[*]Mushoriwa backed the bill in the National Assembly initially. [/LIST] What Clause 11 actually targeted [LIST] [*]It aimed to sync a 1977 law with the 2013 Constitution.

[/LIST] Senate pushback and what happens next [LIST] [*]Traditional leaders in the Senate pushed for the deletion. [*]The bill got bounced back to the National Assembly. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
