Retired Generals Accuse Mnangagwa of Rigging

Retired military generals, war veterans, and former senior civil servants have accused a faction aligned to President Emmerson Mnangagwa of rigging the US$31 million Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3) process. The group claims the amendment is designed to entrench the president's power and extend his term. The retired officials argue the process lacked transparency and violated constitutional procedures. The accusations add to growing opposition to the bill, which proposes extending the presidential term to seven years. The statement signals deep divisions within the security establishment.
