ZANU PF Faces Internal Friction Over Gender Commission Abolition

ZANU PF's proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill number 3 seeks to abolish the Zimbabwe Gender Commission (ZGC), challenging existing gender justice frameworks. The plan faces opposition from Minister Tatenda Mavetera, reportedly a lone voice in cabinet, and the Women’s League. Opponents argue the abolishment is 'retrogressive' and would 'harm gender justice,' potentially eroding progress. This opposition highlights internal friction within ZANU PF over Constitutional Amendment Bill number 3. Critics contend this internal friction undermines policy coherence and challenges the party's control over legislative initiatives regarding gender policy.
