Paul Mangwana boasted soon after the 2013 Constitution was approved in the March 2013 referendum that Mugabe “dictated” the constitution. And this explains why the new Constitution is weak and feeble. A reality that Mwonzora and his MDC fiends have never acknowledged and they have knowingly conned the nation to accept the constitution and to participate in elections, etc. insisting the constitution would deliver a democratic result.
A dictator’s creed will never deliver a democratic result expected of a democratic constitution. Never!
Zanu PF is not only relying on the dictator’s creed clauses relating to specific definitions such as “term of office”, etc. to make sure the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 sails through. The regime has many, many other tools at its disposal to get what it wants and has deployed them already. The regime been bribing key players including MPs and senators to approve the process and has used coercive force to silence descending voices.
The truth is opposition leaders like Mwonzora, Chamisa, Madhuku, Biti, Timba, Mahere, etc., know that the 2013 Constitution is weak and feeble. They know Zanu PF is rigging elections and that participating would only give the regime legitimacy. Still they have soldiered on and participated regardless and they have even conned the ordinary people to participate because they also knew that Zanu PF was giving away a few gravy train seats to entice the opposition to participate.
The regime need to maintain the facade that Zimbabwe is a healthy multi-party democracy to get political legitimacy. Zanu PF was forced into the GNU in 2008 precisely because the blatant cheating in the March vote and the wanton violence during the run-off had shattered all pretence a multi-party democratic election. Zanu has been very careful never to repeat that mistake ever again.
After the 2018 rigged elections Mnangagwa created POLAD, a body composed of all the losing presidential candidates who publicly endorsed the rigged elections as having been free, fair and credible and Mnangagwa was the legitimate State President. POLAD members were rewarded with cars, diplomatic passports and many other benefits. Lovemore Madhuku and Khupe were some of the beneficiaries of POLAD.
Mnangagwa introduced a US$20 000 nomination fee for all presidential candidates for 2023 elections. A deliberate and calculated move to stop the flood of candidates eyeing POLAD privileges. He disbanded POLAD post 2023 elections much to the anguish of those who had paid the US$20 000 fee eyeing the POLAD gravy train seat!
So the nation is well and truly "stuck between a rock and a hard place”, Zanu PF ruthless political machinations and MDC/CCC sell out trickery. Stuck between two equally unpleasant, difficult and, in this case, two false choices.
The key here is the realisation that Zanu PF and the MDC/CCC have been cooperating all along. Mugabe bribed Tsvangirai and his MDC fiends during the GNU to forget about implementing reforms and to pretend the 2013 Constitution was a democratic constitution. Ever since the GNU debacle they have participated in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy for a share of the spoils of power.
To the uninitiated and ordinary Zimbabwean they have a political choice of Zanu PF or MDC/CCC. MDC/CCC leaders’ failure to implement even one reform in 26 years and their idiotic lies to con the people to participate in flawed processes to give Zanu PF legitimacy is proof Chamisa & co. are Zanu PF team B in all but name - playing for team A to win and have legitimacy for a share of the spoils.
Democratic elections are about real choices and results are about the true wish of the people in a free, fair and credible elections process. Zimbabwean elections are a farce, the process is so flawed and illegal the main contestants know it but pretend otherwise to deceive the voters.
As long as the people remain ignorant, naive and gullible to the false choice and electoral fraud Zanu PF and their junior partners MDC/CCC are playing nothing will ever change. If the CAB3 passes it will be yet another significant mile-stone in Zimbabwe’s descend to become a fully fledged De jure dynastic, as distinct from the present de facto one-party, dictatorship comparable to that of North Korea.

Zimbabwe's 2013 Constitution is weak and feeble too weak to ever deliver free and fair elections, nor guarantee freedom and human rights. Tsvangirai and his MDC banded mongoose fiends told the nation the new constitution was a democratic wonder. Many people believed it but time has proven them wrong again and again as the nation failed to hold free and fair elections and basic human rights were brazenly denied with no recourse.
The banded mongoose have conned the nation to participate in flawed elections on the basis of idiotic lies that they can win rigged elections. Mwonzora is back conning people to participate in the flawed constitutional amendment Bill No. 3 process of the basis the 2013 Constitution will stop the bill sailing through. The lie of the democratic constitution is back on the table!
When we Zimbabweans finally accept that it is sheer folly to participate in flawed and illegal processes so flawed, so illegal the only logical step is to withdraw. We are paying dearly for our failure to learn and repeating the same mistake over and over again!

We cannot dwell on the same issues because some people cannot face truth and reality! Chamisa lied about plugging the vote rigging loop holes to stop Zanu PF rigging the 2023 elections. He even evoked the name of God. "It is God's plan that that CCC will win big. God's plan will not fail!"
Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections, the very thing he had said was not going to happen. Of course, Chamisa lied about plugging the vote rigging loop holes and blasphemed about CCC winning big being God's plan.
Now he is back claiming that he had won past elections and will win the future ones. He is not even apologising for lying and conning the nation to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the nation's suffering. He is not just repeating the same idiotic lies but he even has chutzpah to pretend his previous lies had all come true!
In the end nation get the government they deserve. If Zimbabwean continue to believe Chamisa's idiotic lies and are conned to participate in flawed processes time after time then the nation must pay the consequences - a failed state and millions already living in abject poverty!
@ Chamisa
Chamisa boasting to Mudhara B of how CCC member voted in Zanu PF primary elections.
How hollow that all sounds now since he was the one who abandoned his party in a huff claimed it had been thoroughly infiltrated by Zanu PF!
Chamisa is corrupt, incompetent, liar and a conman. Why many Zimbabweans continue to follow him blindly speak volumes of this nation and, more significantly, why we are a failed state.
@ Maposa
ChIwenga is just another dictator, a repeat of the 2017 swapping one dictator for another. Only some one who has no imagination would even consider this a solution!

Tendai Biti is right, if this obnoxious CAB3 sails through and signs are that it will, then Zimbabwe will have reached a very significant mile stone “second only to Gukurahundi”, as Biti put it, down the road creating a de jure dynamist dictatorship, North Korea style.
History will record that Zanu PF would have never reach this mile stone with out the connivence of the MDC/CCC leaders. NEVER!

May of the Zanu PF supporters and leaders who are backing the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3) are doing so because they are all but brain dead. They believe the idiotic lie that passing the bill will free the party to finally concentrate of developing the country. They do not know that the regime has failed to maintain even the infrastructure we inherited in 1980 much less build on it because the regime has been preoccupied with retain absolute power.
The nation has failed to remove Zanu PF from power regardless of the party's track record of failure and tyrannical oppression because the party rigged elections. Passing CAB3 will give the regime even more dictatorial powers making it even less accountable to the people and only some one who is brain dead would believe that giving the regime more dictatorial powers will force it to deliver vision 2030!
