Zim Breaking News : Tendai Biti, Jameson Timba, Lovemore Madhuku, Douglas Mwonzora, Job Sikhala, Jacob Ngarivhume and Fadzayi Mahere have been taken to court following an urgent chamber application filed by Zanu-Pf activist Talent Rusere seeking a prohibitory interdict to restrain them from inciting public disorder over the Constitution Amendment Bill (No. 3) of 2026.
In the application filed at the High Court in Harare under Case Number HC/26, Rusere cites the seven individuals as the first to seventh respondents, with Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Hon. Kazembe Kazembe named as the eighth respondent.
The applicant alleges that the respondents are wilfully misrepresenting the Constitution Amendment Bill by falsely claiming it requires a referendum, thereby causing public alarm and disorder.
According to the court papers, the Bill seeks to amend Sections 95 and 143 regarding Election Cycles (duration), which are not "entrenched" provisions that would mandate a referendum.
It see this just as another move by Zanu PF to keep the nation’s attention fixed on amendment No. 3 away from the substantive issue of rigged elections and that any electoral process without first implementing the reforms will too be rigged!
The case should have gone to the Constitutional Court since it hinges on what the constitution says!
Still, the seven amigos will welcome the spot light!

ReplyDeleteForget what Chiwenga is saying about amendment No. 3, he is a dictator through and through. After 46 years of rigged elections we should be aiming at ending the dictatorship and not swapping one dictator for another!
