Opposition leader Jameson Timba from the CCC is pointing to fresh Afrobarometer numbers showing that most Zimbabweans do not trust the election commission and basically hate the idea of extending Mnangagwa past 2028 without an actual vote. The survey shows less than 8 percent of people have full confidence in Zec, while nearly half think voter registration should get yanked back to the Registrar-General's office instead.
Timba is saying any constitutional tweak affecting term limits needs a referendum under section 328, but running that through an institution nobody trusts makes zero sense. He is arguing that the data proves citizens want actual reform and stronger democratic systems rather than watching institutions get weaker while politicians try pushing the 2030 extension through.
