Zanu PF plotting dynasty: Biti

FORMER Finance minister and Constitution Defenders Forum (CDF) convener Tendai Biti has lashed out at President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the ruling Zanu PF, accusing them of attempting to establish a political dynasty through the contentious Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill (CAB3).

The proposed constitutional changes, which include extending presidential and parliamentary terms and altering the electoral system, have sparked fierce debate, with critics warning they could weaken democratic processes and entrench long-term rule.

The Bill, gazetted on February 16 this year, proposes sweeping amendments to Zimbabwe’s 2013 Constitution.
