A government minister just stated that changing the constitution to keep President Mnangagwa in office until 2030 would be perfectly legal. Information Minister Jenfan Muswere made these comments during a fund disbursement event in Rusape. He argued that the Constitution itself can be amended since people created it.

The occasion involved handing out a presidential constituency fund totaling one hundred twenty-five thousand US dollars across five areas in Makoni. Each constituency got twenty-five grand for local projects. A presidential advisor, Paul Tungwarara, distributed the money. Muswere listed various dams and irrigation schemes as examples of the president's good work, suggesting these projects motivate people to want him to stay. He also mentioned fixing water and sewer issues in Makoni Central.

At the same event, Tungwarara gave two-hundred-dollar Christmas gifts to four councillors who switched from the opposition CCC and a former MP. He praised state media for defending the government. Another official present, Misheck Mugadza, talked about provincial benefits like road tarring and irrigation. The whole setup was framed as empowering villagers, with the fund allegedly meant to unite people rather than cause division.
