Opposing 2030 Constitutional Amendment Bill<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By A Correspondent \u2013 The ruling party ZANU-PF has issued a stark warning to party members who resist the controversial Constitutional Amendment No. 3 Bill, vowing expulsion for dissenters while mobilizing traditional leaders across the country to enforce compliance.<\/p>\n<p>A government insider at the Benjamin Burombo Building in Masvingo disclosed over the weekend that the party is using traditional authorities to identify and discipline members who refuse to back the proposed 2030 agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a directive from the top leadership on this matter,\u201d the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraditional leaders have been enlisted to monitor the ranks, weed out rebellious elements, and ensure total support for the amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Party insiders say the campaign reflects a broader strategy to consolidate power ahead of the proposed constitutional changes, which critics argue would allow the current leadership to extend its hold on government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not just about a bill,\u201d the insider explained. \u201cIt is a message that anyone who challenges the party line will face serious consequences, including expulsion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Observers warn that the use of traditional leaders to enforce political compliance risks undermining their neutrality and could heighten tensions within communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment traditional authorities are used as enforcers for party politics, it erodes their credibility,\u201d said a political analyst who requested anonymity. \u201cIt also sends a chilling message to members that dissent is not tolerated, even within the party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As ZANU-PF intensifies its campaign, party members and civil society groups are watching closely, concerned that the amendment push may escalate internal divisions and provoke broader public unrest.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- #comments
