14:23Now PlayingZimbabwe’s ruling ZANU PF party is pushing constitutional changes that critics say could weaken democracy. The proposals would allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in office beyond 2028 and shift the choice of the next president from voters to parliament.
One prominent opponent, former finance minister Tendai Biti, dismissed the ZANU PF’s reasoning as "a lot of rubbish." DW also spoke to a man who says he was among thousands targeted with violence for opposing the changes. ZANU PF says it does not condone violence.
What could this mean for Zimbabwe’s democratic future — and who really holds the power?
