By A Correspondent- The Zimbabwe Human Rights Association, the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum, Zimbabwe Peace Project have lined up series of protests against the recent amendment of the country’s constitution by Zanu PF. 

“May 4, 2021, was a tragic day for Zimbabwe as the Upper House passed Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 2, a deadly blow to constitutionalism in Zimbabwe,” ZimRights director Dzikamai Bere said.

“It is all dusted and done. All the work done between 2008 and 2013 by millions of Zimbabweans is being destroyed by a few selfish politicians. The pain is unbearable but our spirits are indomitable.”

In a statement, the human rights and democracy lobby groups said the rally would be a platform for citizens to respond to the actions of their representatives.

“We are inviting you all to the first of many #ResistDictatorship actions. We are going to speak out against the ongoing nonsense,” part of the statement released this week read.

“We must commit to saying enough is enough and citizens will be at the forefront of this action, the action that will not end until constitutionalism is restored in this country.”

Constitutional Amendment No 2 Bill was passed despite the displeasure expressed by citizens during public hearings.
