  • 2 - Why Change Doesn’t Start With the Bill w Zethi

    This conversation moves beyond the bill.

    In Episode 2 of Letters to Zimbabwe, I sit down with Zethi to examine what is actually happening beneath the current constitutional amendment debate.

    We unpack:

    Why Amendment No. 3 is not the starting pointThe relationship between party structures and state powerWhat it means when authority is misunderstoodWhy power ultimately resides with the peopleWhy resistance is a process, not an event And why focusing only on timelines may distract from the real work

    Alongside this, there are ongoing civic efforts on the ground — including movements like Constitution Defenders Forum working to mobilise citizens around constitutional awareness, participation, and accountability. ⁠ follow them on X— @cdfzim

    This episode does not tell you what to think.

    It gives you the tools to understand what is happening.

    🎧 Listen. Reflect. Engage.

  • 1 - Can Parliament Extend Its Own Term? MP Daniel Molokele Breaks Down the Constitutional Crisis

    Zimbabwe’s 2013 Constitution was not imposed. It was debated, consulted on, and ultimately endorsed by the people in a national referendum. It was described as a homegrown Constitution because it emerged from public participation.

    Just over a decade later, Parliament is now debating amendments that could extend its own term of office from 2028 to 2030.

    In Episode 1 of Letters to Zimbabwe, I sit down with Hon. Daniel Molokele to interrogate what this actually means in practice.

    We unpack:

    Where these proposed amendments began

    How they moved from a party resolution into a formal constitutional process

    Whether Parliament can legitimately vote on extending its own mandate

    Why a referendum matters in constitutional law

    What the SADC Observer Mission Report said about the 2023 elections

    And what responsibility now rests with citizens

    Before you debate outcomes, you must understand process. And before you react, you must understand power.

    If the Constitution was adopted by the people, then the real question is simple:

    Who authorises its change?

    🎧 Listen. Think critically. Share deliberately.
