HOME Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe has described President Mnangagwa as a committed constitutionalist, saying the recent reforms demonstrate his administration’s adherence to the rule of law and respect for the country’s supreme law.
Minister Kazembe said this while addressing mourners at the burial of national hero, Major-General (Retired) Richard Ruwodo, at the National Heroes Acre in Harare yesterday.
“Your Excellency, everything that happens in life does so because God would have allowed it,” he said.
“You have always admonished us that whatever we plan, we should end by saying ‘if God permits’ because everything happens according to God’s plan.
“You and your colleague war veterans encountered many challenges in the struggle, but survived. We believe God allowed you to survive all the dangers so that you could sign the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Act No. 3 as you did last week. We want to thank you, Your Excellency; you are a true constitutionalist.”
Minister Kazembe said the President allowed the constitutional processes to unfold without interference.
“You are indeed a true Constitutionalist. You allowed the Constitution to be amended constitutionally,” he said.
Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Act No.3 was signed by President Mnangagwa last Tuesday, marking a significant milestone in the country’s constitutional and democratic development.
Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Zhemu Soda has described the enactment of the law as a reflection of the collective will of the people and the strength of national institutions.
Government has since announced plans to roll out a nationwide awareness campaign to educate citizens on the provisions of the new law and ensure that the public understands the changes introduced under the Act.
