Kuyenda humbangu, kudzoka humbangu like a highly emotional teenager!! Lawyers are like health care workers, when their skills are called upon, they answer, unless they have a compelling and acceptable reason not to.
Hi Mukoma,
As I expected, I knew you would weigh in and obviously in his defense (for reasons that we both know). However, I would also want to add that if it were to be all about integrity (as you put it), he could have rejected Mnangagwa as a client the same way he has rejected the gifts from Weaknail. Instead, he accepted because he wanted to, itโs that simple. Youโre also a Lawyer, would you have accepted the case, if yes, why and if no, why? If you can respond then we can proceed from there.
I think apa pangobhaizika kuti it was written in public were IBA, ICJ would have seen.
Dear @JobSikhala1, insulting the electorate won't work in Zimbabwe. Many people are trapped in ZANU-PFโs cycle of manipulation, fear, and vote-buying. Frustrating as it is when our message seems ignored, we need engagement, not hostility. We must keep exposing the real enemy and reminding citizens why change is essential. Persuasion takes time, but it works.
"Corridor care" is a misnomer - there is nothing caring about being treated in a corridor.
We must ensure dignified care for all - yesterday I led a debate on corridor care in our NHS.
So were the 179 votes that Somalia received when it was voted on to the Security Council on the 6th June 2024 "a sweeping international endorsement" of that country's government, diplomatic approach, economy and state of democracy? Do you argue that Somalia is truly also a "trusted partner" within the multilateral system? Or is there something else at play when this vote takes place which equates Zimbabwe with Somalia?

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki has delivered one of the clearest regional warnings yet against attempts by African leaders to manipulate constitutional limits to remain in power, in remarks that now resonate sharply with Zimbabweโs deepening debate around Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3) and growing concerns over President Emmerson Mnangagwaโs long-term political ambitions.
Speaking at an event commemorating the legacy of NEPAD, Mbeki recalled how former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba once sought to secure a controversial third term in office, despite constitutional limits. According to Mbeki, regional leaders within @SADC_News quietly moved to stop the attempt in defence of constitutionalism and democratic order.
His reflections come at a moment when Zimbabwe is gripped by mounting controversy over CAB 3, which critics argue is part of a broader political strategy aimed at restructuring constitutional safeguards and creating conditions that could ultimately extend Mnangagwaโs hold on power beyond the spirit, and potentially the framework, of the current Constitution.
Mbeki is simply posing an uncomfortable question to todayโs SADC leadership: if regional leaders once found the courage to confront Chiluba over a third-term agenda, why should Zimbabweโs constitutional controversy be treated differently?
Mbekiโs remarks are a deliberate challenge to the region itself, a call for Southern Africaโs leaders to rediscover the political will, institutional courage and moral authority that once defined the blocโs defence of constitutionalism.
Shocking images emerged of President Ramaphosa visiting Mnangagwa's farm, accompanied by a notorious Zimbabwean businessman. His brother, wanted in South Africa for attempted gold bar sales, fled after being granted bail and reporting to the police. #Zimbabwe#SouthAfrica
Dr Tinashe Hofisi, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer and legal scholar currently serving as a Research Fellow at the Karsh Institute of Democracy at the University of Virginia, recently joined an interesting debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill N0.3 with Professor Jonathan Moyo.
The debate was organised by the Southern African Times and run in full by The NewsHawks.
Hofisi's work primarily focuses on constitutional law, judicial design, and enforcement of human rights in Africa.
He is currently a Research Fellow at the University of Virginia School of Law and the Karsh Institute of Democracy.
Previously, he was a Hauser Global Fellow at New York University.
Before his academic career in the United States, Hofisi spent seven years as a human rights lawyer with Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, specialising in constitutional litigation.

Today, the 13th of April 2026, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) formally submitted its Statement of Inputs to Parliament on the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill No. 3 (2026). The ZCC, representing 32 member denominations with a reach of at least 3 million citizens, opposes the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill No. 3 (2026) because of the potential harm it causes to the nation and the legacy of our current President. The ZCC, acting as a Watchman (Ezekiel 3:17) a role that compels the Church to speak when it sees the nation walking toward harm and after prayerful reflection and stakeholder consultation: Our general recommendations are as follows
1.Withdraw or substantially revise the Bill: The amendments in their current form are constitutionally, morally, and democratically compromised.
2.Establish an Independent Constitution Amendment Commission: Amendments of this nature require a dedicated, independent commission mandated to undertake broad, meaningful consultations rooted in the will of the people, free from the conflict of interest that arises when the institutions advancing the Bill are its direct beneficiaries.
3.If the Bill proceeds in its current form, a national referendum is mandatory: The Bill fundamentally alters the 2013 Constitution and provides for term extensions benefiting current incumbents. This requires direct citizen consent - not parliamentary approval by those who benefit from it.

We need to move away from condemning statements and do what Zapu would have done to Ian Smith.
Zanupf will only respond when it's real power base is challenged. We all have a lot of fear to break and it must be broken.

After Jessi Majome, Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, gave an appraisal of the Constitutional Amendment Bill 3, raising its benefits and shortcomings, she issued a scathing official report about human rights violations and unconstitutional conduct surrounding the constitutional amendment Bill (CAB3) consultation process.
By so doing she delegitimized the process, and as a result, she was dismissed from her position as Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission and reassigned to Public Service.
This was done to silence honest criticism regarding how the amendment consultation process was conducted through intimidation, violence, and propaganda against the opposition, forcing the unpopular Bill down people's throats.
What's even more interesting is that on the same day the President fires/reassigned Majome, he also fired the head of CIO after he'd just been in office for one year. Rumors are the CIO boss was critical of CAB3 and was not willing to use his agents to persecute people who oppose the Bill, and the President and his advisors weren't happy about this, so they fired him an

1. This bravery from Madam Majome, head of the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, a creature of section 243 of the constitution, deserves appreciation.
This is a pleasantly rare reminder of what a functional and democratic society with independent institutions would sound like.
