S 1 - 2 A1 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions called for the defense of democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law in Zimbabwe. This follows Zanu-PF’s plan to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term until 2030. The ruling party seeks constitutional amendments to implement the “2030 agenda.” Opposition figures, including lawyer Tendai Biti, pledged resistance. Analysts warn that party elites could bypass safeguards. Union groups stressed that threats to democracy in Zimbabwe affect the entire SADC region.
