The video discusses a recent directive from Zimbabwe's ruling party, Zanu PF, which aims to extend President Emerson Mnangagwa's tenure by two years, pushing his term end from 2028 to 2030. This decision was made at the 22nd Zanu PF annual conference in Mutare, and legal experts believe that implementing this extension would require several referendums, posing significant challenges for Mnangagwa. Although the 83-year-old president is constitutionally obligated to step down after serving two elected terms by 2028, he has not directly rejected his party's push for an extension. The video also emphasizes the historical sacrifices made for Zimbabwe's freedom and frames the Vision 2030 initiative as a commitment to future generations rather than personal ambitions.
Zimbabwe’s ruling party, Zanu PF, has issued a directive that the party and government must put in place the necessary legal, constitutional, and administrative measures to ensure its resolution to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s tenure by two years to 2030 is fully implemented. Constitutionally, the 83-year-old leader is required to leave office in 2028 after serving two elected terms, but his loyalists are pushing for the controversial and currently unconstitutional term extension. Although Mnangagwa has previously vowed to abide by the laws of the land, stepping down when his term ends in 2028, he has not openly rejected his party’s latest call to extend his mandate.
