@ReleGlo Instead of criticism this woman who seems to be doing a good job to raise and care for her son, why is no one asking where is this boy’s father. Our other problem is adopting Western perversion to practices which are as old as Africa. I don’t see anything wrong personally

@DavidColtart @drDendere @HeraldZimbabwe The ZACC Chairperson was there. The Perm Sec of Finance who is the gatekeeper of payments of Govt tenders was there. We are doomed!

@masibanda_ How to loot a country and feast while the masses starve.

[One Man, One Vote @MsTsitsi85]

The budget to run Pari and Hre hospitals is about US$25 million. Yet we are celebrating a tenderpreneur's son who looted from the Zimbabwean public. At least we see where our elite's priorities are!

@kays1984 @penkendrick 100% correct. What surprises me is 80%+ of people being sent money are able bodied individuals. Secondly the financial illiteracy amongst even the very educated black Zimbabweans is shocking

@Jamwanda2 All good but these conferences and fairs, but are there any tangible results. When trade fair or mining indaba happens they should publish metrics on how much investment is attracted.
Otherwise they become useless exercises

The Constitutional Court (ConCourt) has reserved judgment in two similar critical cases filed by war veterans and by former opposition MP Prince Dubeko Sibanda challenging President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s contentious founding law amendments to extend his tenure to 2030, saying section 328 (7) of the constitution bars an incumbent from benefitting from such changes.
Professor Lovemore Madhuku, lawyer in the two cases, told The NewsHawks:
"The court reserved judgment after i had made submissions on both cases; the war veterans and the Sibanda applications.
We spent a lot of time on the floor making the submissions basically arguing that President Emmerson Mnangagwa violated the constitution when he presided over cabinet to approve changes in which he is going to benefit, contrary to Section 328 (7).
That is what the war veterans' application is dealing with, while the Sibanda's case is similar - we are arguing that parliament cannot pass amendments which benefit the incumbent as that is prohibited by Section 328 (7) of the constitution.
The submissions centred on that. There was wasn't any focus on term limits, or the referendum.
But Justice Ben Hlatshwayo did remark that some of the issues at stake maybe resolved through a referendum.
Since judgment is reserved and parliament will proceed with the process, we may need to make another application."
Section 328(7) of the constitution is an "incumbent-protection rule". It states that any constitutional amendment extending the length of time an individual may hold public office cannot apply to anyone who currently holds that office, or an equivalent office, at the time the amendment is made.
The clause prevents a sitting official, a President, Member of Parliament, or Judge, from directly benefitting from a constitutional amendment that lengthens term limits or extends time in office.
It was specifically made to prevent officeholders from lobbying for or making constitutional amendments designed to keep themselves in power.
This provision is at the centre of a major political and legal debate in regarding the Constitution Amendment Bill No.3.
The government has proposed extending presidential and parliamentary terms from five to seven years, while changing the presidential electoral system.
Soms legal expert have warned that applying these extended terms to incumbent officeholders would directly violate Section 328(7) without first holding a national referendum.
However, some analysts argue the amendment only changes the duration of term cycles rather than term limits and that does not require referendum.
The War Veterans Case,Reuben Zulu and Five Others, says there is an inherent conflict of interest and unconstitutional initiation in extending the presidential term to benefit Mnangagwa.
The six war veterans argue that Mnangagwa violated the constitution by chairing a cabinet meeting that approved a bill from which he directly benefits.
They contend this breaches constitutional duties regarding public integrity and the separation of powers.
They say the changes unlawfully remove citizens' rights to directly elect their president and bypass the required referendum process.
They are seeking an interdict to prevent the President from assenting to the draft law and the court to declare the cabinet’s approval of the bill null and void.
Sibanda (a former MP for years) argues that specific clauses in the bill are "constitutionally incompetent".
He specifically targets attempts to override Section 328(7) of the constitution, which explicitly bars term-extension amendments from benefitting any person who currently holds or has already held that office.
He argues that the insertion of the phrase "notwithstanding section 328 (7)" is an illegal attempt to change term limits to benefit the President and MPs without a proper, legal process.
Sibanda wants ConCourt to block and excise the offending clauses or direct parliament to withdraw and re-introduce the bill without them.
