By Own Correspondent| ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa while ignoring complaints concerning the gaining of Draconian Presidential powers by him, has said he is happy with the Polad club of small parties.

His comments come as one of the Polad members, Prof Lovemore Madhuku slammed Mnangagwa’s plans to change the constitution so he becomes an immutable – infallible president.

“This govt which has been running our country since 1980 they don’t respect the view that the constitution is higher than other laws. They take the view that the constitution is like any other law… And here I am speaking as Lovemore Madhuku the citizen,” said Madhuku at a recent debate over the matter.

“The first one was the economic committee, which hosted the economic forum last time, which in my view, did a sterling work,” said Mnangagwa.

He continued,

“It brought together the major stakeholders in our economy; industry, commerce, mining, agriculture, Consumer Council (of Zimbabwe) and labour, were all represented.

“They submitted their reports. There was the governance and the constitutional legislative committee chaired by Professor Lovemore Madhuku. They also presented their report which was broken into major two components — the process of the constitutional amendments and the content of the amendments.

“The third one was the one on international relations, which is mandated to deal with engagement and re-engagement. They have done a fantastic job, which I was not aware of.”
