The Constitution Defenders Forum continues to emerge as a rigorous platform of defending the Constitution without fear, favor or prejudice. CDF continues to conduct programs and discussions on the creation of a new Zimbabwe founded on constitutionalism, democracy, devolution and the rule of law. Despite the challenging environment, CDF continues to mobilize, engage, advance and defend. Together we advance! Together we defend! #2030taramba #2030siyala #DefendTheConstitution

The Constitution Defenders Forum notes with concern the decision to deny live media coverage of the Constitutional Court hearing in the matter brought by CDF Freedom Fighters Spokesperson Cde Reuben Zulu and others, challenging Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3. A case of such profound constitutional and national importance demands maximum transparency, public scrutiny, and open access to information. Constitutional litigation is should not approached as merely a private dispute between parties, the matter concerns the sovereign rights of the people of Zimbabwe and the future of constitutional democracy itself. Restricting broader public access to proceedings of this magnitude risks undermining public confidence in constitutional accountability and judicial openness. The people have a legitimate right to follow proceedings that directly affect their Constitution, their rights, and their democratic future.

BREAKING: Lord Jonathan Oates, Member of the UK House of Lords, stood in solidarity with Constitution Defenders during the #NOTOCAB3 London protests today. Lord Oates made it clear that: "It matters to the whole world whether Zimbabweans are allowed to vote freely & fairly according to their Constitution" #Zimat46

We strongly condemn the deliberate exclusion of @KeeganMathe, our Youth Spokesperson, who was denied the opportunity to speak at the Bulawayo City Hall public hearing. This conduct is unacceptable and further exposes a process that is unfair, restrictive, and not reflective of the people’s will, especially the voices of young people whose future is directly at stake. We therefore reiterate our call for a national referendum, to ensure that all citizens particularly, students and youths are given a fair and equal opportunity to determine their future.
