Farai Dziva|The amendment of the Constitution is a calculated gambit by Emmerson Mnangagwa -meant to consolidate power, MDC’ s Douglas Mwonzora has said.

“The proposed constitutional amendments are designed to further constrict democratic space and concentrate power in the President.

They are also designed to deal with Zanu PF’s succession conundrum. The concept of one centre of power at all levels is archaic.

We should never allow the planned mutilation of the People’s Constitution. Zimbabweans voted overwhelmingly for this constitution. It represents an incremental gain in its democratisation agenda. Never again should we allow concentration of power in one man,” argued Mwonzora.
