Politburo discusses draft constitution

Some political analysts criticised the draft constitution, saying it did not capture the views of the people, despite Copac holding whirlwind tours of the country to seek the people’s views. 
Others called for the disbandment of Copac and the institution of a new body to spearhead the constitutional making process.
Allegations were that the MDC-T was seeking to use the constitutional making process to effect illegal regime change.
The Politburo meeting was also expected to discuss a report on the disbandment of the District Co-ordination Committees that was complied by the Commissariat department.
The report was expected to include views of the party members as captured in recent visits to the provinces by a team led by Secretary for Administration Cde Didymus Mutasa to explain the dissolution of the DCCs.
The provinces welcomed the move, saying the DCCs were causing divisions and confusion within the party.
Zanu-PF accused the DCC members of fanning factionalism within the party that was likely to contribute to electoral loses.
The party said it will create a structure with only four people to link the provinces with the grassroots.
