Zimbabwe’s Catholic bishops have issued a pastoral letter warning that the proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 3 could undermine democratic governance by concentrating power in the Executive and weakening the role of citizens in choosing their leaders.

The proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 3 seeks to make significant changes to Zimbabwe’s governance framework by shifting the power to elect a president away from the electorate to Members of Parliament. Among its central provisions is the extension of elected officials’ terms beyond the current five-year mandate without a fresh vote.

In a statement dated 19 March 2026, the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference said the amendment raises “profound questions about governance, trust, and the common good,” and cautioned against changes that would shift authority away from voters.

The bishops expressed concern over provisions that could remove direct presidential elections, extend the terms of elected officials without a fresh mandate, and bypass constitutional safeguards such as referendums. They said such measures would “diminish” the principle that all legitimate authority flows from the people.

The statement also warned that the proposed changes could weaken independent institutions, including the judiciary and electoral bodies, by increasing executive influence over appointments and key electoral processes. It said this risked undermining public confidence in the fairness and transparency of elections.

Addressing Members of Parliament and Senators, the bishops urged lawmakers to act in the national interest and resist pressure to support measures that could erode democratic accountability. They called on legislators to be guided by conscience and to prioritise the common good over political considerations.

The bishops said that if the proposed amendments are intended to benefit the country, they should be subjected to broad public consultation and, where necessary, a referendum. They emphasised that the Constitution “belongs to every Zimbabwean” and should remain under the authority of the people.

The message concludes with a call for citizens to remain informed, engage peacefully, and uphold principles of justice and accountability as the debate over the amendment continues.

The Pastoral Letter👇🏿

Pastoral Message on Constitutional Amendment No. 3
“In Defence of Truth, Justice, and the Voice of the People”
19 March 2026

“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” (Mk 8:36)

Dear brothers and sisters,

1. At this critical juncture in our nation’s history, we, your shepherds, call for calm reflection, moral courage, and unwavering honesty. The proposed Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Bill, 2026, challenges the very foundation of our shared life together. It raises profound questions about governance, trust, and the common good—the conditions that enable every person and community to flourish in dignity and peace. Our Constitution is more than law; it is a solemn covenant, born from the overwhelming will of Zimbabweans in 2013, embodying our collective hopes for justice, unity, peace, and prosperity.

The Voice of the People Must Remain Supreme
2. All legitimate authority flows from the people. This truth, rooted in our humanity and echoed in sacred wisdom, was reaffirmed in the 2023 elections, when citizens entrusted leaders with a five-year mandate ending in 2028. As Scripture teaches, governing powers are “instituted by God” to serve the good of all, not themselves. Yet proposals that shift power from the electorate to a few—such as weakening direct presidential elections, extending terms without fresh consent, or bypassing safeguards like referendums—diminish this sacred trust.

3. President Mnangagwa has often said, “the voice of the people is the voice of God” (vox populi, vox Dei). We hold dear this wisdom. To sideline it risks fracturing the bonds of ubuntu/unhu, where true leadership builds up the whole community, not just a part. The common good demands that citizens actively participate in decisions affecting their future, through principles like subsidiarity—empowering lower levels of society—and solidarity—sharing responsibility for all. When the people’s role fades, so too does the legitimacy of rule.

Strong Institutions: Pillars of National Life
4. Peace endures not by force, but through fair, transparent, and independent institutions. Elections, justice, and reconciliation bodies must serve every citizen equally, fostering healing in our divided land. Weakening electoral oversight, judicial appointments, or commissions for peace erodes public confidence and deepens wounds. As the Psalmist proclaims: “Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage” (Ps 33:12)—a blessing realised when leaders prioritise righteousness and justice. Proverbs urges: “Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy” (Prov 31:8–9). Institutions aligned with the common good unite us; those captured by narrow interests divide.

The Erosion of Democratic Sovereignty
5. We are deeply concerned that the amendments proposed in the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Bill, 2026 collectively move power away from the citizens and consolidate it within the Executive.

• Removal of Direct Elections: The right to directly elect the President is a core mechanism of citizen sovereignty. Moving this power to Parliament distances executive authority from the popular consent of the people.

• Unilateral Term Extensions: In 2023, you elected representatives for five-year terms. Extending these terms to seven years without seeking a new mandate from the voters undermines democratic legitimacy.

• The Circumvention of Safeguards: Section 328(7) of our Constitution explicitly prevents incumbents from benefiting from term extensions. To sidestep this via amendment, without a referendum, creates a “glaring contradiction” and threatens the very existence of our constitutional democracy.

Weakening of Independent Institutions
6. A healthy democracy requires checks and balances. The proposed changes risk turning independent pillars into partisan instruments:

• The Judiciary and Prosecution: Increasing presidential control over the appointment of judges and the Prosecutor-General risks political influence and undermines public trust in justice.

• Electoral Integrity: Transferring responsibilities such as delimitation and the voters’ roll away from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to less independent bodies dilutes the transparency required for free and fair elections.

• Partisanship of Traditional Leaders: Permitting Chiefs to act in a partisan manner fundamentally alters their role as unifying community leaders and combined with more presidential appointees, grants the Executive dominance over the Senate.

A Direct Appeal to Our Leaders: Heed Your Conscience
7. To our Honourable Members of Parliament and Senators, we speak with deep respect and fraternal concern. You bear a sacred duty before God and the nation: to govern for the common good, not personal or partisan gain. Pressures—be they bribes, threats, or promises—may tempt you, but hear Christ’s call: “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Mt 10:28).

8. Chokwadi chinokunda/ iqiniso liyanqoba—truth prevails. Let conscience guide you: reject any change that silences the people. History will judge whether you safeguarded their voice or betrayed it. Choose integrity, for “love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law” (Rom 13:10).

For the True Common Good, Return to the People.
9. If these amendments genuinely serve the nation’s welfare, let the people affirm them. Matters of such gravity demand transparency, wide consultation, and, where required, a referendum—honouring the Constitution’s own protections. The common good is not imposed from above; it emerges when all contribute, in solidarity and subsidiarity. The Constitution belongs to every Zimbabwean; it must remain in their hands.

A Call to All Citizens.
10. This is a moment for prayerful responsibility, not fear or strife. Stay informed, speak wisely, and act peacefully. Embody truth, justice, and mutual respect—values that transcend creed and unite us as one people.

Conclusion
11. Our choices today shape tomorrow. Future generations will ask: Did we defend the people’s voice? May we answer with conviction: yes, we stood for truth and the common good.

12.We commend Zimbabwe to Almighty God: Grant our leaders, wisdom to serve justly, strengthen us in unity, peace, and courage. May Your steadfast love be upon us, even as we hope in You (Ps 33:22).

The peace of Christ be with you all.

Find a Catholic Bishop and kiss them on the cheek. If they are too shy, kiss them on the lips. This, good people, is what people who affect to lead people and speak on behalf of God must do. Straight as an arrow and as principled as a compass. Thank you Bishops for speaking with clarity, conviction and for speaking in defence of the hearth and the altars of your God.

[Retired Lt General Winston Sigauke Mapuranga @SajeniMapuranga]

I have held my tongue long enough. I have watched with mounting despair as a man I once believed in a man I stood beside in the corridors of revolution dismantles the very republic we bled to build. No more. History demands honesty, and I will not go to my grave having remained silent while Zimbabwe is sold to the highest bidder.

President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa began well. November 2017 carried genuine hope not just the relief of Mugabe's departure, but the dawn of what many of us believed would be a corrective era. A Zimbabwe restored to its founding promise. Open. Democratic. Accountable. We toasted to that promise. Many of us championed it.
That promise is now dead.

We went into the bush to fight for one man, one vote. We fought to remove the Ian Smith era of fear, intimidation, and permanent rule. What Mnangagwa is doing today is Smith with a ZANU-PF card.
Constitutional Amendment No. 3 is not a legal exercise it is a heist. It is the systematic dismantling of term limits, of separation of powers, of the people's sovereign right to change their government. Anyone who stands against it is hounded. Journalists are intimidated. Former comrades are silenced. Voices within the party itself are crushed before they can echo. I ask in what meaningful way does this differ from the Rhodesian state we gave our youth to destroy?

The comparison to Idi Amin, Bokassa, and Mobutu is not hyperbole it is historical reckoning. Those men too began with the language of liberation. They too spoke of the people while accumulating power for themselves. The trajectory is unmistakable, and if Mnangagwa does not reverse course, his chapter in African history will sit alongside those very names he once condemned.

What does he want to achieve with those two extra years? Two more years to entrench cartels? Two more years to reward those who purchased his longevity with the nation's resources? Let us speak plainly about the company he now keeps. Jonathan Moyo the same man who manipulated President Mugabe, who drafted the letters designed to purge Mnangagwa, who forged signatures to fire the very man he now serves is back inside the tent. This is not reconciliation. This is desperation. When a leader invites his most cunning manipulator back into his circle, it tells you one thing that leader no longer trusts his own judgment and fears what honest counsel might reveal.

And then there is Kuda Tagwirei a man whose financial fingerprints covered the funding of CCC election operations in 2018, whose business empire grew in direct proportion to his proximity to state power. That this individual now operates at the highest levels of government economic policy is not a scandal hiding in the shadows. It is a scandal in plain sight, sustained by silence purchased with patronage.

This is what cartels do. They do not seize power through guns anymore they do it through tenders, through parastatals, through currency manipulation, through the quiet suffocation of any competitor or critic. And Mnangagwa, whether by design or by surrender, has allowed these cartels to become the real government of Zimbabwe.

The liberation struggle was never fought so that one man could trade our constitution for his own comfort. The veterans of this republic deserve better. The people of Zimbabwe deserve far better.

I am not a partisan man. I have never sought a political platform. But I am a soldier who swore an oath not to a president, not to a party, but to the Republic of Zimbabwe and its people. That oath does not expire with retirement. It does not dissolve in the face of inconvenience or personal risk.

I call on my fellow veterans, on serving officers who still possess conscience, on citizens who remember what November 2017 felt like do not allow this moment to pass without resistance. Not the resistance of violence we are beyond that, and any who counsel it dishonour the struggle. But the resistance of voice, of solidarity, of democratic accountability.
