HARARE – Manicaland Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Misheck Mugadza says ZANU-PF would comfortably win a referendum on the proposed Constitutional Amendment (No. 3) Bill, insisting the party has nothing to fear from a public vote. Speaking to party affiliates this week, Mugadza dismissed calls for a referendum, echoing the ruling party’s position that the proposed changes do not legally require one.
