Term limit bill proposed & R3bn solar project
Zimbabweans face potential changes to presidential term limits under a new legislative proposal. Additionally, a prominent local businessman has secured a major energy deal and new citizenship in neighboring Eswatini.
You may see current presidential term limits removed or extended following the introduction of Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, a plan to change the country's main laws. Rights lawyers warn that the bill creates a path for leaders to remain in office indefinitely, fundamentally changing the rules that currently restrict how long a person can serve as president.
Businessman Wicknell Chivayo has pledged to build a R3 billion solar power plant in Eswatini after being granted citizenship and a diplomatic passport by King Mswati III. The investment in renewable energy comes as Chivayo expands his business operations across the border.
