Jane Mlambo| MDC Secretary General, Douglas Mwonzora has castigated war veterans for seeking to change the Presidential age limit from the current 40 to 52 saying Zimbabweans voted overwhelmingly in favour of the current set up when they endorsed the new constitution in 2013.
Posting on Twitter, Mwonzora said the war veterans behavior is meant to distract the nation from the economic current catastrophe that has seen prices of basic commodities going up while the local bond notes continue to lose value to the United States dollar.
The statement by war veterans that they want to agitate for a change in the presidential age limit is designed to distract the nation from the economic catastrophe. Zimbabweans in an overwhelming referendum vote in 2013 set the age limit at 40. Simple!
