We deviated from people’s views: Mangwana

Herald Reporters
COPAC co-chairperson Cde Mun­yaradzi Paul Mangwana yesterday con­fessed to deviating from the people’s views when they collated and produced a final draft Constitution.
He said it was wrong for Copac to negotiate when people had clearly made a pronouncement on issues they wanted included in the new Constitu­tion.

The Zanu-PF co-chair said this dur­ing a public debate organised by Crisis Coalition.
The discussion centred on the stale­mate in Constitution-making.
“My conscience was telling me that we should not negotiate on the people’s views, but the MDCs would argue that this is a modern world, let’s use the best practice,” said Cde Mangwana.

“If the people of Zimbabwe chose that they wanted mono-citizenship, we should respect that but I participated in the illegal thing of negotiating the Con­stitution thereby compromising what the people said.”

He said the Zanu-PF Politburo grilled the negotiators on the issue.
“Zanu-PF said you cannot compro­mise where the people had spoken ade­quately,” he said.
During the collation of data, he said, Zanu-PF legislators had been consistent that they should use the quantitative analysis as opposed to qualitative.
“From the beginning, the methodol­ogy had always been problematic, whether to use quantitative or qualita­tive analysis, we agreed to use both and the moment you use both you would be compromising the other,” he said.
