People said that it must be change correctly in line with the constitution. Your video here is exposing the first point that we have been telling you: 1. Bills to change the Constitution come from the shareholders (the people) through petitions from the people directly, or through party motions in Parliament by MPs who are the elected representatives of the people. 2. They do not come from the [managers] Cabinet or the President of the republic incorporated. This is why people are saying CAB3 is Mnangagwa’s Bill (the managers petition for change company articles of association) and not a Bill from the shareholders (people) as represented by ZANU PF or the opposition, or the people who directly petitioned the court? 3. Secondly, Zimbabwe’s Constitution is different from South Africa’s in that only the legislature can change the Constitution, BUT, our Parliament is not the legislature—see s116 and s117 of the Constitution. In South Africa their parliament is the legislature. It’s therefore illogical how you are trying to equate a constitutional amendment bill in South Africa which came correctly from the people (shareholders), to the illegal one in Zimbabwe that came from managers of Zimbabwe inc (Cabinet and the President) who are trying to steal Zimbabwe inc from the people. I know you guys are struggling to grasp these governance concepts but you will get them as we continue to educate you through deeper reading of the constitution that Moyo induced us to do.

There is a PROPOSAL to Amend the South African Constitution for the 24th time in 30 years… Some Zimbabweans think amending the Zim Constitution for the 3rd Time in 13 years is unacceptable… Constitutions are LIVING DOCUMENTS & they have to be UPDATED to suit the needs of society… Societies evolve, new challenges emerge, & new opportunities arise… The Constitution isn’t & shouldn’t be cast in stone!

He Gave Mnangagwa Everything And Received Nothing Worth Having in Return General Constantino Chiwenga is the most consequential man in modern Zimbabwean history who has been most comprehensively betrayed by the beneficiary of his sacrifice. What he is living now is not a vice presidency. It is a gilded cage. I want to speak today about a man I have watched from a distance with respect for what he did, and with deep concern for what has been done to him since. General Constantino Guveya Dominic Chiwenga is, by any honest measure, the architect of the political order that governs Zimbabwe today. Without him, there is no November 2017. Without November 2017, there is no President Emmerson Mnangagwa. This is not a controversial statement. It is the plainest fact of recent Zimbabwean political history, acknowledged by everyone including the man who benefited most from it. If you observe General Chiwenga's position today his actual authority, his real influence over state decisions, his standing within the structures of power he helped create what you see is a man who has been systematically, deliberately, and I would argue calculatedly reduced. Not removed. Removal would be too obvious, too dangerous, too politically costly. What has been done to General Chiwenga is more sophisticated than removal. He has been decorated and diminished simultaneously. Let us remind ourselves of what General Chiwenga risked in November 2017. He was the Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces the most powerful military position in the country. He had a career, an institution, a legacy, and a personal safety to protect. When he stepped out of that role and led Operation Restore Legacy, he staked all of it on one outcome that Mnangagwa would be the man to lead Zimbabwe forward, and that the arrangement between them would be honoured. He did not act alone, of course. The operation was institutional. But the face, the voice, the personal risk that was General Chiwenga. He was the one who stood before the cameras. He was the one who put his name and his rank on what happened. In any honest accounting of November 2017, the entry should read General Chiwenga delivered. Mnangagwa received. What was the understanding between them? I am not privy to private conversations. But in politics and especially in military politics there are understandings that do not require documents. When a General risks his career, his freedom, and potentially his life to install a politician, the reasonable expectation is not a ceremonial title and a security detail. The reasonable expectation is genuine partnership. Genuine power-sharing. A seat at the table that is real, not decorative. What General Chiwenga has received is the decoration without the substance. The title of Vice President. The motorcades. The protocol. The international travel with delegations so large they attract commentary on their own. And behind all of it a man who has been surrounded by structures specifically designed to ensure that his influence over the presidency he made possible remains permanently limited. You do not neutralise a threat by confronting it. You neutralise it by surrounding it with noise, comfort, and the appearance of importance while quietly ensuring it touches nothing that matters. I want to be precise about what I mean by marginalisation, because the word can sound vague. I am not speaking about personal slights or ceremonial oversights. I am speaking about a deliberate and systematic political architecture. Consider in the years since November 2017, the loyalist network around the presidency has been built, expanded, and fortified in ways that specifically counterbalance General Chiwenga's institutional base. New affiliates 4EDs have been cultivated. New power centres created. The inner circle around Mnangagwa has been constructed to ensure that no single figure and certainly not the figure who holds the most legitimate claim to political..

I will be precise, because I am old enough to say what younger men can only think.When a retired officer and I will name the case that everyone in uniform is already discussing, General Tapfumanei was recalled from retirement and within a remarkably short period promoted to a rank ahead of officers who never left this institution, something fundamental is broken. Not bent. Broken.I am not speaking about General Tapfumanei as a man. I do not impugn his personal honour. I am speaking about what the system communicated through that decision to every colonel, every brigadier, every major general who stayed. Who went to Chimoio when Chimoio was difficult. Who went to Pfungwe when Pfungwe was dangerous. Who sent his children to school on a salary that could not cover the school fees. Who buried his marriage quietly because the postings never stopped. Who never resigned, never complained publicly, never made himself politically useful because he believed that faithful service would speak for itself. To that man, the Tapfumanei promotion said one thing with absolute clarity "Your continuous service meant nothing. Your loyalty to this institution is worth less than someone's political usefulness." That is not my editorial opinion. That is the message received. I have spoken to enough people still inside to know exactly how it landed. I want those who made this decision to understand what a morale wound of this nature actually does to a fighting institution. It does not show up on a parade ground inspection. The men still stand straight. The boots are still polished. The salutes are still crisp. The institution still photographs well at ceremonial occasions. But underneath that surface in the officers' mess, in the staff college corridors, in the quiet conversations between men who have given twenty and thirty years to this uniform something has curdled. It affects how a man performs, because performance requires belief that effort will be recognised. Remove that belief and you remove the engine of excellence. It affects how he leads, because a leader who feels betrayed by his own institution cannot fully transmit conviction to those below him. He transmits, instead, a hollowness that his subordinates detect even when they cannot name it.And most devastatingly it affects whether the next generation of promising officers decides to stay or to leave. The young lieutenant who is watching this. The captain with potential who is calculating his future. He is doing the mathematics right now. He is asking himself: if twenty years of faithful service can be leapfrogged by a recalled retiree with the right connections, why should I stay? "When your best people begin asking that question, you have already lost something you cannot recover by gazette notice." I have seen this before. I have seen it in other African militaries that are now shadows of what they once were. Institutions are not destroyed only by enemy fire, budget cuts, or equipment failures. They are destroyed slowly, invisibly, irreversibly when the internal covenant is broken. When the system signals, repeatedly and unmistakably, that the rules do not apply equally to everyone. That there is a category of officer for whom the normal criteria are suspended because of what they represent politically. Once that signal is sent, it cannot be unsent. Every subsequent promotion board is viewed through that lens. Every appointment is interrogated for political motive. Trust the invisible infrastructure upon which all military effectiveness ultimately rests begins to dissolve.Zimbabwe's defence forces were built by men and women who believed in the institution more than they believed in any individual. That belief is the true strategic asset more valuable than any equipment procurement, any alliance, any modernisation programme. It must be protected. It must be deserved. Right now, it is being spent carelessly.

Mnangagwa ‘acted improperly’ in promoting son to senior army rank – constitutional lawyer newzimbabwe.com/mnangagwa-acte… via @NewZimbabwe.com GRATUITOUS CRITICISM OF THE STATE PRESIDENT: The usually suave and legally well-canvassed Professor Lovemore Madhuku’s claim that the President acted “improperly” in promoting the latest batch of Zimbabwe National Army officers to the senior rank of Lieutenant-Colonel is legally fatuous and socially spiteful. His Excellency the President, Dr E.D. Mnangagwa, is the Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Force (ZDF). In that role, which is absolute and indivisible, he acts with total integrity and arrives at his final decision after a series of processes and recommendations by appropriate arms within the ZDF. All those processes are always evenly done and fulfilled in all cases. There is no basis, legal or professional, to doubt those processes which occur routinely within the ZDF in respect of all recommendations for promotion to the Commander-in-Chief, and against which no comebacks have ever been recorded. It is spitefully beneath the learned Professor to single out one officer from the group merely on grounds of consanguinity, and in spite of many years of competent service and several courses which all the deserving officers successfully underwent. What is more, it smacks of ignorance of basic administration for the Professor to suggest that the Commander-in-Chief cedes his substantive constitutional role and mandate to a Vice President when he, as the Commander-in-Chief, is in place. If the Professor thinks his spite finds a leg in law, he is free to challenge the promotion of any or all of those deserving Officers in a competent court. Meanwhile the Office of the President and Cabinet heartily congratulates the Officers on their earned and deserved promotion, and for continuing to render invaluable service to our Nation.
