Chaos As Zanu PF Hooligans Drag Amendment Bill Critic Out Of Kwekwe Venue<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Tinashe Sambiri \u2013 A public hearing on Constitutional Amendment Bill Number 3 descended into chaos at Kwekwe Theatre on Monday, ending abruptly after the only dissenting voice was forcibly removed from the venue.<\/p>\n
Melody Chingarande, who stood alone in opposing the Bill, was booed and heckled by a hostile crowd before being kicked out of the hall.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a circus\u2026?\u201d a witness said, describing the tense and disorderly atmosphere.<\/p>\n
The situation reportedly escalated as Chingarande faced threats from suspected hooligans, prompting sympathisers to escort her to Kwekwe Central Police Station for her safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was the only one who opposed the Bill, but instead of being heard, she was shouted down and forced out,\u201d said an attendee.<\/p>\n
Witnesses also noted that the environment appeared heavily one-sided.
\u201cThe hall was packed with Zanu PF supporters,\u201d another source said, raising concerns about the fairness of the consultation process.<\/p>\n
The incident has sparked criticism over the handling of public hearings, with observers questioning whether such platforms genuinely allow for diverse views or merely serve to endorse predetermined outcomes.<\/p>\n
