CSOs plot showdown over Bill

CIVIL society organisations (CSOs) will today hold a virtual rally to mobilise citizens to reject the Zanu PF-engineered constitutional amendments that sailed through Senate on Tuesday, which observers described as an affront to democracy.

The rally comes at a time when former Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara is urging Zimbabweans to protest against the signing of the law and “actively devise strategies to stop future constitutional changes”.

Mutambara said by amending the Constitution, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government had opened itself for more punitive economic sanctions from Western countries.
