In a bold move, citizens leaders Gift Ostallos Siziba and Amos Chibaya led a consultation programme on Sunday to resist President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s third term agenda. This comes as Mnangagwa’s supporters push for the extension of his term of office beyond constitutional limits, sparking widespread concern among citizens .

According to Siziba, citizens have a crucial role to play in defending the constitution and upholding democratic principles.

He emphasized the importance of galvanizing the political base for the Democratic alternative, led by President Chamisa, and expressed gratitude to the people of Manicaland for their unwavering commitment to democracy.

The resistance to Mnangagwa’s 2030 agenda is gaining momentum, with many Zimbabweans taking a stand against the proposed constitutional amendments. Former Zanu PF political commissar and minister Saviour Kasukuwere has also joined the chorus, urging citizens to unite against Mnangagwa’s alleged plan to extend his presidency beyond the constitutional limit of 2028 .

Kasukuwere described the plan as a clear attempt at state capture and power consolidation for self-serving ends, warning that amending the constitution to extend Mnangagwa’s tenure represents a calculated assault on governance principles.

As the debate rages on, it is clear that Zimbabweans are determined to defend their constitution and uphold democratic principles. The resistance to the 2030 agenda is a testament to the power of citizen activism and the importance of holding leaders accountable.
