Proposed amendments to the Constitution. I think as the Law Society @lawsocietyofzim, we have to trade a very fine line between what is political and what is legal.

So the constitution does provide for amendments to the Constitution and how it is to be done, and from the President’s speech, I think he was very, very careful to make to stay on the right side of what the law says, and said these processes must be done in with respect to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and any processes leading to any proposed amendment must be done in terms of the Spirit of the Law, which means, if there is to be a referendum, it has to be done strictly observing all our electoral rules and law and make sure that it is not something that is Shepherd where people are shepherded to a particular end. Things have to be done, transparently, editable. Thank you, says Lison Ncube
