Cap three come from come from the people. It is not President Emmerson Mnangagwa who initiated the term extension, said Chinamasa. His comments are likely to fuel further political uh further public discussion as critics of the proposed constitutional changes continue to question the intention behind the amendments.

[00:02:51]Some believe the proposal could strengthen political control at a time when many Zimbabweans are focused on economic and social challenges.
