A former state security boss declaring a protest dead on arrival hits different when the security forces already sit on standby. Owen Ncube, who runs Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Midlands, wants citizens brushing off the demonstrations aimed at Constitutional Amendment Act No. 3.
His labels for the whole effort came out blunt. Divisive, sponsored, illegal, unwarranted. Midlands residents historically shrug off shutdown calls, according to him, and he figures this attempt fizzles identically, with shops and offices running a regular schedule.
Ncube traced the amendment back to Resolution Number 1, tied to Vision 2030 and adopted under Emmerson Mnangagwa at the Bulawayo and Mutare National People's Conferences. Parliament handled its side properly, feedback from consultations and written input landed favorably, and both Houses signed off unanimously across party lines on CAB3.
His pitch for the thing covers stability in politics, investor money coming in, policies staying consistent, and leadership that doesn't churn. Mnangagwa assented, which parks it firmly inside the supreme law. Closing advice from him was to scroll straight past whichever social media accounts keep pushing unrest.
