Source: newzimbabwe
Former ZANU-PF Legal Affairs Secretary Paul Mangwana has argued that Zimbabwe's proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 is consistent with the Constitution and does not require a referendum, needing only a parliamentary majority to pass. The Bill proposes several changes including extending the presidential term from five to seven years. The position is contested by opposition figures and legal experts who argue the changes are substantive enough to warrant a public vote.
