Jessie Majome turned the ZHRC into a truly independent body and led it in its principled rejection of CAB#3. For that, the President has dismissed her. This is unconstitutional and void. We will fight it. It is the continuation of the silencing of every voice against CAB#3.
PLEASE RETWEET, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
This leaked document is a Cabinet memorandum from Zimbabwe’s Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Ziyambi Ziyambi. It proposes undemocratic constitutional amendments with huge implications for Zimbabwe.
These include having Emmerson Mnangagwa as a life president, because at 86, if he gets another three years in office after his term ends in 2028, he will be 92 years old in 2031.
When I broke the story about Members of Parliament being given land in Mabelreign to block any impeachment attempt and to assist the Zimbabwean dictator in securing a term extension, one that would also benefit the crooked MPs, Jonathan Moyo wrote a long article accusing me of misinforming and disinforming the public.
Many, including some who see themselves as opposition, danced to his propaganda piece. I wonder what they will say now that this leaked document confirms my reporting and the indirect intentions of the land grab.
According to this document, Mnangagwa and his surrogates plan to extend the terms of office for the President, Parliament, and Councils by up to three years, through a two-thirds parliamentary vote.
This is why the MPs were illegally given land, it is greenway land, and the allocation was unlawful and had nothing to do with the 2013 land offers to MPs.
As I reported at the time, they plan to postpone elections for that duration.
They also intend to repeal term limit protections in the Zimbabwean Constitution.
They also want to remove Section 328(7), which currently prohibits the retroactive application of term limit amendments.
This means they are attempting to remove a constitutional safeguard that prevents leaders from benefiting from changes to term limits after they are already in office just like they did with the disgraced Zimbabwean Chief Justice, Luke Malaba.
This change would allow the amendments to apply to current officeholders, effectively giving Mnangagwa and the crooked MPs a chance to benefit from extended terms.
They also want to shift voter registration responsibilities from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to the Registrar of Births and Deaths.
The direct consequence of this is the postponement of elections by up to three years, which of course is undemocratic.
Stripping ZEC of its voter registration mandate undermines the independence and integrity of the electoral process in Zimbabwe.
The panic that set in after I exposed the land grab in Mabelreign, and the hopeless defences that followed, were clearly not only aimed at labelling me a misinformer, but also revealed the anger felt by the architects of this crooked, unconstitutional, and undemocratic attempt to drag Zimbabwe into becoming a real banana republic when the land documents were leaked to me.
There was a coordinated attack involving Zimbabwe’s Minister of Information, Jenfan Muswere, ZANUPF trolls, and intellectuals for hire praising Jonathan Moyo’s propaganda piece, along with many others who continue to benefit from this crooked regime. Sadly, some naive and opportunistic opposition activists joined in the attack backed by a fake news website.
I now ask the government’s chief propagandist, @nickmangwana, and his various surrogates to tell the nation whether this leaked document is true or not. Silence will confirm the document’s authenticity.
I also ask the opposition MPs in parliament if they will push back or they will grab the opportunity to drink from this poisoned well?

Red Carpet of Blood!
crookED Emmerson is saying he has finished preparing for the SADC Summit.
What his guests need to know is that these preparations were done using abductions, beatings, torture, arbitrary arrests, abuse of the judiciary and imprisonment!
As crookED Emmerson rolls out the red carpet, his guests will be passing through an airport where activists were dragged out of a plane and tortured for eight hours in that airport!
The fact that these activists were forcibly removed from a plane and subjected to hours of torture speaks to the repressive tactics being employed by the Zimbabwean government to silence dissent and suppress opposition.
It is crucial that SADC leaders take a strong stance against these abuses and hold the Zimbabwean government accountable for its actions. Ignoring these human rights violations or turning a blind eye to them would be a betrayal of the organization's stated values and principles.
crookED Emmerson even has a mother and her one-year-old child in jail for merely meeting to commemorate the Day of the African Child at the home of Senator Jameson Timba who is also in jail with 84 others who met at his home.
All these abductions, beatings, torture, arbitrary arrests, and imprisonments are being done in the name of SADC by crookED Emmerson.
I am joining all Zimbabweans, Africans, and the civilised world to demand the immediate release of this one year old child on the back of her innocent mother from Chikurubi Female Maximum prison.
