Zimbabwean legal experts warn ruling party officials may manipulate court procedures to bypass presidential term limits, potentially allowing Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030. Sources allege ZANU-PF members and justice ministry personnel plan to file a deliberately flawed constitutional challenge seeking term extension, expecting its rejection would create legal justification for avoiding a mandatory public vote.
