Zimdailyjournal Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0ATTORNEY General Virginia Mabiza says the proposed constitutional amendments are designed to consolidate national stability, modernise governance, and strengthen institutional continuity\u2014rather than advance the interests of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her remarks come amid debate over government proposals to refine key constitutional provisions, including adjustments to the framework governing presidential elections.<\/p>\n

While some analysts have predicted legal challenges, officials maintain that the reforms are anchored in constitutional principles and intended to reinforce long-term policy consistency.<\/p>\n

Legal observers note that the proposals place emphasis on institutional resilience, clarity in governance structures and smoother policy implementation.<\/p>\n

According to government legal authorities, refining constitutional processes is expected to enhance administrative efficiency and promote stability in national leadership transitions\u2014factors widely regarded as essential for sustained economic and social development.<\/p>\n

Addressing claims that the reforms were designed to benefit Mnangagwa personally, Mabiza dismissed the suggestion, stressing that the measures are not tailored to any individual office bearer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn no way whatsoever, in fact more aligned with His Excellency\u2019s principled constitutionalism\u2014against amendments for personal gain\u2014we preserved two key provisions intact:<\/p>\n

\u201cSection 91(2): \u2018A person is disqualified for election as President or appointment as Vice-President if he or she has already held office as President under this Constitution for two terms, whether continuous or not, and for the purpose of this subsection three or more years\u2019 service is deemed to be a full term.\u2019 Amending this would have appeared partisan or personal to His Excellency.<\/p>\n

\u201cSection 328(7): \u2018An amendment to a term-limit provision, the effect of which is to extend the length of time that a person may hold or occupy any public office, does not apply in relation to any person who held or occupied that office, or an equivalent office, at any time before the amendment.\u2019 This remains untouched.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe totally respect the constitution and drafted it in a manner that allows continuity without interference with the entrenched provisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amendments are not personal but rather for posterity and to positively reform the governance and electoral system of our country,\u201d Mabiza said.<\/p>\n

She further explained that the reforms should be understood within a broader institutional development agenda aimed at reinforcing democratic structures while ensuring that governance mechanisms remain adaptable to national needs.<\/p>\n

By maintaining entrenched safeguards while refining operational provisions, the amendments seek to balance constitutional continuity with progressive reform.<\/p>\n

Government legal authorities say the Bill is expected to improve coherence within the constitutional framework by addressing ambiguities and ensuring alignment across provisions. The reforms are also viewed as a step toward enhancing predictability in governance processes\u2014an outcome officials say strengthens investor confidence, administrative effectiveness and national cohesion.<\/p>\n

She underscored that the reforms are intended to serve the broader public interest, positioning them as part of a forward-looking effort to strengthen institutions and support Zimbabwe\u2019s long-term development trajectory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese amendments are institutionally robust, historically pivotal, and in the national interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bill modernizes and streamlines various aspects of the Constitutional architecture while upholding the 2013 constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amendments are part of a broader constitutional reforms aimed at refining governance frameworks and increasing focus on institutional efficiency, political inclusivity, and long-term national stability,\u201d Mabiza said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese amendments are constitutionally sound, in the national interest, and part of broader reforms to modernize governance through legislation and ensure stability. When all this stems from our supreme Law, it becomes easier to implement the reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Attorney General, I draft legislation for the Government in terms of section 114 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst it is within my mandate to recommend certain changes to the law, I however draft legislation in accordance with instructions from the Government and in this instance, it is the Minister of Justice who has the responsibility to administer the constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the amendments are meant to ensure that all provisions in the Constitution are consistent, unambiguous and align with the objectives and principles set out in this Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials say the reform process reflects a continued commitment to structured constitutional evolution\u2014one that prioritizes institutional strength, legal certainty and national stability as foundational pillars for Zimbabwe\u2019s future governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
