Ziyambi warns against opposing Constitution Amendment No. 3 as government rolls out new constitutional provisions
Zimbabwean Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has warned supporters to oppose any challenges to the recently passed Constitution Amendment No. 3. He urged citizens to report those planning protests or legal challenges, framing the amendment as a democratic mandate.
Why it matters
The warning highlights ongoing political tensions in Zimbabwe regarding constitutional changes and the government's efforts to consolidate control over the legislative process.
JUSTICE Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has warned Zanu PF supporters to distance themselves from individuals or organisations opposed to the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No.3) Act, 2026, saying they should not be allowed to destabilise the country.
Ziyambi, the architect of the bill, was speaking at the weekend’s “CAB3 Thank You Rally” held at Chakari Grounds in Mashonaland West Province.
Similar rallies were simultaneously held countrywide to acknowledge supporters who contributed to the successful passage of the amendment.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa signed the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No.3) Act into law on July 7, 2026.
Addressing hundreds of party supporters, Ziyambi, who doubles as Leader of Government in Parliament, said the Zanu PF-led administration was now moving to the operationalisation and execution of the new provisions. He urged party members not to join anyone planning to challenge the Act in court or to participate in protests against it.
