Zim Breaking News : Former Botswana President Seretse Khama Ian Khama has condemned Zimbabwe's constitutional amendment extending President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term, calling it a "power hungry" move achieved through "rigging and cash inducements."

In a statement, Khama decried what he described as a growing trend of African presidents manipulating constitutions to remain in power, citing examples in Cameroon, Uganda, and Rwanda.

Turning his focus to Zimbabwe, Khama said the country and its "long suffering people" have endured similar oppression since the Gukur*hundi era. He recalled telling Honourable Job Sikhala at the launch of his book "Footprints in the Chains" that the only thing that has changed since the days of Rhodesia and Ian Smith is the name of the country and its leaders not the system of repression.

His remarks come as Zimbabwe's parliament passed a bill extending presidential terms from five to seven years and scrapping direct presidential elections, potentially allowing the 83-year-old Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030 . Critics have alleged lawmakers were offered financial incentives to support the bill .

"Zimbabwe has now become the latest in a growing list of countries whose presidents want to cling to power," Khama wrote, echoing his previous statements that the only thing that has changed in Zimbabwe since Rhodesia is "the name of the country and that of its leaders" .

Zim Breaking News : Citizens Movement leader Nelson Chamisa's Presidential Spokesperson on Wednesday confirmed that welfare assistance including rental payments and support towards the schooling of his children was provided to incarcerated religious figure Madzibaba and his family during his persecution, while rejecting as "false and misleading" claims that there was no coordinated citizens' support.

In an official statement, the bureau said the jailed citizen and his family personally requested a meeting and photographs with Chamisa after his release "as a way of preserving memories and expressing appreciation" for the solidarity and encouragement received during their moments of persecution.

The office defended the assistance as "a humane responsibility deserving of a humane response," stating that the Citizens Movement does not publicise acts of help because "helping people is not a public relations exercise," and cautioned that "the absence of publicity must never be mistaken for the absence of coordinated support."

The statement further condemned what it described as "deliberate distortion of facts" and "vilification of those who extended a helping hand," insisting that gestures of goodwill must not be reduced to "PR exercises for likes and accolades," while warning against attempts to divert attention from "the real issues that gave rise to the suffering in the first place."

The bureau's 17 June 2026 communication comes amid false reports surrounding the solidarity extended to Madzibaba during his incarceration and subsequent visit to the Citizen President.

A protest is currently underway in Ghana, where demonstrators are calling for the immediate shutdown of MTN South Africa, a telecommunications company.

Protesters are chanting "South Africa must go". The Ghanaian police have taken measures to contain the situation, blocking protesters from accessing the MTN premises, a move consistent with expectations in a civilized society.
