In Zimbabwe, political succession crises often lead to constitutional manipulation, as demonstrated by the ongoing debate over Constitutional Amendment Number Three (Cap 3), which critics argue is designed to extend President Mnangagwa's rule beyond 2028. The controversy involves Vice President Chiwenga's alleged role in these maneuvers, with opposition movements calling for his resignation to prevent further constitutional changes. This case illustrates how political actors may use constitutional processes to maintain power, and how citizens can counter such narratives through organized social media activism and sustained political engagement.

There is a new movement in Zimbabwe.
It's called a for Vice President Constantino Chiwenga to quit and resign.
This movement I suppose going to win the for uh Vice President Constantino Chiwenga to resign.
Now They strongly worded open letter by Zambezia Economic Movement Chairman Divine Mafa calling on Vice President Constantino Chiwenga to resign has ignited fears political debate over Zimbabwe's succession politics and constitutional future.
In the letter released on Monday Mafa accused Chiwenga of being the central force being behind ongoing constitutional maneuvers allegedly aimed at extending President Emmerson Mnangagwa's rule beyond 2028. The time for subtlety is over. Mafa wrote.
Your continued tenure is treason and it's turning Zimbabwe into barracks.
Mafa added that Chiwenga's continued presence in government has fueled fears of a military backed succession struggle within ZANU-PF creating justification for what critics have termed the Cup 3 constitutional amendment efforts.
According to the letter Chiwenga allegedly declined to assume the presidency during the 2017 military intervention due Due pressure from regional leaders opting instead to become vice president with expectations of eventually succeeding Mnangagwa. Mafa claimed the political landscape has since shifted.
You entered government expecting succession. Mnangagwa entered government planning performance, the letter reads.
Mafa Feda alleged that the president has consolidated power through loyalists in state and party structures, leaving Chiwenga politically isolated without a viable strategy.
The people of Zimbabwe deserve a clear message, you will not seek the presidency. Resign and remove the rationale for cap three, he wrote. The letter quickly generated heated reactions on social media with supporters and critics sharply divided.
Some Some opposition-aligned commentators described it as a bold challenge to military influence in politics, while others dismissed it as a political grandstanding aimed at exploiting divisions within the ruling elite. The ZANU-PF posting on X said, "It's time for Chiwenga to go and let democracy prevail."
Political analysts say the letter reflects growing tensions around Zimbabwe's unresolved succession question and concerns over constitutional amendments that could reshape the country's political future ahead of the 2028 elections.
The office of the vice president had not responded to the allegations by the time of publication. Meanwhile, the Mthwakazi Liberation Front has joined other opposition voices condemning the ZANU-PF initiated constitutional amendment number three bill, describing it as a poison that will worsen the country's already fragile state.
MLF spokesperson, Crispin Iyani, criticized the proposed amendment saying it seeks to extend President Mnangagwa's stay in power without a fresh mandate from the people. It accused Zanu-PF officials being the bill of manipulating constitutional processes for political survival and personal gain. Ndiweni constitutional The constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment number three bill was one drop of poison proposed by Zanu-PF's criminals around Mnangagwa to keep him in power for the extended period. He argued that good leaders leave office when their time ends. While bad leaders attempt to remain in power by altering constitutional provisions. Ndiweni further alleged that the power the push for cap three is being driven by individuals seeking to protect political and economic interests tied to the current administration.
The major benefit is the continuation of the looting of country's resources for their selfish ends, he said.
>> You know, being part of a change.
And if you go to the step of change model, the most difficult thing often is to make the decision could you want to go and seek out ways in which you can participate in making a change.
Whether you look at someone who wants to make a change in their life by running, by stopping smoking, by studying more, it all comes from just making Look, I want to do this now. And then they go and then becomes habit. Once it becomes habit, boom.
You're moving. So, I want to thank everyone um for being part of it. In any I know could you if I'm targeted, you know, um it won't stop anything.
I know very very well.
Individuals have been told that you need to give this individual my password and everything.
Everything is in place. Everything is in place.
There is no one who should think that things are not in place. Everything is in place.
Everything is in the embassy. Everything is in place.
A vigil has been going just to give you some context. Vigil has been going since around 2002.
2002 at the Zimbabwe Embassy in London.
That's more than 20 years.
Zimbabweans have been going to the Zimbabwe Embassy to protest against what Zanu-PF is doing.
More than 20 years.
That should tell you something.
You know.
And that should tell you that Zimbabweans have got power to be able to move the needle.
But how many times do you see Herald?
I'm now going to what was being talked about just now now. By the two young ladies. How many times do you see Herald printing about what is happening at the Zimbabwe Embassy?
How many times do you see Herald or have you heard of Herald printing about Zimbabweans going to protest and handing over petitions at number 10 Downing Street?
How many?
But these things are happening.
So I would like to reiterate what Charles of Zimbabwe was saying and thank you very much to Charles of Zimbabwe and Andrew for what you are doing. Really appreciate two of you for all the hard work that you are doing.
We need to continue to support you. We need to keep on pushing the envelope. We need to keep on pushing our good narratives.
And we need to stop listening to and following the narratives that are being set by by by by ZANU-PF. I mean, if you think about it, during the war, the Chimurenga, ZANU-PF even set set up a a a a a a a journalist office in Mozambique.
And they were trying as hard as possible after setting up a journalist office in Mozambique to disseminate information about the war that was true because they knew the narrative that is going to come from Ian Smith's government is not going to be favorable for them.
They knew.
Sorry, Susu.
Though we don't have live ammunition, our weapons is our voices.
Our weapons is our mobile phones. Our weapons essentially is our our our our freedom of conscience, our freedom of expression.
That is the biggest threat to ZANU-PF right now.
They don't like it.
We need to be able to get to the stage where we can use our weapons on a daily basis to be as effectively damaging to ZANU-PF as possible. One of the things that I would like to encourage everyone to do, which it will not cost us anything, really, is if you don't want to retweet because you are afraid the retweet will be will be visible, just go and like the the space on Uncle Jed's profile.
Just go to Uncle Jed's profile, look for the space, and then just give it a like.
The The that we're in right now. Those who are able to retweet it, retweet it.
Those who can comment, comment.
But that what that will do is it will definitely help Uncle Jed to be able to get a much bigger reach.
We need to be able to have multiple accounts that are bigger than that of uh Emmerson Mnangagwa.
They're are bigger than that of the the the all the ministries combined of this another government.
Because at the end of the day, the people that put them, you know, where they are is us, the citizens.
And if we continue letting them dictate the narrative on on these streets, we're never going to win even if we go to an election.
We're never going to win even if we go to an election, you know? Even when it comes to trying to remove them, we won't win.
Because all they will do is they'll just tweet narratives, tweet narratives, and then they'll trend because they've got much bigger accounts.
So, let's start preparing for Amangwana.
Just go to Uncle Jed's um thing um uh post for this space where he started it.
And then just give it a like. If you can comment, comment. If you can retweet, retweet. And then I've done it.
I've done the like, I've done the retweet. Now I need to go and comment.
Even if you just comment an emoji of of of of someone listening in, or even of a Zimbabwean flag upside down, or even uh um Zim says no, you can just take a picture of of of of the Zim says no thing from from our uh Titus, and then you can just post it as as as as a comment. And that's it.
You know, you can even just type in the hashtag Zim says no. Just that. It won't cost you anything.
But what it will do is it is setting us up for tomorrow when we need big accounts that can set narratives.
Thank you very much um for your time. Really appreciate you.
Um I hope I've kept within the time limit and I and and and and the topic. Thank you very much. Appreciate you so much.
>> All right. Thank you Thank you uh my brother for that.
Uh now can I move on to Keystone?
