Zimbabweans turning 18 will be automatically added to the voters’ roll under a new system which the government plans to introduce before the 2028 elections.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/automatic-voter-registration-for-18-year-olds">The Sunday Mail</a>, Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said that the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill will transfer voter registration responsibility from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to the Civil Registry Department (CRD).
The CRD will use biometric and personal data collected during national ID applications to automatically register eligible voters.
Voters will be assigned to polling stations based on the residential address used during ID card registration.
Those who change addresses can update this information before registration to ensure correct polling station assignment.
The Registrar-General’s Office will automatically remove deceased individuals from the voters’ roll once a death certificate is issued.
The proposed amendments will remove the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) from its role in delimiting constituency boundaries.
The government is considering reinstating an independent commission to handle this responsibility, as was the case before 2009.

Zimbabwe is changing the way people can register to vote. Now, when you turn 18, you will be automatically added to the list of voters. This new system will use data from your national ID to do this. The government wants to make sure that everyone who is eligible to vote can do so easily. They are also looking at making sure that people are put in the right polling stations. The government is also thinking of bringing back a commission to help with making these decisions, which was used in the past.

Zimbabwe Plans Automatic Voter Registration For 18-Year-Olds

A ZANU PF official has claimed that the ruling party successfully dismantled the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) and is now waiting for its former leader, Nelson Chamisa, to establish a new party so that it can dismantle that as well.
Speaking to ZANU PF supporters at Charandura Business Centre in Chirumanzu, where 50 people allegedly defecting from the CCC to the ruling party were publicly paraded, Midlands provincial chairperson Edson Chiherenge declared that ZANU PF was prepared to dismantle any new party Chamisa might form. He said (<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200034848/well-destroy-chamisas-new-party-zanu-pf">NewsDay</a>):
<blockquote>
This party (CCC) wants to register another party. We know there is no longer any CCC because the party has disintegrated. We are waiting for the new party to come on board so that we destroy it again.
</blockquote>
Chiherenge expressed gratitude to the CCC defectors for joining ZANU PF, adding that both the party and President Emmerson Mnangagwa recognised and appreciated their decision.
However, he warned the new ZANU PF members not to come with ambitions of quickly seizing positions within the party.
This follows the dramatic exit of Nelson Chamisa from the CCC in January 2024. Chamisa alleged that the party had been infiltrated, claiming that self-styled interim secretary-general Sengezo Tshabangu had taken control of the party.
Tshabangu, who was largely unknown before the August 2023 general elections, rose to prominence afterward.
He controversially seized leadership of the party through a series of court rulings and the actions of the National Assembly Speaker and Senate President, leading to the recall of numerous CCC legislators.
Tshabangu also orchestrated the recall of several CCC councillors and mayors across the country after the Ministry of Local Government acted on his recall letters.
Chiherenge’s assertion that ZANU PF had effectively destroyed the CCC could be seen as an indirect acknowledgement that the ruling party played a role in facilitating Tshabangu’s takeover, effectively undermining the opposition party.

ZANU PF, a big political party in Zimbabwe, says it will crush any new party that Nelson Chamisa, a former leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), tries to form. They are happy that some people from CCC have joined ZANU PF. Chiherenge, a ZANU PF official, warned these new members not to expect to get top positions right away. Chamisa left CCC in January 2024 because he thought someone else had taken over the party. This person, Sengezo Tshabangu, got many CCC members removed from their positions. ZANU PF's claim of destroying CCC could mean they helped Tshabangu take control, weakening the opposition party.

ZANU PF Says It Will “Destroy” Any New Party Chamisa Forms

Blessing Geza, a war veteran and member of the ZANU PF Central Committee, has strongly condemned party members advocating for an extension of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s tenure beyond the constitutionally mandated two terms, calling such actions treasonous.
He argued that those pushing for this move should be expelled from the party.
In an <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200034753/ed2030-an-act-of-treason-war-vetdeclares-amendment-will-never-happen">exclusive interview with HStv</a>, an online television and radio channel operated by Alpha Media Holdings, Geza criticized the ZANU PF resolution, passed during the party’s 21st National People’s Conference in Bulawayo, which proposed extending Mnangagwa’s presidency until 2030.
Geza described the resolution as ill-advised and contrary to the principles of Zimbabwe’s Constitution. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
I was at the conference and I thought I was saddened… First and foremost, we have a Constitution which must be respected by everybody.
The President himself took an oath of office to respect the Constitution of Zimbabwe. They took the oath of office so they could protect and defend the Constitution of Zimbabwe but they are not doing that.
They are committing treason. Those people must be arrested and those people must be fired from ZANU PF. We want to see those people charged.
</blockquote>
The former Sanyati legislator claimed that ZANU PF has been hijacked by opportunists, with war veterans increasingly sidelined within the party.
He lamented that the people who fought for Zimbabwe’s independence have been marginalised, while those seeking to exploit the party for personal gain have taken control. He said:
<blockquote>
I mean because the party has been hijacked even if you go to structures, all those (army) generals were “fired” from the party.
ZANU PF is a product of ZANLA and ZIPRA, the people’s movement but they are not even being recognised, you know, right? They are attacking the Constitution.
They don’t even talk about the armed struggle. They don’t talk about the opposition. Mark my words, that will never happen, not under our watch.
</blockquote>
ZANLA or the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army was the military wing of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) during the liberation struggle.
ZIPRA or the Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army, was the military wing of the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU), which played a significant role in the war of independence.
Geza also accused President Mnangagwa of failing to unify ZANU PF following the 2017 coup that brought him to power.
He argued that instead of fostering reconciliation and cohesion within the party, Mnangagwa’s leadership has deepened divisions, leaving the party fragmented and plagued by internal strife. He said:
<blockquote>
The president was supposed to take the opportunity to unite the nation so that it could move forward. He failed but people, you see, know when the president came back from South Africa, is this happening?
But these people [ED2030 brigade] are a security threat and on this issue, the JOC [Joint Operation Command] must take action, and the service chiefs must take action.
Are our laws not sufficient enough to deal with such things?
These 2030s are doing what they want right? They are doing what they want to the President, you know. It’s unfortunate.
The role which we played, we are being sidelined, we have been sidelined but I blame ourselves because they say they are in control.
</blockquote>
Geza asserted that there is no possibility of President Mnangagwa extending his tenure beyond 2028, citing clear constitutional provisions that prevent such an outcome. He said:
<blockquote>
Mnangagwa was elected in 2018 and his two terms end in 2028 and he cannot go beyond that unless the Constitution is changed.
And even if the Constitution is changed, it also puts a safety net in it, which says that the incumbent or the person who presides over that constitutional change must not benefit from it.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa has reiterated that he will step down in 2028 when his second and final term in office concludes.
However, he has not instructed his supporters to cease advocating for an extension of his tenure, leaving critics questioning his sincerity.

A war veteran called Blessing Geza is angry at ZANU PF members wanting President Emmerson Mnangagwa to be president until 2030. Geza says this is against the Constitution and is like committing treason. He thinks those pushing for it should be kicked out of ZANU PF. Geza also thinks that Mnangagwa has not done a good job uniting the party. He says there is no way Mnangagwa can stay president after 2028 according to the Constitution. People are wondering if Mnangagwa really plans to step down in 2028 like he says.

Former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa has hailed the recent peaceful and seamless power transfer in Botswana as a sign that the winds of change are sweeping across the region.
Speaking to Botswana Television (BTV) on the sidelines of the inauguration of Botswana’s new president, Duma Gideon Boko on Friday, November 2, Chamisa reflected on the significance of the event.
Chamisa pointed out that, unlike in Zimbabwe, where he believes he defeated President Emmerson Mnangagwa in both the 2018 and 2023 elections, Botswana’s leadership transition demonstrated a commitment to democracy and peaceful change.
He claimed that despite his victories at the polls, Mnangagwa had refused to step down and vacate office.
Chamisa said he hoped that the Zimbabwean leader might learn a valuable lesson from Botswana’s example—that there is “life after conceding defeat in an election” and that peaceful transitions of power are essential for the stability and progress of any nation. Said Chamisa:
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<blockquote>
We defeated ZANU PF twice, but they refused to go. We hope Mr Mnangagwa will learn one or two lessons about life after politics, life after leadership, and life after public office.
Botswana is a signal, what Botswana has done is significant for the continent, for a new Africa and the region in terms of heralding a new era of newness, an era of transformation, an era of effective transition.
You look at it, the BDP (Botswana Democratic Party) was in power for 58 years but this is a smooth transition from one political party to another.
</blockquote>
Chamisa also said that former presidents should be treated with respect after leaving office, urging that they be allowed to step down with dignity and not be pursued for past actions, whether by commission or omission.
Boko’s Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) triumphed over the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the October 30 elections, ending the BDP’s 58-year grip on power.
Former President Mokgweetsi Masisi and Mnangagwa reportedly faced boos from the crowd during the inauguration ceremony.
In contrast, the loudest applause was reserved for former Botswana President Ian Khama.

Nelson Chamisa praised Botswana for peacefully changing leaders. He said Zimbabwe should learn from Botswana's example of a smooth transition. Botswana's new president, Duma Gideon Boko, won the election, ending a 58-year rule by the Botswana Democratic Party. Chamisa hopes leaders like Mnangagwa will step down gracefully after losing elections. He said former presidents should be respected and not pursued for past actions. The crowd booed at Mnangagwa and Masisi but cheered for former President Ian Khama at the inauguration. Chamisa believes peaceful power transfers are important for stability and progress in a nation.

Chamisa Hails Botswana's Peaceful Power Transfer

Zimbabwe’s ruling party, ZANU PF, has firmly rejected predictions from South African opposition MP Mmusi Maimane that it could be the next political party to fall, following the recent defeat of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the October 30 elections.
The BDP, which had ruled Botswana for 58 years, suffered a heavy loss to the opposition Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), led by Duma Gideon Boko, in a landslide victory.
ZANU PF had shown strong support for the BDP during the campaign, with some of its senior officials sent to Botswana to help with the BDP’s election efforts.
Despite this, ZANU PF has dismissed any comparisons to the BDP’s defeat, insisting that the party is here to stay and remains firmly in control of Zimbabwe’s political landscape. Said Maimane:
<blockquote>
Chest pains. ZANU PF is next. We know you wanted your best friend Masisi to win but Batswana said no.
</blockquote>
In response to Maimane’s remarks, ZANU PF Director of Information Farai Marapira said the party has consistently fulfilled the aspirations of Zimbabweans, and as a result, the people will grant it another mandate in 2028. He said:
<blockquote>
ZANU PF is not going anywhere, ZANU PF will be here today, and ZANU PF will be here in 2028 because we continue to fulfil the needs of our people. We continue to satisfy the dreams of our people and that is what gets people into office.
</blockquote>
Marapira also denied allegations that ZANU PF stays in power through voter intimidation, asserting that the party has no need to intimidate anyone, as it consistently delivers on its promises.

ZANU PF, the ruling party in Zimbabwe, said they won't fall like the Botswana Democratic Party. They rejected claims from Mmusi Maimane, a South African opposition member. The Botswana party lost after ruling for 58 years and ZANU PF supported them in the elections. ZANU PF says they fulfill the people's needs and won't be going away. They think they will still be in power in 2028. They deny using intimidation to stay in power. Maimane thinks ZANU PF will be next to fall.

ZANU PF Dismisses Mmusi Maimane’s Claim It Could Be Next to Fall

South African opposition Member of Parliament and former leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA), Mmusi Maimane, has warned ZANU PF that it could be the next party to fall, following the recent defeat of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in the elections held on October 30.
The BDP, which had been in power for 58 years, lost to the opposition Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), led by Duma Gideon Boko, in a landslide victory.
This victory for the opposition in Botswana mirrors a similar trend in South Africa, where the African National Congress (ANC), in power since the end of Apartheid in 1994, lost its majority for the first time and had to form a coalition government with several other parties.
In Zambia, opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema defeated the incumbent Edgar Lungu, and in Malawi, opposition figure Lazarus Chakwera emerged victorious.
However, in Mozambique, where FRELIMO was declared the winner, several people have been killed in post-election violence.
Maimane pointed out that ZANU PF had supported Masisi after the party sent some of its heavyweights to campaign in Botswana for the BDP in the run-up to the election. Said Maimane:
<blockquote>
Chest pains. ZANU PF is next. We know you wanted your best friend Masisi to win but Batswana said no.
</blockquote>
ZANU PF openly declared support for the BDP, with ZANU PF legal secretary Patrick Chinamasa, addressing rallies in Botswana.
In Mozambique, President Emmerson Mnangagwa was quick to congratulate the FRELIMO party and its leader, Daniel Chapo, even before the official results were announced.
However, in the case of Botswana, Mnangagwa did not immediately congratulate Duma Gideon Boko, despite Masisi’s prompt concession and congratulations to his rival.
Mnangagwa eventually sent his best wishes, but the congratulatory statement was signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amon Murwira.

Mmusi Maimane, a South African politician, warned ZANU PF that they could lose next after the BDP lost in Botswana elections. The BDP had been in power for a long time but lost to the opposition. This has been a trend in other African countries like South Africa, Zambia, and Malawi where opposition parties have won. In Mozambique, there has been violence after the elections. ZANU PF supported the BDP in Botswana but Maimane thinks they could lose next. President Mnangagwa congratulated the winners in Mozambique but was slow to do so in Botswana.

Mmusi Maimane Says "ZANU PF Is Next" After BDP's Defeat In Botswana

Villagers in Insiza North constituency are frustrated with their MP, Farai Taruvinga (ZANU PF), due to his prolonged absence from Parliament.
Taruvinga has not attended any parliamentary sessions since his swearing-in on September 6, 2023.
Villagers who spoke to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/insiza-constituents-call-for-legislators-expulsion-from-parliament-after-missing-100-consecutive-sittings/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> on condition of anonymity have demanded his resignation or expulsion as concerns about his commitment to his constituents mount. Said one of the villagers:
<blockquote>
We do not know if Taruvinga is still representing us anymore because he has missed over 100 Parliament sittings and has not even come back to us, just to hear out any of our grievances.
</blockquote>
Section 129(f) of the Zimbabwean Constitution states that if an MP is absent for 21 consecutive sittings without leave and Parliament votes by a majority to declare the seat vacant, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) must initiate a by-election.
Taruvinga’s situation is further complicated by ongoing health issues. Reports indicate that he is fighting Stage 4 Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, and has been undergoing regular chemotherapy.
Sources close to him suggest that his medical condition, which necessitates frequent hospital visits, has hindered his ability to fulfil his parliamentary responsibilities.

The people in Insiza North are mad at their MP, Farai Taruvinga, because he hasn't been going to Parliament since he was sworn in on September 6, 2023. They want him to resign or be kicked out because he's not doing his job. The law says that if an MP misses 21 Parliament sessions in a row without permission, there can be a new election. Taruvinga is sick with a serious kind of cancer, which makes it hard for him to work. People are worried that he can't do his job properly.

Insiza North Villagers Call For "Absentee" MP's Expulsion

Opposition Member of Parliament, Zivai Mhetu (CCC), has demanded that Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube explain the reasons behind the closure of branches by several formal retail chains across the country, and what measures are being taken to address this issue.
Speaking during a recent Parliamentary session, the Epworth North MP warned that the closure of retail outlets’ branches is detrimental to the country’s economy. He said (via <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/parliament-demands-answers-over-closure-of-retail-outlets-amid-zwg-fluctuation/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>):
<blockquote>
Our economy is becoming increasingly hostile for businesses and we could soon witness an exodus of companies if this trend continues.
This is evidenced by the closure of Unilever, and Truworths and recent reports that Choppies, a leading supermarket chain based in Botswana is considering pulling out of Zimbabwe.
Choppies’ experience is worrisome because it is doing well in other SADC countries. It is only in Zimbabwe that it is facing operational challenges. It is a clear indication of our business environment that is problematic.
</blockquote>
Last month, Choppies announced it was considering withdrawing from Zimbabwe due to challenges faced by its local subsidiary, which have adversely affected the group’s financial performance.
These challenges are largely attributed to the instability of the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency, which was introduced in April to replace the Zimbabwe dollar as the official domestic currency.
Mhetu further argued that the closure of formal retailers will exacerbate the unemployment rate in the country. He said:
<blockquote>
Closure of big companies triggers unemployment, something we cannot afford as our unemployment rate is already incredibly high.
Only 46.3% of Zimbabweans of working age are employed according to statistics released by ZIMSTAT earlier this year.
Without urgent efforts to address currency instability and inflation. More businesses are likely to follow the Choppies route.
It is imperative that Zimbabwe stabilises its currency and creates an environment where businesses can thrive. The National Development Strategy 1, speaks on creating 760 000 formal jobs by 2025.
</blockquote>
The local currency has undergone six name changes but has yet to achieve stability, confidence, trust, or sustainability due to inflation fueled by excessive money creation by the Government.
Its previous iterations include the original currency post-independence, that is, the Zimbabwe dollar, then later bearers’ cheques, traveller’s cheques, bond notes, RTGS dollars, and now ZiG.

Opposition MP Zivai Mhetu wants to know why many stores are closing in Zimbabwe. He is worried these closures will hurt the country's economy. Choppies, a big supermarket, might leave Zimbabwe because of problems with the local currency. This could lead to more people losing their jobs. Mhetu thinks the government needs to fix the currency and create a better environment for businesses. The Zimbabwean currency has changed many times but still faces problems like inflation. It's important to stabilize the currency to help businesses and create more jobs for people.

Parliament Seeks Answers On The Closure Of Formal Retail Outlets

The Commonwealth’s controversial Secretary-General, Baroness Scotland, is advocating for Zimbabwe’s readmission to the organisation, despite ongoing concerns about its human rights record.
As reported by <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14034385/baroness-brazen-zimbabwe-commonwealth.html">The Mail</a>, Baroness Scotland has recommended that Zimbabwe be allowed to return more than 20 years after its expulsion due to human rights violations under former President Robert Mugabe.
The current government, led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, has faced accusations of election rigging and the detention of political opponents.
In her Informal Assessment Report, Baroness Scotland said stakeholders within Zimbabwe have reported an “overall improved political environment.” She added:
<blockquote>
I am certain that with the help of the Commonwealth family, the country will flourish once again.
</blockquote>
However, Baroness Scotland’s tenure has been marred by controversy, including revelations that she spent £338,000 refurbishing her grace-and-favour Mayfair apartment, earning her the nickname “Baroness Brazen.”
She has been criticised for appointing allies to key positions since taking office. She is to step down early next year.
Baroness Scotland said Zimbabwe is “still in the early stages of its democratic journey,” citing issues like political prisoners and the need for freedom of association. Nevertheless, she believes that most of the core criteria for membership have been broadly met.
Baroness Scotland has proposed that Zimbabwe’s application move to the “next stage,” which involves consultations with member countries.
Since 2018, Zimbabwe has been seeking to rejoin the Commonwealth, motivated by the prestige of membership and access to markets with lower trade tariffs.
A Commonwealth spokesman confirmed that all stakeholders—including the government, opposition, civil society, media, and religious leaders—are eager to see Zimbabwe reintegrated into the Commonwealth family.
More: <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/">Pindula News</a>

Baroness Scotland wants Zimbabwe to rejoin the Commonwealth, despite problems with human rights. People are worried because the government has been accused of election fraud and arresting political opponents. Baroness Scotland says things are getting better in Zimbabwe, but there are still issues like political prisoners. She thinks Zimbabwe should be allowed back in the Commonwealth, but some people are not happy about it. The government, opposition, and other groups in Zimbabwe all want to be part of the Commonwealth again.

Commonwealth Chief Pushes For Zimbabwe's Readmission Despite Human Rights Concerns

South African opposition politician Mmusi Maimane has urged former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa to “get his house in order” before aspiring to win Zimbabwe’s elections slated for 2028.
Maimane’s comments came in response to Chamisa’s post on X, where he quoted a verse from the book of Ecclesiastes.
The verse, Ecclesiastes 9:11, reflects on the unpredictable nature of life, highlighting that success is not solely determined by strength, wisdom, or skill; rather, chance and timing also play crucial roles.
Maimane, who is a member of the South African Parliament and the leader of Build One South Africa (BOSA), reminded Chamisa that merely sharing Bible verses is insufficient without a concrete strategy to secure electoral victory. He wrote:
<blockquote>
We need you to get your house in order and properly prepare for 2028. It’s not easy to remove a dominant party and it requires a strong Nehemiah strategy. Faith with one hand and action with the other.
We cannot have one family running a whole country. Zimbabwe is not a Mnangagwa franchise.
</blockquote>
This follows ZANU PF’s push for a constitutional amendment that would extend President Mnangagwa’s current term from five years to seven, from 2028 to 2030.
One of the key resolutions from the recent ZANU PF 21st National People’s Conference held last week was to extend Mnangagwa’s term of office. The party said:
<blockquote>
The President and First Secretary of ZANU PF Party, His Excellency, Cde. Dr E. D. Mnangagwa’s term of office as President of the Republic of Zimbabwe and First Secretary of ZANU PF be extended beyond 2028 to 2030.
The Party and Government should, therefore, set in motion the necessary amendments to the National Constitution so as to give effect to this resolution.
</blockquote>

Mmusi Maimane tells Nelson Chamisa to stop just posting Bible verses if he wants to win elections in Zimbabwe in 2028. He says Chamisa needs a strong plan and strategy. South Africa's Build One South Africa leader warns that it's not easy to beat the ruling party without a solid plan. ZANU PF wants to extend President Mnangagwa's term until 2030. Chamisa needs to be more than just faith, he needs to take action too.

Maimane Warns Chamisa: Posting Bible Verses Won't Win Elections

Human rights activist Namatai Kwekweza has been unable to replace her Identification Document (ID) at the Department of Civil Registry due to being placed on the government’s “Stop List.”
Kwekweza, the founder of WELEAD Trust, was arrested on July 31 alongside two other pro-democracy campaigners, Robson Chere and Samuel Gwenzi.
They were charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly staging a protest at the Harare Magistrates Court.
The alleged demonstration aimed to demand the release of Jameson Timba, the interim leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), and other opposition activists.
After initially being denied bail by Harare Magistrate Ruth Moyo—who cited concerns about the activists potentially committing further offences and interfering with state witnesses—they were granted bail by the High Court on September 4.
Kwekweza, Chere, Gwenzi, and another individual, Vusa Moyo, were forcibly removed from a plane at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport by unidentified state agents. They were held incommunicado and tortured for several hours before being handed over to the police.
This was not Kwekweza’s first arrest; she has previously faced similar situations and has reportedly been under surveillance by state security agents due to her activism.
On Thursday, Kwekweza shared her experience on X, revealing how she discovered her blacklisted status while attempting to replace her worn-out ID at Market Square. Below is her account:
<blockquote>
Apparently I’m blacklisted by the Government so I can not get an Identification Document: They called it a STOP LIST!
Gather here if you have a moment: Today I went to replace my ID at Market Square. I went with the old ID to turn it in as part of requesting a new one as it is in a bad condition and I can no longer see my face.
The ID had been fading for some years and I never bothered to do a replacement earlier because at least I could see my face. Additionally, I was dreading the long queues so I waited it out. Now that my ID is in a bad state, I decided to replace it.
My experiences with the queues and general services were not bad at all. Generally, the queue moved quickly. The staff was pleasant, helpful, humorous, engaged, and efficient.
I passed through all the way to pay 10 USD for the replacement on I think counter 8 and eventually was requested to go to door number 17 where they would finish the process, take a picture, and give me an ID.
I almost believed this would be my best experience at a government documentation office. However, the colleagues at the registrar began to look at my papers weirdly and their screens.
A woman whom I was later told was the supervisor was called and she took my papers and asked me to follow her. She took me to a different office and already I felt anxious, I could tell something was wrong.
At this different office, I was informed that I was on a “Stop List” and I asked what it meant. She advised me it could result from a security issue, investigations, or pending court case.
This said they should not assist me, and instructed me to get my 10 USD refund and proceed to Makombe Building and go to security and investigations.
I went there and the first office I entered was CR 508, I met a rude gentleman who refused to introduce himself and only said you have issues at the courts and when all the issues are finished the courts should write to us and we will remove you from the list.
I went on to probe if the courts had actually given them an order to deny me an ID. I brought out my order from the high court which does not state turning in my ID card and my passport as a bail condition.
The man rudely brushed me off and referred me to the woman in the same office who basically repeated the same things. I was appealed and in disbelief.
I know people can be denied passports if it is a bail condition. But an ID card being denied is a new one. I further asked them both for their names and they refused to respond and referred me to door CR 510, which is the System Analyst Office.
I waited for over an hour and eventually met the man from that office. He was very polite and firm and basically told me that this issue was beyond them and I had to go to the courts.
When I produced my high court order still insisted that the courts had not ordered that I be denied my ID and passport, he then checked again in the system and informed me that since 2020 I had been on the stop list because of a case before the courts.
I then recalled that in 202o after my arrest, one of my bail conditions was to turn in my passport to the police which I did. Two years later in 2022, the state failed to prove a case and we won.
Subsequently, the police gave me back my passport as the matter was over. I was then informed that I had to go back to the courts and then write that the matter was indeed over before they could assist me with an ID and Passport document.
I thanked the man and left but I knew there was something fishy and unconstitutional about all this.
Firstly, what kind of nonsense is a “STOP List” secondly, what law informs that? Thirdly, even if the courts had ordered the police to take my passport as a bail condition to ensure I was not a flight risk in 2020, did the same order say that I should be denied an ID card which is a constitutional right?
Or maybe there are deeper systemic issues at play. Whatever the case might be what happened today is definitely unconstitutional and must be challenged!

Namatai Kwekweza, a human rights activist, couldn't get a new ID because she is on the government's "Stop List." She, along with two others, was arrested for protesting at a court to demand the release of opposition activists. When she tried to replace her old ID at Market Square, she was told she was blacklisted. She was told to go to court to sort it out. She felt this was unfair and unconstitutional. She questions why she can't get an ID even though she won a court case against the state and got her passport back. She believes this issue must be challenged.

Namatai Kwekweza Faces "Identity Crisis" After Government Blocks ID Replacement

Former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa revealed that he has yet to collect the pension he accrued from his time as a Cabinet Minister and Member of Parliament, which dates back 11 years.
Speaking at the memorial for his uncle, Chomunorwa Chamisa, in Chidyamakuni Village, Chiwara, Gutu, over the weekend, Chamisa criticised the current political climate in Zimbabwe.
<blockquote>
He said many people enter politics primarily to fulfil personal interests, seeking election to secure benefits such as residential stands, cars, and money rather than genuinely representing the needs of the community. Said Chamisa: Said Chamisa:
Since I left Parliament in 2018, I’m entitled to a pension. Despite being a Cabinet Minister and a Member of Parliament, I decided not to claim my pension.
According to the law, I am entitled to my benefits, but I chose to work for my upkeep until real change happens in this country.
I’m not in politics for money, and this is what we need. People who join politics should not do so for personal gain but to uplift the lives of citizens.
If you want a residential stand or a car, get a job. The crisis in Zimbabwean politics is that people seek election to serve their own interests.
They enter politics to secure residential stands, cars, and money. Politics should be about uplifting the lives of people and transforming the lives of the majority, not for personal gain.
</blockquote>
Some political commentators argue that CCC MPs did not resign from Parliament en masse after Sengezo Tshabangu, with State assistance, took over the party because they were driven by personal gain rather than principle.

Nelson Chamisa said he hasn't received his pension from his time as a Cabinet Minister and Member of Parliament for 11 years. He spoke out against politicians who enter politics for personal gain instead of helping the community. Chamisa chose not to claim his pension because he wants to work for real change in Zimbabwe. He believes politicians should focus on helping people, not just getting benefits like cars and money. Some people think other CCC politicians didn't quit Parliament because they cared more about themselves than doing the right thing.

"Chamisa Still To Collect Pension From Time As Cabinet Minister"

Nelson Chamisa says he is planning a political comeback nine months after stepping away from the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), a party he helped to establish.
Speaking to a crowd of villagers during his uncle Chamunorwa Chamisa’s memorial service in Masvingo recently, Chamisa said effective leadership requires integrity and “clean hands.” He said (via <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200034254/its-now-time-to-lead-zim-chamisa">NewsDay</a>):
<blockquote>
God wants this country to be built with clean hands, not individuals who have spilt blood, people who kill people, not people who murder citizens and people who steal.
</blockquote>
Chamisa said he had initially intended to lead street protests but was advised against pursuing a leadership position through violence or bloodshed. He said:
<blockquote>
The late [opposition MDC founding father Morgan] Tsvangirai died without fulfilling his goals, but we are there to do that. You should not be scared of what is happening because it points to an end to our suffering.
The time has come and we are there to make sure that we realise the goal. We are ready. I am planning ahead of this reality.
</blockquote>
Chamisa urged his followers to trust his judgment, assuring them that he would not engage in wrongdoing but would instead focus on his initiatives transparently. He said:
<blockquote>
We are planning across the whole spectrum, we are praying hard. I was told not spill blood. I had said I would go onto the streets with my supporters and God told me to stop. He warned me against taking power using force. God advised me against leading street protests.
</blockquote>
Chamisa resigned from CCC claiming that the party had been “contaminated” and “hijacked” by the government.
He accused the ruling ZANU PF party of undermining the CCC through the abuse of state institutions and bribing members to sabotage the party from within.

Nelson Chamisa wants to come back to politics with a new party called the Citizens Coalition for Change. He believes that Zimbabwe should be led by honest people, not those who hurt others or steal. Chamisa wants to lead without violence and bloodshed. He promises to be transparent and focus on helping the country. He left CCC because he thought it was being controlled by the government. Chamisa is ready to lead and make things better for the people.

ZANU PF Conference Resolutions On The State Of The Party

ZANU PF has passed a resolution allowing President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his term until 2030, but the president has rejected this proposal.
The announcement was made on Saturday by Patrick Chinamasa, the party’s secretary for legal affairs, during the ZANU PF Annual People’s Conference in Bulawayo.
According to the National Constitution, Mnangagwa is limited to a maximum of two terms and cannot run for office again when his current term ends in 2028.
Chinamasa said the party had resolved that Mnangagwa’s term as President and first secretary of ZANU PF should be extended beyond 2028 to 2030.
The resolution also calls for the party and government to initiate necessary amendments to the national Constitution to implement these changes.
However, Chinamasa clarified that Mnangagwa has no intention of serving beyond the constitutional limits, adding that the resolution “will not go anywhere.” He said:
<blockquote>
I understand clearly the motivation behind the resolution. We have scored great achievements in a very short time under the leadership of the president.
I understand the motivation is that these achievements should continue. Our department was being asked the question: ‘Is it legally possible (to extend Mnangagwa’s term)?’
The short answer is that yes it’s legally possible but to achieve it we would need two separate constitutional amendments.
The first amendment would be to remove the presidential term limits, the second amendment would be to remove the disability that the constitution places on the president to serve beyond 2028.
The constitutional bills must be separate, not in one constitutional bill. Each constitutional bill must be followed by a referendum.
</blockquote>
Chinamasa added that he had consulted Mnangagwa three times, and each time, Mnangagwa firmly rejected the idea of extending his presidency.
However, one of Mnangagwa’s staunch supporters, Taurai Kandishaya, ridiculed Chinamasa for claiming at the conference that the president had expressed a desire not to serve beyond 2028. He wrote on Facebook:
<blockquote>
So it happened that I asked my teacher if we were supposed to come for lessons during the holiday, and he looked at me and said NO.
I asked him again the next day, and he said NO. I asked him a third time, and he still said NO. Meanwhile, other students were happy, saying they had extra lessons during the holiday.
Someone then told me, “Young man, your teacher is saying NO because he sees that you don’t really want the lessons. Your question isn’t genuine; it’s just an inquiry. The fact that you’ve asked more than once means you have other motives.”
Moral of the story: Give people the answer they want.
</blockquote>

ZANU PF wanted Mnangagwa to be president until 2030, but he said NO. They wanted to change the law to let him stay longer, but he refused. Some people supported him, but others said he didn't really want to leave. In the end, Mnangagwa didn't agree to the extension, even though his party wanted it.

ZANU PF Passes Resolution For Mnangagwa's Term Extension To 2030

President Emmerson Mnangagwa remains firm in his position that he will not extend his term beyond 2028, despite proposals from the ruling party’s 10 provinces to extend it to 2030.
This announcement was made at the 21st ZANU PF Annual National People’s Conference in Bulawayo, on Saturday.
ZANU PF Secretary for Legal Affairs, Patrick Chinamasa, confirmed that Mnangagwa had no desire to extend his mandate beyond the constitutional limits. Said Chinamasa:
<blockquote>
His Excellency’s hand was involved in the drafting of the current Constitution. He is a constitutionalist and has made it clear that he will abide by the Constitution, which limits Presidential terms. He has no intention of serving beyond 2028.
</blockquote>
Chinamasa said the topic of extending Mnangagwa’s term has been discussed multiple times since August 2024, with the President remaining consistent in his stance.
All provinces voted in favour of extending Mnangagwa’s term as President of Zimbabwe and First Secretary of ZANU PF until 2030.
Chinamasa explained that extending the term would require two separate amendments: one to remove the fixed presidential term from the Constitution and another to eliminate the restrictions preventing Mnangagwa from serving beyond 2028.
Chinamasa said throughout his consultations with the President, sought clarity on this matter. He said:
<blockquote>
I was not satisfied with the initial responses, but after repeated discussions, the President remained resolute in his position. He is committed to adhering to the Constitution and will not seek an extension beyond 2028.
I was granted a meeting in August where I raised the issue to find out what his position was. I was given an answer. I was not satisfied.
I asked again for a meeting in mid-September to seek an answer. I was given the same answer that I was given in August.
But just to be sure whether I was in the right direction, I called and asked for another meeting which His Excellency granted me which was on Tuesday and this time I had a witness, I was not alone fortunately.
I was given the same answer that I was given in August, September and Tuesday. Just before I took to the podium, I whispered in the ear of the President “Is what you told me at the three meetings still standing” and he was emphatic, it still stands.
</blockquote>
Chinamasa told the Conference that the President has consistently demonstrated a firm and unwavering stance on the issue of extending his term. He said:
<blockquote>
I must say each time I went to ask him, I got the impression that he was angry with me for raising issues where he made pronouncements locally, and while he was in the People’s Republic of China.
Given my position, I should always heed what the leadership says but I wanted to get it from the horse’s mouth.
I want to repeat what he said on Tuesday. He said he is a constitutionalist and for certain, he is one.
Furthermore, His Excellency’s hand was involved in the drafting of the current Constitution.
</blockquote>
However, some political observers believe Chinamasa’s statements about Mnangagwa being a constitutionalist were a calculated move after Mnangagwa noticed growing resistance to his 2030 campaign.
They argue that if Mnangagwa truly opposed the 2030 campaign, the resolution would not have been included at the conference’s conclusion, as he must approve all resolutions before they are passed and announced.
Thus, the inclusion of the resolution suggests that Mnangagwa may actually desire the extension of his term.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said he will not stay in power beyond 2028, even though his party wanted him to stay until 2030. He made this clear at a conference in Bulawayo. His party's legal affairs head confirmed that Mnangagwa will follow the rules and not extend his term. The topic of extending his term has been discussed since 2024, but Mnangagwa has stayed firm. Some think he actually wants to stay longer, despite what he says. Overall, Mnangagwa is sticking to the rules and will not extend his term past 2028.

I Will Not Extend My Term Beyond 2028 - Mnangagwa

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has called on party members to guard against infiltration and maintain unity to protect the gains of the liberation struggle.
In his keynote address at the official opening of the 21st ZANU PF Annual National People’s Conference in Bulawayo on Friday, Mnangagwa said the party is in “safe hands” under the current leadership. He said:
<blockquote>
Under our watch, as this generation of leaders, our ZANU PF party ‘is in safe hands’. ZANU PF and the people of Zimbabwe are one.
We’re singing one national anthem, flying one national flag and working hard towards the attainment of our national Vision 2030 for the prosperity, modernisation, industrialisation and development of our beloved motherland.
However, party systems must be tightened and insulated against infiltration by divisive elements and malcontents who have no regard for the political order that is guaranteed by the Supreme Party Constitution.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa said the party’s restructuring programme, starting from cells and villages, must urgently result in the creation of a credible party membership database. He said:
<blockquote>
I am aware that in some districts, chaotic records of members are deliberate and preferred by those holding party positions to gain favour or advantage over others.
This is unacceptable and must stop. Party structures are critical for a strong foundation of the revolution.
We should guard against infiltration into the structures and not to destroy the structures.
</blockquote>
Reports indicate that there are divisions within ZANU PF regarding succession, particularly concerning President Mnangagwa’s potential plans to extend his time in office beyond 2028.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is warning ZANU PF members to be careful of people who want to cause trouble and divide the party. He wants everyone to stay together to protect the country's freedom. Mnangagwa says the party is doing well under his leadership and they need to work together for prosperity. He also wants the party to be strong and not let anyone who wants to cause problems join. Some members are not keeping good records of party members, and this needs to change. There are disagreements in the party about who will be the next leader after Mnangagwa.

Mnangagwa Warns ZANU PF Members To Guard Against Infiltration By Divisive Elements

ZANU PF deputy president Constantino Chiwenga has urged the party to focus on improving Zimbabweans’ lives and boosting the economy.
Addressing party delegates at the ongoing 21st National People’s Conference in Bulawayo, Chiwenga did not support the “2030 Mnangagwa” campaign, which seeks to extend President Mnangagwa’s rule beyond the two-term limit.
While many delegates from Harare, Midlands, Mashonaland, and Matabeleland provinces have called for Mnangagwa to lead until 2030, Chiwenga chose to address economic and food security issues instead of endorsing a third term for Mnangagwa. He said:
<blockquote>
It is therefore essential that we use this conference to develop resolutions that drive industrialisation and propel our economic trajectory towards modernisation.
This will fulfil the vision of our President for the realisation of Vision 2030. As the ruling party, we should value and never take for granted the trust that the people of Zimbabwe place in us through their votes.
</blockquote>
Chiwenga emphasised the supremacy of the party over the government, urging the implementation of party conference resolutions to improve livelihoods and ensure economic growth.
He stressed the importance of disciplined leadership, innovation, and industry, advocating for an education system aligned with learners’ needs and supported by research and technology.
Chiwenga also underscored the need for a stable currency to boost trade and commerce and called for economic empowerment to take precedence over political consolidation, promoting industrialisation and modernisation in line with Vision 2030. He said:
<blockquote>
As such, we gather here to review the implementation of resolutions from the 20th National People’s Conference held in the Midlands in 2023.
Our revolutionary party president continues to ensure that the development of our nation leaves no one and no place behind.
With the conclusion of the National Development Strategy (NDS1) nearing, this conference gives us the opportunity to create strategies to overcome challenges such as the El Niño drought, the COVID-19 pandemic, and food security issues…
Our growth must ensure equitable development, leaving no one and no place behind.
</blockquote>
Chiwenga, despite his hesitance to support Mnangagwa’s bid for a third term, acknowledged Mnangagwa’s significant contributions to ZANU PF and praised his leadership in agriculture, mining, and tourism.
He said Mnangagwa has been a key figure in Zimbabwe’s political landscape since the 1960s, describing him as a loyal and dedicated member of the party.
Chiwenga commended Mnangagwa for his role in resisting white minority rule and highlighted his resilience against neo-colonial challenges like illegal sanctions, reflecting the spirit of “hunhu” and “ubuntu.”
The Vice President concluded his speech by urging ZANU PF members to remain united and disciplined in their mission to build a peaceful and prosperous Zimbabwe. He said:
<blockquote>
I urge you all to be disciplined cadres, work together, and uphold our core values of peace, unity, and development as we strive to improve the lives of our people.
Let us learn from the president, in whom we have total confidence, as a peacebuilder, unifier, and champion of development.

Chiwenga Sidesteps "2030 Mnangagwa" Campaign In ZANU PF Conference Speech

Vice President Constantino Chiwenga reportedly urged party members during the ZANU PF Central Committee meeting this week to avoid the disunity that characterised the events leading up to the 2017 military intervention that ousted the late Robert Mugabe.
According to <a href="https://www.theindependent.co.zw/local-news/article/200034046/chiwenga-warns-zanu-pf-of-2017-as-senior-officials-spar-over-ed2030-campaign">The Independent</a>, Central Committee members who attended the meeting said Chiwenga warned against rampant indiscipline within the party, which he claimed was causing divisions and infighting. Said an unnamed ZANU PF official:
<blockquote>
The tension was definitely there and you could feel it in the room. Chiwenga said we want unity. He said ‘We don’t want to go back to the 2017 period’, leaving his words open to interpretation.
The President was silent on the issue. He did not respond to the calls for a 2030 extension. He spoke about the need for discipline and unity in the party, consistency and perseverance so that they achieve the 2030 Vision.
The ED2030 slogan was not banned, but the President pointed out that it was not an official slogan. What was also interesting was that no one chanted the ED2030 slogan during the Central Committee meeting.
</blockquote>
ZANU PF national chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri issued a strong warning against factionalism within the party, announcing plans to address the issue after the conference, starting with Harare.
She reportedly spoke with determination, saying “heads will roll” as she sought to restore unity and discipline among members.
According to a senior ZANU PF official, both Mnangagwa and Chiwenga are keen to prevent any situation that could embarrass the party on the global stage.
The official said tensions are already high, particularly following the controversial War Veterans League congress in Gweru earlier this month and reports of the youth league promoting the 2030 agenda.
According to the official, it is clear that both leaders recognize the potential consequences of the public rift, especially since Chiwenga’s supporters have expressed their disapproval of the 2030 initiative.
However, several Central Committee members voiced their support for Mnangagwa’s continued leadership, praising his achievements over the past seven years and expressing their willingness to back him if he decides to stay in power until 2030.
Another Central Committee member claimed that all 10 provinces have already agreed to extend Mnangagwa’s term.
The official said if this resolution is approved on Saturday, it will indicate that the President intends to remain in power.

Vice President Chiwenga told ZANU PF party members to stay united and avoid fighting like in 2017. The party is split on supporting President Mnangagwa and his 2030 campaign. Chiwenga wants to avoid embarrassing the party internationally. Party leaders are trying to stop factions from causing trouble. Some members support Mnangagwa staying in power until 2030, but others disagree. The party will decide soon about Mnangagwa's term extension. They want to avoid more division and maintain unity in the party.

Chiwenga Urges ZANU PF To Avoid Disunity Reminiscent Of 2017

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has warned against factionalism and “waywardness” within ZANU PF, calling for strict adherence to the party’s Constitution, rules, and procedures.
Speaking to the ZANU PF Central Committee, Mnangagwa urged members to guard against infiltration while ensuring they strictly follow the party’s Constitution. He said:
<blockquote>
We must always guard against infiltration and waywardness within party structures. We need to address abuses decisively without abandoning our structures. Hidden agendas create such abuses.
The solution to challenges, for example within the DCC, is not to dismantle the structure but to correct the issues through strict adherence to the party Constitution, rules, and procedures.
As a key decision-making body of our party, ZANU PF, it is our responsibility as the Central Committee to ensure that all members stay on the right path.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa’s calls for party members to respect the Constitution seem insincere, especially since he hasn’t condemned influential figures like Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister Owen Mudha Ncube and Local Government Minister Daniel Garwe.
These officials have called for an extension of his term, even though the Constitution limits presidents to two terms.
In Masvingo Province, there have been calls for Mnangagwa to stay in power beyond 2028 when he will finish his two terms.
The slogan “ED 2030” was first heard in Masvingo and is now commonly used at ZANU PF meetings across the country.
Mnangagwa’s warnings come as reports indicate growing divisions within ZANU PF. Allegedly, one group supports his 2030 agenda, while another backs Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.
Meanwhile, Job Sikhala, the Chairperson of the National Democratic Working Group (NDWG), has advised Zimbabweans to avoid getting involved in ZANU PF’s internal conflicts. Said Sikhala:
<blockquote>
ZANU PF’s infighting should be observed from a distance. Let them battle each other. I caution every Zimbabwean to be careful not to be used again, as happened in 2017.
The masses took to the streets in November 2017, believing they were removing Mugabe for their benefit, only to be told by Patrick Chinamasa that it was a ZANU PF issue.

President Mnangagwa said ZANU PF members should follow the rules and constitution of the party to prevent division and wrongdoing. Some influential members want him to extend his term beyond two years, which goes against the constitution. There are growing tensions within the party, with some supporting Mnangagwa's plan for 2030 and others backing Vice President Chiwenga. People are being warned to stay out of ZANU PF's conflicts so they don't get used by the party, like what happened in 2017.

Mnangagwa Warns Against "Waywardness" In ZANU PF

Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has dismissed reports of factional infighting within ZANU PF.
Some media outlets have claimed that certain ZANU PF members are advocating for constitutional amendments to remove presidential term limits, allowing President Emmerson Mnangagwa to run for a third term. Allegedly, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga leads a faction opposing this move.
Speaking to The Herald at the ZANU PF headquarters in Harare on Tuesday, Ziyambi insisted that the party remains united and there is no internal conflict. He said:
<blockquote>
I hear them from you, the media. We actually sit down and laugh and say ‘can you see what they are writing about us when we are together?’ So we are aware that the media people always want to create fictitious divisions that are not there.
As you can see we are ZANU PF, we are going to our Politburo meeting, marking the start of the conference and you see all of us there, chatting jovially, but when you see us chatting jovially you insinuate that they were fighting. 
I don’t know where that comes from, But we expect it. That’s the democratic rights that we were given to speak but we think that you must lie to a certain extent, not cause alarm and despondency.
</blockquote>
In a statement issued on Tuesday night, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Jenfan Muswere also dismissed claims of factionalism, asserting that there is unity within both the Presidium and the Government. He said:
<blockquote>
His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa was democratically elected by millions of Zimbabweans in 2023 and his term of office is still running.
The same applies in terms of his democratic election as President and the First Secretary of ZANU PF.
So, effectively there is no vacancy and the Government and the Party leadership is properly constituted in terms of the constitutions.
There is unity, love, comradeship and harmony in the Presidium and Government. Thus, there is no discord in the cockpit and at the present moment, the Government is seized with ensuring the betterment of the people and rallying behind the President as he spearheads and shepherds the nation towards an upper middle-income society.

But Ziyambi says they are all friends and laugh at the rumors. Another minister, Jenfan Muswere, also says there is unity in the party and government. They both deny any fighting and say they are focused on helping the people. They want everyone to know they are working together and not against each other.

Ziyambi Dismisses Claims Of Factionalism Within ZANU PF

ZANU PF, the ruling party in Zimbabwe, has sought Canada’s support in its bid to rejoin the Commonwealth.
Zimbabwe’s membership was suspended in 2002 for breaching the Harare Declaration, leading then-President Robert Mugabe to withdraw the country from the organisation the following year when the Commonwealth refused to lift the suspension.
Since assuming office in 2017 after a popular military coup, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has expressed a desire to rejoin the Commonwealth.
For Zimbabwe to be readmitted, it must adhere to the fundamental values outlined in the Commonwealth Charter, including democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights such as freedom of expression.
Addressing the media after meeting with Canadian Ambassador Adler Aristilde, ZANU PF Secretary for Information Christopher Mutsvangwa said the ruling party has appealed to Canada, an influential Commonwealth member, to support its readmission. Said Mutsvangwa (via <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/zanu-pf-begs-canada-for-backing-in-bid-for-commonwealth-readmission/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>):
<blockquote>
We also expressed our desire to rejoin the Commonwealth and our expectation is an influential Canada in the Commonwealth could also push for Zimbabwe’s credentials so that we become a part of this club of friends which historically means a lot to us.
</blockquote>
The Commonwealth, or the Commonwealth of Nations, is a political association of 56 member countries, most of which were former territories of the British Empire.
The organization promotes peace, democracy, and development, providing a platform for member states to collaborate on various issues.
Commonwealth membership offers numerous benefits to its member countries, including access to educational programs, scholarships, and initiatives like the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan.
The Commonwealth also promotes trade and investment among member countries, with various economic partnerships and development programs.
The organisation facilitates cultural exchange and mutual understanding through events like the Commonwealth Games.

Zimbabwe's ruling party, ZANU PF, wants Canada's help to rejoin the Commonwealth, a group of countries. Zimbabwe was suspended in 2002 for breaking rules. President Mnangagwa wants back in but must follow the group's rules on democracy and human rights. ZANU PF asked Canada, a big member, for support. The Commonwealth helps countries work together, trade, and learn. It also offers educational programs and events like the Commonwealth Games. ZANU PF hopes Canada will help Zimbabwe join the Commonwealth again.

ZANU PF Requests Canadian Support For Commonwealth Readmission

Self-exiled former ZANU PF Politburo member Walter Mzembi says succession is not on the agenda for the party, contrary to speculation.
On Tuesday, October 22, ZANU PF held its 379th Ordinary Session of the Politburo, marking the beginning of the 21st ZANU PF Annual National People’s Conference.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is also the ZANU PF First Secretary, is reportedly planning to stay in power beyond 2028 when his second and final term expires.
However, some ZANU PF members, including Mnangagwa’s deputy, Vice President Chiwenga, are said to oppose extending Mnangagwa’s rule beyond current constitutional provisions.
Mzembi believes that succession is not, and will not be, on the agenda at the ZANU PF Annual National People’s Conference, but rather, Mnangagwa will succeed himself.
Posting on X this Wednesday, Mzembi said a resolution confirming an extension of Mnangagwa’s rule will be announced and celebrated with applause, singing, and dancing.
Following this, the government will be directed to amend the Constitution to include continuity clauses for the entire administration, including MPs’ tenures. Wrote Mzembi:
<blockquote>
Succession is not on the Agenda as anticipated by speculators who do not know how Zanu PF operates, it will not be up for Debate but will be on the Resolutions, the incumbent will succeed himself to 2030 as administrative Resolution Numero Uno, which shall be announced and received with deafening applause, singing and dancing thereafter through a directive to Government amend the Constitution which shall be cleverly done as wholesale continuity clauses for the entire administration including MPs tenures and all. A conflicted Parliament is waiting to endorse as it benefits from a minimum two-year extension after all in a 2028 gamble many, probably the majority will not come back!

ZANU PF Party will not talk about who will take over after Mnangagwa. Mnangagwa wants to stay as president even after his term ends in 2028. Some party members disagree. A former party member, Mzembi, says there will be no debate at the conference. They will only celebrate Mnangagwa staying in power. The government will change the rules so Mnangagwa can stay longer. People in Parliament might get more time in power too. Many won't come back in 2028 because of this.

ZANU PF Will Endorse, Not Debate Extending Mnangagwa's Stay In Power - Mzembi

ZANU PF has dismissed allegations by former Botswana President Ian Khama that it interfered in regional electoral processes to support fellow ruling parties.
The party’s Director for Information and Publicity denied any involvement in elections in neighbouring countries and accused Khama of being a Western stooge engaged in regime change efforts.
He also claimed that Khama is unpopular in his own country and is likely to lose the upcoming elections. Said Marapira (<a href="https://newziana.co.zw/zanu-pf-dismisses-ex-president-khamas-electoral-accusations/">New Ziana</a>):
<blockquote>
Nothing pleases us more than seeing lackeys and lapdogs of imperialism in sixes and sevens as they see their neo-colonialist agenda blown to smithereens by the resurgent winds of pan-Africanism sweeping across mother Africa.
To blame ZANU PF for your lack of ideological soundness is not only blatantly denialist but also puerile madness.
ZANU PF does not interfere in the expression of their wishes by sons and daughters of Africa. It is those who see the writing on the wall and fail to accept it through escapist drive who wish to deny the people their voice. We wish the people of Botswana more and more glory. Happy elections Botswana!
</blockquote>
Speaking at a campaign rally in Botswana, Khama labelled ZANU PF a “regional cancer,” accusing the party of undermining democracy throughout Southern Africa by allegedly supporting other ruling parties.

ZANU PF said they didn't meddle in other countries' elections to help other ruling parties. They also said Khama is a puppet of the West trying to change governments. ZANU PF thinks Khama will lose his own election. They say they believe in letting African people choose their leaders. Khama called ZANU PF a problem in the region, accusing them of not wanting democracy. They argued back, saying they support African voices. Khama spoke out at a rally in Botswana against ZANU PF.

SADC Organ Chair Hails Peaceful Elections In Mozambique

A faction of the Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) party, primarily composed of members loyal to former leader Nelson Chamisa, has voiced its opposition to Zimbabwe’s bid for readmission into the Commonwealth under President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.
The Commonwealth, or the Commonwealth of Nations, is a political association of 56 member countries, most of which were former territories of the British Empire.
The organization promotes peace, democracy, and development, providing a platform for member states to collaborate on various issues.
In a statement, party spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi outlined reasons why the Commonwealth should reject Zimbabwe’s application to rejoin the group under the current government.
Mkwananzi criticised the general elections held in August 2023, describing them as “deeply flawed” and marred by significant voter intimidation, manipulation by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), and unresolved irregularities in vote tallying.
He also pointed out the ongoing incarceration of faction leader Jameson Timba and other party activists since June 2024, among other issues. Said Mkwananzi:
<blockquote>
In addition to the failed electoral system, the opposition faces unprecedented attacks. Our members, including Amos Chibaya and Senator Timba, have been unjustly arrested and detained without trial, while others remain behind bars under politically motivated charges.
The fraudulent recall of 15 MPs and 17 councillors by individuals unaffiliated with our party demonstrates the regime’s subversion of democratic norms.
Further, the funds meant for our party have been diverted to imposters, rendering us financially constrained in fighting for democracy.
Zimbabwe’s judiciary has been captured by the executive, with rulings that consistently favour the government while disregarding constitutional rights.
Chief Justice Luke Malaba’s tenure extension, ruled unconstitutional by legal experts, casts a shadow over the judiciary’s credibility.
Corruption scandals such as the ZESA and Kuvimba Mining House cases continue to erode public trust, while the victims of state-sponsored violence, including opposition members, still await justice.
</blockquote>
Mkwananzi added that, given these gross violations of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, the Commonwealth should reject Zimbabwe’s application for readmission until genuine reforms are implemented.
He said that Zimbabwe must restore democratic integrity and accountability before it can be welcomed back into the international community.

Some people in a political party in Zimbabwe do not want the country to join the Commonwealth under their current leader. They say the recent elections were not fair, and many people were intimidated. The party members have been arrested, and the government is accused of corruption. They want Zimbabwe to make changes before joining the Commonwealth. They think the country needs to improve democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. They want the international community to wait until these changes happen before letting Zimbabwe back in.

Former Chamisa Loyalists In CCC Opposed To Zimbabwe's Commonwealth Readmission Under Mnangagwa

Zimbabwe’s main opposition party, the Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC), reportedly owes its workers over US$1.2 million in salary arrears accumulated over two years.
According to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200033908/ccc-burns-over-us12m-salary-arrears">NewsDay</a>, these employees, contracted before the party split, were assigned various roles in the technical department between 2022 and 2023 and were promised salary payments upon disbursement of political party funds.
The CCC has since split into three factions following the departure of party leader Nelson Chamisa in January this year.
The factions, led by Jameson Timba, Welshman Ncube, and Sengezo Tshabangu, are currently battling for control of the financial allocation under the political parties fund.
Employees who spoke to NewsDay expressed frustration, stating that party leaders have not addressed their concerns.
Each worker is owed between US$10,000 and US$50,000 over the 24 months. The workers, who claim they are not aligned with any CCC faction, have threatened legal action against party leaders.
The Timba-led CCC spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi confirmed the issue of salary arrears to NewsDay. He said:
<blockquote>
The employees were due to be paid through the political grant which has been diverted to impostors. We implore those with the money to consider and prioritise the workers in this situation.
</blockquote>
Tshabangu’s personal assistant Nqobizitha Mlilo also acknowledged the debt. He said:
<blockquote>
Senator Tshabangu is aware of this issue. When he became aware of the issue, he requested to be furnished with the various contracts of the employees. He is now in possession of those contracts.
</blockquote>
The Welshman-Ncube-led CCC spokesperson Willias Madzimure said he was not aware of the issue, but acknowledged that there were individuals employed by the party. Said Madzimure:
<blockquote>
The office of the secretary-general deals with that issue, including those who call themselves secretary-general of the party. They should respond.
There is a need to authenticate who were the employees, so the office of the secretary-general is better placed to respond to that.
</blockquote>
Posting on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, October 21, Hwende denied that the party owed its workers US$1.2 million.
He added that they will receive CCC’s ZiG22,116,500 from the ZiG70 million allocated to political parties that participated in the August 2023 harmonised elections. He wrote:
<blockquote>
The CCC party led by Prof Welshman Ncube does not owe anyone this kind of money. This money which will be paid soon will be used for party programmes and Activities.
We are busy finalising payment registers for our Elections Agents that worked for the party during 2023 Elections.

Party leaders acknowledge the debt but have not addressed the issue. A spokesperson denied the debt and said workers will be paid soon. Employees are owed between $10,000 and $50,000 each.

CCC Owes Workers Over US$1.2 Million In Unpaid Salaries

A covert operation to silence dissenting voices in Zimbabwe is reportedly underway amid claims that President Emmerson Mnangagwa intends to remain in power beyond 2028 when his second and final term ends.
Despite Mnangagwa’s repeated assertions that he will respect the Constitution and step down at the end of his term, <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/zimbabwes-state-security-agencies-sniff-out-political-dissidents/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> has cited high-ranking Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), army intelligence, and police officials who claim a secretive and widespread operation is targeting outspoken individuals labelled as “political dissidents” across Zimbabwe.
The plan reportedly involves arresting and detaining key opposition figures, activists, and journalists on trumped-up charges ahead of ZANU PF’s congress in 2027. Said a source:
<blockquote>
This is part of an effort to stifle growing dissent ahead of crucial leadership renewal within ZANU PF at the 2027 congress, and subsequent elections in 2028.
</blockquote>
The source claims there is a list of prominent people who may face charges ranging from rape and murder to treason. Said the source:
<blockquote>
Among them are several key members of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), a party that has been gaining significant ground in the urban and rural strongholds alike.
Former Mkoba constituency Member of Parliament Amos Chibaya who is languishing in remand prison for allegedly inciting violence is one of their targets.
Other high-profile figures targeted include Tendai Biti, the outspoken lawyer who has long been a thorn in the side of the government.
Another notable figure on the wanted list is Joana Mamombe, a young opposition MP who has faced previous arrests.
She has been vocal on issues of human rights violations and the need for political reform, is reportedly being pursued for alleged subversive activities and links to foreign funders, a claim often used by the government to crack down on activists.
</blockquote>
Job Sikhala, a prominent defender of civil liberties who has been arrested over sixty times, is reportedly under surveillance. Added the source:
<blockquote>
Several human rights lawyers and activists are also being pursued. Some are Zimbabwe’s most renowned human rights defenders.
They have reportedly been marked for arrest while defending opposition figures in court.
Authorities allege they are part of a broader network attempting to undermine State institutions, though these claims have been met with widespread scepticism.
</blockquote>
The report also alleges that the undercover crackdown has extended beyond Zimbabwe’s borders, particularly targeting activists in the United Kingdom (UK) who have consistently organised protests against Mnangagwa.

Zimbabwe's president is trying to stay in power even after his term ends in 2028. He is targeting people who speak out against him, like opposition politicians and activists. Many of them may face false charges like rape or treason. The government is also going after human rights lawyers and activists who defend these dissenters. The crackdown is not just in Zimbabwe but also in the UK. The president is accused of trying to silence anyone who disagrees with him.
