Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Crisis: A Threat to Democracy

April 23, 2025

Mnangagwa Signs PVO Amendment Bill into Law Amid Criticism

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration is embroiled in controversy over a proposed constitutional amendment that could potentially extend his term in office. Constitutional Amendment No. 3 aims to postpone national elections and prolong the current parliament’s term, sparking fears of democratic backsliding.

 

The proposal, championed by Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, would effectively grant Mnangagwa an additional two or three years in power without removing presidential term limits. Critics argue this move undermines Zimbabwe’s constitutional order and democratic norms.

 

Legal experts have denounced the proposal as a “coup against the constitution,” claiming it’s a systematic attempt to rewrite governance rules and concentrate power in the presidency. This move has sparked widespread criticism, with many Zimbabweans expressing concerns about the erosion of democratic institutions.

 

Government insiders claim the extension is necessary for continuity, economic development, national stability, and security. However, many Zimbabweans find these justifications unconvincing, arguing that the government is using these excuses to cling to power.

 

Critics warn that tampering with the constitution without due process erodes public trust and undermines democratic governance. The fate of Zimbabwe’s democracy may depend on citizens, civil society, and independent institutions’ ability to block this proposed amendment.

 

Zimbabweans are speaking out against the proposed amendment, citing concerns about the concentration of power and the erosion of democratic institutions. Human rights activist Tapiwa Nyatsanza argues that term limits exist to prevent exactly this type of abuse, safeguarding democratic transitions and preventing power monopolies.

 

As the debate intensifies, Zimbabwe finds itself at a constitutional crossroads. Will citizens, civil society, and independent institutions be able to mount enough pressure to block this proposed amendment, or will the government succeed in its bid to extend Mnangagwa’s term? The future of Zimbabwe’s democracy hangs in the balance.
