public consultation & input. @edmnangagwa @cdfzim

🔵National Democratic Working Group chairman Job Sikhala, a veteran opposition leader, will tomorrow hold a press conference in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, on Zimbabwe's contentious constitutional amendments which extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term and change the country's political, electoral and governance systems.

So gatherings about amendment No 3 Bill are only a prerogative of @ZANUPF_Official? Why is the civil society, opposition political parties barred from holding such meetings? What are you afraid of & why are you muzzling voices @nickmangwana @edmnangagwa @ParliamentZim @Jamwanda2?

This is what President @edmnangagwa in Zimbabwe is afraid of. But even if he bypasses a referendum as he now seeks to do, the result will be the same. His rule beyond the end of his current term in September 2028 will be tainted with serious questions of constitutional illegitimacy.

Fadzayi Mahere on Constitution Defenders Forum leaders Tendai Biti and Morgan Ncube's arrest and release under restrictive conditions: "The unlawful arrest and malicious, political prosecution of Tendai Biti and Morgan Ncube must be roundly condemned by all progressive forces. More sinister is the attempt to silence them by banning their meetings. The Constitution permits freedom of assembly, freedom of expression and freedom of conscience. It is a dark day for the nation when these rights are trampled on. An attack on them is an attack on all who are working hard to defend the Constitution. A big no to 2030. We need new leaders.🇿🇼."

Biti’s arrest a cowardly act says Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine @HEBobiwine said it was disturbing to see Zimbabwean authorities persecute dissenting voices just as Uganda has done. newzimbabwe.com/bitis-arrest-a…

I am not sure what a brazen breach of a fundamental Constitutional provision - namely the obligation to have a referendum if an amendment extends the term of office of incumbents - has to do with “progressive democracy”. Furthermore the @ZBCNewsonline ‘s brazen breach of section 61(4) of the Constitution- namely the obligation to provide the public with balanced reporting and all points of view as a State broadcaster - has nothing to do with “progressive democracy” but has all the hallmarks of retrogressive authoritarianism. Why is it @ZBCNewsonline that you steadfastly refuse to publish any reports about the massive opposition to Amendment 3 from significant institutions like the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference and senior former war veterans? Sadly you have become more partisan than ever and are now just a mouthpiece for a tiny faction of obscenely corrupt leaders. Shame on you!
