Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF Harare province has ramped up efforts to sensitise the public on the Constitutional Amendment No. 3 Bill, aiming to inform citizens about parliamentary expectations and encourage submissions supporting the proposed changes to the supreme law.<\/p>\n

The programme kicked off with pomp and fanfare at Mabvuku\u2019s Number One Ground, where central committee member and business mogul Kudakwashe Tagwirei extended generosity to 85-year-old Gogo Kanhukamwe by helping refurbish her home. Two other community members also benefited from Tagwirei\u2019s gesture.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Tagwirei highlighted voter engagement concerns, noting that while Mabvuku has 36 000 registered voters, only 12 000 participated in previous elections. He urged supporters to attend the Bill\u2019s public hearings, scheduled from March 30 to April 2, and called on Zanu PF supporters to turn out in large numbers to back the proposed constitutional changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Emmerson Mnangagwa has done a lot for the country\u2019s development, and the progress is visible,\u201d Tagwirei said. \u201cWhen he assumed office in 2017, reserves were at zero and GDP was low. Today, GDP stands at US$53 billion, and Zimbabwe is ranked as a top tourist destination. This is why we say yes to the Amendment Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bill seeks to extend the terms of the President and Parliament from five to seven years. Tagwirei argued that longer terms would reduce electoral toxicity and allow leaders to focus on development and the people\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

Mabvuku-Tafara legislator Scott Sakupwanya and Zanu PF Harare provincial chairperson Godwills Masimirembwa echoed the importance of supporting the Bill, citing local development projects. \u201cWe have seen massive progress in Mabvuku, including the construction of a new interchange,\u201d Sakupwanya said. \u201cProjects like these show why extending the electoral cycle from five to seven years is necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
