By A Correspondent| Opposition FORUS party leader Irene Muyenziwa has called on Zimbabweans to defend constitutionalism and reject political maneuvers that undermine democracy.

In a statement, Muyenziwa urged citizens to demand accountability and adherence to the rule of law as a nation.

“Zimbabwe’s constitution is the foundation of our democracy, and it must be respected,” she declared. Any attempt to sidestep its provisions risks destabilizing the country and eroding the trust of the people in their leaders,” she said

Muyenziwa’s remarks were particularly pointed as she criticized the controversial “ED 2030 push,” a move by factions supporting President Mnangagwa to extend his tenure beyond constitutional limits.

She warned that such actions could trigger a constitutional crisis and urged the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to intervene where necessary to ensure Zimbabwe remains on a democratic path.

In addition to her domestic advocacy, Muyenziwa is strengthening Zimbabwe’s ties with regional leaders.

Her recent engagement with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum highlighted her focus on fostering regional cooperation.

“Our challenges are not isolated. Zimbabwe is part of a greater African family, and together, we can forge a path that benefits all our people,” she said
