General Chiwenga fired yet another #cryptic warning to the nation yesterday at the burial of Callista Chimhini β sister of General Anselem Sanyatwe β in Honde Valley, where he told mourners that the future is never certain.
"We want an electoral system the citizens can trust" β Hon. Chikombo
Hon. Chikombo delivered a passionate rejection of Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (#CAB3) in Parliament, arguing that the proposed changes fail to address the real issues facing Zimbabwe's democracy.
According to Chikombo, the Bill does not eliminate electoral toxicity, heal national divisions, or strengthen reconciliation. Instead, he warned that it centralises power and takes decision-making further away from ordinary citizens.
"Election toxicity is not removed by extending terms, but by reforming power," he said.
He argued that Zimbabwe does not need fewer elections, it needs better elections that are free, credible, and trusted by the people.
In one of the most striking moments of his presentation, Chikombo said the Bill "transfers power from the citizens" and sends the message that "their vote is dangerous."
Watch the full video to hear his detailed arguments and decide for yourself: Does Zimbabwe need constitutional amendments, or does it need electoral reforms that restore public trust?

βThe People Did Not Ask for This Bill" - Hon. Karenyi Kore Rejects CAB 3 in Parliament
Hon. Karenyi Kore's contribution to the parliamentary debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3).
During the debate, Hon. Karenyi argued that the people of Zimbabwe did not ask for the Bill and called for it to be subjected to a referendum.
She also raised concerns about electoral reforms, political violence, corruption, and the need for an electoral system that citizens can trust.
"The people did not ask for this Bill. CAB 3 does not create a single job and should be subjected to a referendum to avoid a conflict of interest. We want an electoral system citizens can trust. People want opportunities, not an extension of political power. The problem is not the Constitution; it is political violence and corruption. The voice of the people must remain the voice of our democracy. I stand with unemployed youth, farmers, vendors, workers, mothers and pensioners." β Hon. Karenyi Kore during debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3.
