In Zimbabwe, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s dream of securing an extra two years in office, taking his presidency to 2030, is now just one signature away from becoming reality.

The Parliament of Zimbabwe has voted in favour of Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which, among other sweeping changes, extends the presidential term from five years to seven years and removes the direct election of a President in the event of a vacancy, transferring that power to Parliament. The Bill also paves the way for President Mnangagwa’s term to be extended to 2030.

This effectively seals the political fate of Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga, whose path to succeeding Mnangagwa is expected to be blocked once the Bill is signed into law.

The journey to this moment began with Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 2 in 2021, when President Mnangagwa removed the running mate clause. That clause had guaranteed that a Vice President would automatically assume office if the President died, resigned or became incapacitated. Its removal placed succession firmly under the President’s control.

Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 completes that process. It further consolidates President Mnangagwa’s influence over succession by ensuring that Parliament, rather than the electorate, determines who becomes President if a vacancy arises, significantly reducing any constitutional pathway for the Vice President to automatically succeed.

The only thing that now stands between President Mnangagwa and the full implementation of these constitutional changes is his signature. Barring an unforeseen military intervention or a popular uprising, both of which currently appear highly unlikely, the Bill is set to become law. The only realistic internal obstacle would be if Vice President Chiwenga were somehow able to mobilise sufficient support within the military to prevent its implementation.

According to Zimbabwe’s Constitution, this Bill requires approval through a national referendum. However, the Minister of Justice, who is a close ally of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, together with the Attorney General, maintains that no referendum is required and that Parliament alone has the authority to pass these constitutional changes.

Opponents of Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 strongly disagree and argue that several of its provisions can only be lawfully enacted after the people of Zimbabwe have approved them in a referendum.

When the matter was previously brought before the courts, the judges declined to rule on its merits, holding that the parliamentary process had first to be completed before the courts could entertain a constitutional challenge. Now that Parliament has passed the Bill and it is awaiting President Mnangagwa’s signature, the legal battle is expected to resume.

The courts will once again become the principal arena in which opponents seek to stop Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 from becoming law. Whether the judiciary agrees that a referendum is constitutionally required will now be one of the most significant legal and political questions facing Zimbabwe.

Below are the names of the Members of Parliament who voted on the Bill. The names that have been crossed out are those who voted against Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3.
The two names at the bottom, Gladys Hlatshwayo and Caston Matewu, are not crossed out because they served as the opposition’s tellers during the vote. However, they also voted against the Bill.

JUSTICE FOR OWEN MUTEERI🙏 | I am sharing a heartbreaking story about an innocent young man who has been wrongly accused and sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Owen Muteeri, a 28-year-old university student at MSU’s School of Social Work, was working as a security guard in 2023 to pay for his studies. In December 2023, while he was on duty, armed robbers broke into the premises and stole $238,000. At the time, Owen was in the guardroom finishing his dissertation, and his security dog was with him.

When the dog suddenly became alarmed, Owen stepped outside to investigate. He was immediately confronted by armed robbers who pointed guns at him. They ordered him to silence his dog and lock it in the doghouse. They then handcuffed him with his own handcuffs and forced him to lie on the floor while they broke into offices and cut open a safe with a grinder.

The thieves not only stole $238,000, but also forced Owen to dig a hole outside the premises where they believed $5,000 was buried (it was later confirmed to be $2,700).

Despite being a victim, Owen was accused of being an accomplice. The court believed he might have helped the robbers because:

- His phone and laptop were not stolen, while the security guards next door had their phones taken.
- Some money was left at the scene. Owen reported this immediately to the caretaker and the police, which surprisingly made him a suspect instead of a witness.

The caretaker claimed he slept through the noise of the grinder, which raised further suspicion. After Owen reported the incident and the money left behind, he was arrested. He was initially remanded to January 2024, and although he was later allowed to stay at home while the case went to the High Court, he is now in prison.

Owen’s defence argued that if he was truly involved, he would not have reported the money left behind, especially without being threatened or beaten. His behaviour was consistent with someone who had nothing to hide.

Owen was a hardworking student in his final semester. He studied during the day and worked night shifts to support himself. Despite the trauma and stress, he still completed his degree and even received an award from his university for his outstanding dedication.

Owen’s family is devastated. If nothing is done, Owen will only be released at age 47, after serving 17 years for crimes he did not commit.

They are pleading for help to appeal the verdict and fight for justice. The appeal is expected to be heard in the High Court within the next 8 days, and the family urgently needs assistance to cover legal fees, as well as support for Owen’s basic needs like food and toiletries.

How you can help:

Please consider supporting Owen during this difficult time. Any contribution, for legal fees, food, or toiletries, will help restore hope and bring him closer to proving his innocence.

Let us stand together for justice and help free an innocent man.
