Mpofu was quoted by state media as saying that consultations to pave way for the constitution’s amendment were already underway.

Zanu PF has begun a process of amending the party and country constitution to consolidate their grip on power, Secretary for Administration, Obert Mpofu has said.

“Consultations that will pave way for the amendment of the constitution have been sanctioned by the politburo. So we have already put in place a committee which is working on the modalities.

“For example, the positions of secretaries are out-dated and they will be amended up to the praesidium,” said Mpofu.
