The @cdfzim convenor @BitiTendai says every MP from today must know history is watching and will remember , they must never sell out the struggle that saw gallant sons die for the rights they are about to reverse, if they accept to be bought !

[Jacob Ngarivhume @NgarivhumeJ]

My question as we go to sleep is, If Zanu Pf can do this to its supporters, how much more can they do to the millions who do not support them? By the way, most of these people are the ones who were bussed to attend CAB3 meetings in support, soon after use this is their fate.

#Breaking: The acquittal of Godfrey Karembera (Madzibaba veShanduko), Jim Kunaka, and Jestere Malcom Masarira is a victory for justice, but it exposes the cruel machinery of political persecution in Zimbabwe.

[Bekezela Maplanka🇿🇼 @bekemaplanka]

I Bekezela Maplanka here by declare that l strongly reject CAB3. We The Citizens demand all our resources wasted on this thing, to be paid back directly by those individuals involved not the state. We further demand Free and Fair elections in 2028.

Today my oath is being tested.I stand by the people who voted for me.

I stand to debate against it in the house of assembly.
I will not vote for a law that suppresses the wishes of my people.

In 2017, he failed to grab the goodwill that he had across the political divide to build the country. In 2026, he has become a burden to the class that got him into office. He has become a national security threat. ED must fall!

[Tatenda C.K, Hungwe @TateChangambika]

The demolition of homes after citizens have invested their life savings is not evidence of law enforcement or good governance—it is evidence of catastrophic governance failure.

If the land was illegal, where was Mnangagwa's government when it was first invaded, sold, surveyed, allocated and developed? Where was the Ministry of Local Government under Daniel Garwe when foundations were being dug, roads opened, water pipes installed, electricity connected and entire communities established? Governments do not wake up one morning to discover thousands of houses that have taken years to build.

The truth is simple: these demolitions expose a complete collapse of state oversight, planning, accountability and administration. A competent government prevents illegal settlements before they emerge. It does not stand by while people invest their savings, build homes, raise families and establish communities, only to unleash bulldozers years later.

What Zimbabweans are witnessing is not justice. It is the punishment of ordinary citizens for the failures, corruption and negligence of those in power.

The Constitution is being grossly violated. Section 68 guarantees every person the right to administrative justice, requiring public authorities to act lawfully, reasonably and fairly. Allowing developments to proceed for years before demolishing them is neither reasonable nor fair.

Section 51 protects the right to human dignity. There is nothing dignified about reducing families, children, pensioners and vulnerable citizens to homelessness after they have spent years building homes. Section 74 protects citizens from arbitrary eviction, while Section 28 obliges the State to take reasonable measures to ensure access to shelter and improved living conditions. Instead of protecting citizens, the State is destroying their homes and livelihoods.

The real scandal is not the existence of so-called illegal settlements. The real scandal is how entire suburbs can emerge under the watch of municipalities, district authorities, the Ministry of Local Government and law enforcement without intervention. If the developments were unlawful, then the land barons who sold the stands, the officials who approved or ignored the process, and the politicians who benefited from it must face criminal accountability.

Yet in Zimbabwe accountability always stops with the victim. The poor lose everything while politically connected land barons, corrupt officials and powerful individuals walk away untouched.

A government that remembers the law only after citizens have exhausted their savings has no moral authority to claim it is protecting the rule of law. This is not governance. It is administrative incompetence, constitutional abuse and a betrayal of the very citizens the State is duty-bound to protect.

🚩 Our health system is failing, yet when Zimbabweans speak out, we are labeled vatengesi.

Here’s a Zimbabwean who witnessed the truth and decided to speak up. The wealthy/ zvigananda fly abroad for proper care, while here, officials downplay the crisis, claiming paracetamol is non-essential.

Our hospitals urgently need more drugs, doctors, and equipment. Zimbabweans are tired of cover-ups, this is the reality. #2030Musipo ❌#NoTo2030❌

[Wakurawarerwa Jonah @CitizenWakura]

I agree with @BitiTendai we have a democratic constitution we must abide with. It’s bad for old people to destabilize our country because they have lived their time. @ZANUPF_Official must know we all come we all Go. There is nothing special about those who want to remain in Power!!!

[TitusTaffy @TitusTaffy]

If citizens don’t directly shape leadership, can we still call it democracy?
CAB3 forces a deeper question, not about politics, but about ownership of power.

Who truly decides the future of Zimbabwe?

This is bigger than politics.
It’s about dignity. Voice. Ownership of our future.
Zimbabwe belongs to its people, not to systems that dilute their choice.

If this goes through, ED’s “second term” becomes ten years instead of the constitutionally mandated five; never mind that you never even granted him the original five.

This is not an amendment. It is a mutilation of the constitution’s text and a desecration of the values that underpin it. It is a subversion of the rule of law, an act that is at once immoral and criminal.

ZANU–PF has not voted for this; its conference has not approved it. An overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans oppose it.

And what would those extra years bring? More bicycles to war veterans and ostentatious purchases by cronies while the country pays the price. This is not reform; it is self‑serving power dressed up as legality.

🟥When unbribed young people speak up, they leave no stones unturned, and we all know this is the real reason behind his arrest after he was assaulted the previous day. Young people have endured the worst. Will arresting youth stop them from sharing what they have witnessed and experienced?

The message is still relevant and clear. The youth want a fair referendum, they do not want the extension of power. #NoTo2030 #2030Musipo

🚩🚩We live in a country where the majority of young people are not active participants in national processes. When the few who are interested in national conversations do participate, they are often treated in ways meant to silence them. These are real stories of authentic youth voices who attended the Constitutional Amendment Bill No.3 public hearings. #2030Musipo ©️@MagodoraTafara

The greatest mistake is to conclude that the opposition is dead because a few leaders & elected officials have betrayed the cause. Leaders & elected officials aren't the opposition. The opposition base is intact & is against 2030. New leadership is emerging to replace sellouts!

[Tatenda C.K, Hungwe @TateChangambika]

Trusting the current MPs is the greatest delusion—and illusion—millions of Zimbabweans still hold.
It is now for millions of Zimbabweans to take a firm, organised and uncompromising civic stand in stopping CAB3 and resisting open state capture—by actively, practically, and consistently challenging the Mnangagwa regime, ZANU-PF, Zviganandas, and compromised CCC MPs, Senators and Councillors to redeem Zimbabwe from an imminent national crisis greater than anything experienced under both the Robert Mugabe era and the Ian Smith regime.

Emmerson Mnangagwa and his proxy Wicknell Chivayo, the illusion of a functioning opposition has been shattered. What Zimbabweans are witnessing is not democracy at work—it is systematic political capture, where the opposition have been neutralised, absorbed, or incentivised into silence.

The case of Susan Matsunga is not an isolated incident—it is a signal. Rewarding an MP with a Toyota Fortuner and US$50,000 for praising a basic borehole project in an urban area is not development—it is patronage in plain sight. It tells every legislator watching: loyalty pays.

And Zimbabweans must read this correctly. Parliament is no longer a neutral institution. ZANU-PF does not need to spend on its own MPs and Senators—they are already direct beneficiaries of the system. Their interests are tied to its survival. The real focus is on influencing the remaining opposition voices.

With 86 opposition MPs and 26 Senators, the path becomes clear: you don’t need to win the nation—you just need to tilt Parliament. At an estimated $150,000 per legislator, that’s roughly $16.8 million—a small price to reshape a country’s constitutional future without facing voters.

This is where CAB3 fits in—not as a legal reform, but as a political project enabled through influence, not consent.

So ask yourself honestly:
Do you expect an MP who has received a GD6 and US$50,000 to stand up and oppose the same system that rewarded them?
That expectation is not just unrealistic—it is dangerous.
Because it creates the illusion that Parliament will save Zimbabwe, when in reality, Parliament itself is being reshaped to serve power, not the people.
This is why the responsibility has shifted.

Zimbabweans cannot outsource the defence of their Constitution to individuals whose independence is now questionable. The duty now lies with citizens—to:

Stay informed and scrutinise every legislative move, Demand accountability publicly and consistently,
Organise, engage, and use lawful civic pressure, Reject the normalisation of patronage disguised as development.

Because once constitutional changes are secured through influence rather than the will of the people, reversing them becomes far harder.

This is not just about CAB3.
It is about the future direction of the country. And if this moment passes without response, then what is being built is not democracy—it is a system where power is secured quietly, strategically, and permanently.

The question is no longer what leaders will do. The question is: will Zimbabweans rise to defend the integrity of their nation through lawful, collective civic action—or allow it to be decided for them?

[Constitution Defenders Forum @cdfzim]

Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 must be withdrawn in its entirety. Any future attempt to amend the Constitution within the same confines, must strictly adhere to its own safeguards, through genuine, inclusive public hearings and a binding national referendum. We are escalating this fight with clarity and resolve to ensure that the people’s voice is not suppressed, but heard and respected, and that constitutional order is fully restored.
