Jane Mlambo| Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) Secretary General, Raymond Majongwe has warned that remarks by war veterans on raising Presidential age limit should not be taken lightly as it was coming from Victor Matemadanda, who was instrumental in the removal of former President Robert Mugabe.
Matemadanda who is the war veterans Secretary General yesterday called for a constitutional amendment to raise the Presidential age limit from the current 40 to 52 arguing that the office requires mature people.
The opposition has since reacted angrily to Matemadanda’s proposal which they dismissed as sideshows at a time the economy was burning, but Majongwe was rather cautious saying the person pushing the agenda was not to be trusted due to the power he yields in the former combatants’ body.
