Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe says Zanu PF would have challenged President Emmerson Mnangagwa in court if he had refused to assent to Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3). Kazembe argues that, under the Constitution, the President is required to sign legislation once Parliament has completed the required constitutional processes. His comments frame CAB3 as a measure that has reached the stage where presidential assent becomes a constitutional obligation rather than a discretionary act. The minister’s position suggests Zanu PF sees the bill’s passage through Parliament as triggering the next step in the legislative procedure. Neither source provides details of any specific legal grounds, timing of a potential court action, or whether the party intends to pursue litigation now that Mnangagwa has signed the bill. The reporting instead focuses on Kazembe’s assertion about what Zanu PF would have done in the scenario where the President withheld assent despite Parliament’s approval.
