Zimbabwe is currently holding public hearings across the country to gather opinions on the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No.3) Bill, known as CAB3, which proposes extending presidential and legislative terms from five to seven years and allowing parliament to elect the president. If passed, this amendment could extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term to 2030, despite him currently being in his second term. Critics fear this will consolidate power within the ruling ZANU-PF party and potentially pave the way for dynastic succession, while supporters argue it will enhance political stability and policy continuity. The hearings have been marred by accusations of manipulation and exclusion of dissenting voices, with opposition groups boycotting the process due to its perceived flaws.
