New Court Challenge Threatens Mnangagwa’s 7 Year Power Plan

Zimbabwe’s controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, commonly known as CAB3, has now landed in court as human rights activist Youngerson Matete seeks an order forcing a national referendum before key clauses can be enacted. At the centre of the fight are clauses seeking to extend presidential, parliamentary and local authority terms from five years to seven years. The government argues that no referendum is required, while critics say the proposed changes affect entrenched constitutional protections and could give incumbents an unfair political advantage. In this Zimwaves TV commentary, we unpack the legal battle, the political implications, the arguments around Section 328 of the Constitution, and why the referendum question could become one of the biggest tests of Zimbabwe’s constitutional democracy. Is CAB3 just a technical amendment, or is it a direct attempt to stretch political power without asking the people? Watch the full analysis and join the discussion in the comments. #ZimwavesTV #CAB3 #ZimbabwePolitics #ZimbabweConstitution #Mnangagwa #ZANUPF #ZimbabweNews #Referendum #ConstitutionalAmendment #Section328 #ZimbabweDemocracy #ParliamentOfZimbabwe
