Opposition to boycott CAB3 hearings after violence, intimidation.

Opposition leaders on Wednesday announced they will boycott ongoing public hearings on the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3), citing violence, intimidation and what they described as a “stage-managed” process that excludes dissenting voices. 

Senior opposition figures Tendai Biti, Jameson Timba and Lovemore Madhuku said they had instructed their supporters not to participate in the hearings, which have been marred by disorder and allegations of ruling party interference.
