War Veteran Claims Mnangagwa Behaves Like A Foreigner Who Doesn’t Care About Zim

By A Correspondent–
A former Masvingo Provincial War Veterans chairperson, Isaah Muzenda, has issued a stern warning to President Emmerson Mnangagwa over the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, saying signing it into law would mark a decisive breaking point in his leadership.

Speaking in an interview with Masvingo Mirror last week, Muzenda said while it is procedurally acceptable for Cabinet and the Senate to deliberate on constitutional changes, the President would be “crossing the line” if he ultimately assents to the Bill.

“It is his constitutional right to allow debate in Cabinet and Parliament,” Muzenda said. “But the moment he signs that Bill into law, that will be the final straw.”

Muzenda said many liberation war veterans are angered by the proposed amendments and are closely monitoring developments.

He warned that former fighters would not hesitate to respond if the outcome of the process undermines the principles they fought for during the liberation struggle.

“As war veterans we are carefully watching this process. We are definitely going to act if what we fought and suffered for is compromised. To begin with, we have already taken the matter to court,” he said.

Among his concerns, Muzenda cited a clause he claims would allow the President to be elected by Parliament rather than through a direct popular vote. He described this as unconstitutional and criticised the reported plan to proceed without a referendum.

“Mnangagwa’s amendment has a provision that says the president be elected by Parliament as opposed to direct popular vote. This is so unconstitutional.

The situation is worsened by the intention not to hold a referendum,” he said.
Muzenda went further, accusing Mnangagwa of governing in a manner detached from the interests of ordinary Zimbabweans. He alleged that past leadership failures stemmed from leaders he described as lacking full national allegiance.Zimbabwean history books

“Zimbabwe is in this mess because it has been in the hands of foreigners for too long. It’s an open secret that Mugabe was a Malawian.

We won’t allow the mutilation of our Constitution by leaders who have no interest of the country,” said Muzenda.

The remarks add to mounting tensions surrounding the proposed constitutional changes, which have sparked sharp debate across political and civic spaces.
