“The danger becomes clearer when Clause 8 is read together with Clause 3.
If Parliament elects the President, and the President in turn elects Senators, the process becomes circular!”
@JoanaMamombe has thrown CAB3 into the bin with a single argument!
IT WAS ALL ABOUT ED POWER GAMES…ED worked with Tshabangu to engineer illegal recalls that ultimately handed ZANU-PF a fraudulent two-thirds parliamentary majority, in clear violation of both the law and democratic principles.
Unfortunately, when the recalls began, many failed to recognize that this was part of a long-planned strategy orchestrated by ED. It was never about the claims that the CCC lacked a constitution or formal structures. In Zimbabwe you can not submit party candidates to ZEC without a party constitution. Parliament and Mudenda were in possession of CCC constitution but chose to ignore it on instructions from his Zpf Boss. Those no constitution and nil structures narratives were merely a smokescreen.
Some individuals, driven by their disagreements with Nelson Chamisa, celebrated the recalls, unaware that they were in fact celebrating the erosion of democracy and the weakening of our nation. The foundation for the current constitutional amendment agenda was laid in 2023 through those engineered and unlawful recalls.
However, all is not lost. The real struggle lies ahead. The task before us is to continue fighting for a Citizens' Government—one that reflects the true will and aspirations of the people of Zimbabwe. The future of our country depends on the determination of its citizens to defend voice, agency and fundamental rights .
A GREAT REWARD AWAITS..“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12
This scripture exhorts us to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called.
Those who dislike us may express open contempt through derision, mockery, jibes and scornful names, or through deliberate calumny; yet we must choose the path of virtue.
They may unjustly and injuriously reproach us, even inventing improbable lies and contrived conspiracies against us, but we must remain focused and steadfast.
We may be subjected to the harshest treatment, enduring relentless persecution in word and deed, including wilful and malicious accusations of the vilest kind; nevertheless, we must continue standing firm in the path of righteous consistency.
Let not this burden of infamy and oppression discourage or cast you down. Your reward in heaven is certain and assured. These trials reveal and refine the principal graces of a Christian life.
With this hope, may we cheerfully endure painful moments and difficult circumstances, fully assured that a glorious future awaits us.
Blessed Sabbath #Godisinit

Citizens are smart and intelligent. They will never be hukuwinked by failed Politicians with ZERO Political capital. They have the ability and wisdom to discern the genuine from the fake. To them they know who their leader is and are patiently waiting for him. We have reached an interesting phase in our Politics whereby publicly supporting NC is classified as "Bootlicking" whilst criticizing NC is classified as being "rational, objective and intellectual". We understand the frustration of them when the name NC is mentioned for it is ONLY on social media they find relevance to express their anger. Challenge them to visit the villages, farms, towns and gather people communicating their hatred ndopaunoona why they behave as such. Our association or participation in Politics was and remains voluntary. Our choices amidst a lot of Political options are also voluntary just as many others can make theirs. We reserve the right to make our choices without being blackmailed . For now we make this point unapologetically that NC remains the ONLY best foot forward in sofar as the alternative to Zanu PF is concerned. It is insane to blame him for the actions of adults . The same process that produced present day betrayers also produced solid characters. Ironically those making the most noise about the "process" also voluntarily submitted to same process but never raised any concern at the material time. It is never about the process but individual choices of adults. By parity of reasoning can we blame Mugabe for the actions of his erstwhile cdes in 2017? Can we blame Tsvangirai for the actions of those who crossed over to Zanu PF during his time? But again for now they will pretend not to see all this for their hatred towards the people's choice is Legendary but painfully so they can't transmit same to the people.

Public hearings are not enough, we need a referendum, says Godfrey Salani a Chipinge resident while making his contribution on Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill #CAB3
CHARADES, NOT HEARINGS!!What were supposed to be CITIZENS’ public hearings on the constitutional amendment bill have turned out to be a circus of choreographed, coached, and rehearsed ZANU (PF) slogans and rallies. The “outreach” has become an “in-reach” for a ZANU violent circus to reproduce their own contrived voices. This is nothing but a desperate attempt to create MANUFACTURED consent and lie that the CITIZENS support this otherwise hugely unpopular Bill.
The chaotic and shambolic outreach meetings are nothing but ZANU (PF) DCC-coerced gatherings. Citizens must reclaim their voice, power, and authority to be heard and to matter once more. Only a CONSTITUTIONAL settlement to this constitutional crisis, and a citizen government, is the only credible and bankable solution to the problems affecting Zimbabwe.
Disputed elections and national processes is the starting point to the resolution of the crisis. WE, THE CITIZENS, are the ANSWER.

How many leaders would survive having successive political parties hijacked by the regime? They took 2 political parties, no funding, no HQ, their proxies. He even had the luxury of a forced 2 year sabbatical - yet he is still standing & they are still targeting him!

Rutendo is not really fighting ZANU PF on the Constitutional Amendment Bill 3 but he is merely sharing his thoughts in this ninety day window in which the public must comment. The question that must be asked is why is it Rutendo’s comments have been taken so negatively and caused so many problems? #CAB3
