A press conference led by Movement for Democratic Change leader Douglas Mwonzora in Bulawayo was reportedly disrupted when a group of about 20 individuals, described as Zanu PF youths, entered the venue shortly after journalists had departed. According to MDC spokesperson Lloyd Damba, the group arrived in white T-shirts featuring Boys Dzamudhara slogans and forced attendees to evacuate as security personnel moved swiftly to ensure their safety. Attempts to obtain a statement from law enforcement were unsuccessful, as police spokespersons were unavailable for comment.

During the event, Mwonzora spoke against proposals to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s presidency beyond the constitutional limit, which is set to end in 2028. He argued that the decision to alter term limits should rest with the people of Zimbabwe, referencing constitutional principles that prioritize popular sovereignty. Mwonzora also expressed concern that the ruling party might try to use legislative means to extend the president’s tenure without a national referendum, despite constitutional safeguards intended to prevent such actions.
