Chinamasa Says No Opposition To Block CAB3 In Parliament

ZANU-PF Politburo member Patrick Chinamasa says the Constitution Amendment No. 3 Bill (CAB3) will “swiftly sail through Parliament”, insisting there is effectively no opposition to block its passage.

He made the remarks at a recent CAB3 rally attended by senior party officials, including national secretary for war veterans Douglas Mahiya, Manicaland Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Misheck Mugadza, and ZANU-PF provincial chairperson Tawanda Mukodza.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s special investment adviser, Paul Tungwarara, also attended and openly criticised party officials over alleged corruption linked to empowerment funds.

Chinamasa told supporters that Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle was about total political control, adding that he was confident all MPs would back the Bill.

“We did not go to war to have half power. Some people died during the war, and some people sacrificed,” he said.

“ZANU-PF should tell people what to do. We are very sure that we are going to score through MPs for the Bill to pass, as there is no goalkeeper and no one is going to stop it.”
