Harare West MP Joanna Mamombe tells Zimbabwe’s Parliament that the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill Number 3 (CAB3) is unconstitutional and should be rejected in full. In parliamentary debate, Mamombe argues the bill weakens democratic governance and erodes national sovereignty. She also warns the proposed changes would promote patronage and bribery and would allow an unpopular candidate to become President. According to the reports, Mamombe says she is acting on the “overwhelming opposition” expressed by residents of Harare West. She characterizes the bill as “constitutional fraud.”
Other coverage of the same remarks repeats that Mamombe delivers a formal warning against CAB3, framing her objections around its constitutional validity and potential political consequences. Both outlets focus on her position in the debate and her arguments for rejecting the bill, rather than on the bill’s specific provisions or any official government response.
