Party members say no one can impeach President Mnangagwa without Zanu PF support. Zimbabwe uses a party-based system where lawmakers follow party decisions, not personal wishes.
Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi told a meeting the failed March 31 protests led opponents to try impeachment next. He explained that MPs must represent their party views through a whipping system. The chief whip makes sure everyone follows the official party position during debates.
Ziyambi stressed that motions need chief whip approval before Parliament considers them. The constitution lets parties recall members who go against party interests. He assured supporters that Parliament remains firmly under party control.
Former Senate President Edna Madzongwe backed this view. She said her two decades of experience proved Zanu PF members cannot act against party positions. Ziyambi added that voting happens openly, with chief whips recording member names.
He dismissed social media claims about impeachment as ignorance about how Parliament works. He called the impeachment talk a desperate move from people running out of ideas. Party members were told not to worry about these attempts.
