The public hearings into Zimbabwe's Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 have now concluded, marking the end of a key consultation phase in the country's constitutional reform process.

The hearings, which were conducted across all ten provinces, ran from 30 March to 2 April 2026 and allowed citizens to present their views on the proposed changes. They formed part of a broader 90-day public consultation period that began after the Bill was gazetted in February 2026.

 The conclusion of the hearings means that the Bill will now move to the next stages of the legislative process, including parliamentary review, debate, and voting, which are expected to take place after the consultation phase.

 Farai Muroiwa Marapira, ZANU-PF Director for INFORMATION and PUBLICITY spoke to Mpho Sithole.
