The events that took place at the MDC provincial offices in Bulawayo on Sunday, August 6 2017 are most regrettable and extremely unfortunate. The MDC would like to condemn in the strongest terms, all forms of violence against anyone. We are a democratic and peace – loving political party that is ready, willing and able to extricate Zimbabwe from decades of Zanu PF misrule,corruption and misgovernance.

The violent incident that took place at our party offices in Bulawayo will be thoroughly investigated and indeed the office of the Arbiter – General of the party is already seized with this matter. We shall leave no stone unturned in ascertaining the exact cause of the unfortunate incident of senseless violence that led to the injury of several party members as well as destruction of party property.
The perpetrators of this heinous act of wanton violence and thuggery will be identified and punished in accordance with the tenets of the party disciplinary code of conduct. We also suspect that the culprits are not genuine members of the MDC but hired thugs and hooligans.
We would like to assure all stakeholders that a thorough investigation shall be conducted and no stone will be left unturned in trying to get to the bottom of this matter. The MDC is acutely aware of the fact that CIO agents and some other such detractors are having sleepless nights regarding the successful launch of the MDC Alliance at the Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield Harare on Saturday, August 5 2017.
As such,the beleaguered and faction – infested Zanu PF regime will do everything possible to try to collapse the grand political coalition against the insipidly corrupt and sickeningly voracious dictatorship that is fronted by Robert Mugabe.
This is the time for the toiling masses of Zimbabwe to remain focused and united.The darkest hour is just before dawn.A New Zimbabwe beckons.
MUTARE - Zanu-PF has delivered a major setback to presidential adviser Paul Tungwarara after the party’s national leadership nullified his attempted elevation to the Central Committee, ruling that the Manicaland provincial executive violated internal procedures and prematurely celebrated the move.
The Standard article of 7 December 2025, in which ZANU PF political commissar Munyaradzi Machacha confirms that draft constitutional amendments to extend President Mnangagwa’s term of office will soon be gazetted, removes any remaining doubt.
BULAWAYO - A constitutional court application allegedly being prepared in Bulawayo is said to be part of a covert plan to secure a judicial ruling that would appear to legitimise the extension of President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term to 2030, by deliberately seeking a dismissal that could later be cited as legal precedent.
There comes a time in the life of every political movement when it must pause before the mirror of history and ask itself whether it still resembles the cause it once embodied. For ZANU-PF, that moment has arrived — and the mirror does not flatter.
HARARE - The proposed Breaking Barriers Initiative (BBI), a constitutional reform plan reportedly linked to efforts to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term beyond 2028, has sparked strong criticism from legal experts, analysts, and sections of civil society, who describe it as an unconstitutional attempt to undermine Zimbabwe’s 2013 Constitution.
