Controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo, who is also a supporter of the ruling party Zanu Pf has said that President Mnangagwa has demonstrated remarkable leadership and his presidency must be extended with an extra term.
Posting on social media, Chivayo said that they were similar developments taking place in the United States. He wrote,
Even in the USA, which prides itself as the “BEACON OF DEMOCRACY,” there is accepted recognition that EXCEPTIONAL leadership deserves CONTINUITY beyond rigid term limits if it is in the BEST INTEREST of the people.
Chivayo who is believed to be a beneficiary of a lot of tenders from the Government said he was routing for the Resolution Number 1, a resolution which was made by the Zanu Pf Party proposing the constitutional amendment of the current constitution to allow ED to run for presidency again in 2028.
Below is the full post of what Chivayo wrote:
JUST SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS…I have been following the developments in the USA with KEEN INTEREST, particularly the recently proposed constitutional amendment to allow President Trump to serve a THIRD TERM. Even in the USA, which prides itself as the “BEACON OF DEMOCRACY,” there is accepted recognition that EXCEPTIONAL leadership deserves CONTINUITY beyond rigid term limits if it is in the BEST INTEREST of the people.
This development in the USA got me deeply reflecting on our beloved Country, where H. E. PRESIDENT MNANGAGWA has demonstrated REMARKABLE leadership. In my opinion, when a leader is delivering exceptional RESULTS, their presidency should not be cut short , ESPECIALLY if the people overwhelmingly support his continued leadership. Even the opposition in Zimbabwe, despite being FRAGMENTED, recently agreed to this concept. I personally believe that PROGRESS must take precedence over PROCEDURAL CONSTRAINTS created by a Constitution. Most will say I’m singing for my supper and yes indeed , without a shadow of doubt , I will also sing for breakfast and lunch too.
In my view, a performing President like PRESIDENT E.D must be allowed to COMPLETE his vision for the nation. The WILL OF THE PEOPLE should always be at the core of democracy. As we have seen in the U.S.A, policy inconsistencies caused by frequent leadership changes DISRUPT national progress. For example, most of former President Biden’s policies implemented since 2020 and the recent banning of TikTok and were all SWIFTLY undone by President Trump on his first day in office, despite there being a Supreme Court order banning TikTok in USA. By contrast, Zimbabwe is a CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY and even the President abides with Court judgments. We cannot however afford policy INCONSISTENCIES, such as what is being experienced in the USA, especially considering PRESIDENT MNANGAGWA’s strong foundation for ECONOMIC GROWTH and stability. Extending his leadership will certainly ensure CONSISTENCY and CONTINUITY, which are critical for achieving Zimbabwe’s long-term goals and VISION 2030 !!!!
The CONSTITUTION is a LIVING DOCUMENT, made BY THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE. I believe that it must evolve to reflect the aspirations of the majority. As a CONSTITUTIONALIST, President Mnangagwa is on record indicating that he will NOT run for a third term. However, the PRESIDENT has earned the trust of the people, who recognize his EXCEPTIONAL leadership and the progress achieved under the SECOND REPUBLIC. With the GRACE OF GOD an extension of time in office for this WONDERFUL LEADER will certainly benefit the nation and ensure the success of Vision 2030 and beyond.
NYIKA INOTONGWA, INOVAKWA, IGO NAMATIGWA NEVENE VAYO! Zimbabwe’s destiny lies in OUR HANDS.
