Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF party continues its strong focus on achieving its Vision 2030 agenda, which aims to transform the nation into an upper-middle-income economy. However, this ambitious plan is overshadowed by significant national debate and opposition surrounding proposals from within ZANU-PF structures to amend the Constitution to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term beyond the constitutional limit of 2028.
Critics, including opposition parties and civil society organizations, contend that such amendments would undermine constitutionalism and democratic principles, viewing the move as a blatant attempt to entrench executive power.
In other news, the nation has been gripped by a viral video depicting the brutal assault of a woman in Uzumba-Maramba-Pfungwe, Mashonaland East province, over infidelity allegations. Police confirmed the incident occurred on February 20, 2026, and have since arrested one individual in connection with the case, with an accomplice still at large.
