From Constitutional Reforms to Mining Ban: President Mnangagwa Outlines Zimbabwe's Vision
Speaking to local media, President Emmerson Mnangagwa defended the newly published Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Act No. 3, describing the governance overhaul as a "collective evolution" rather than an individual directive.
Key highlights from the interview:
Governance Overhaul: The reforms extend electoral cycles, expand the senate, shift voter registration to the Registrar-General Office, and introduce a parliamentary system for electing future presidents to ensure political stability for national development.
Economic Strategy: Mnangagwa reiterated the need to ban unprocessed mineral exports to maximize local resource benefits. He also expressed confidence in achieving the 2030 target of irrigating 496,000 hectares to combat climate change.
Returnees from South Africa: Speaking about Zimbabweans returning home amid anti-immigrant protests in South Africa, the president confirmed government support for their welfare and school integration. He dismissed the xenophobic sentiment as the work of "small groups," reaffirming the nation's Pan-African values.
