CCC in the news as Ghana arrests spark call for online speech scrutiny; led by Nelson Chamisa, spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere. #Zimbabwe politics
Zimbabwe’s High Court has acquitted an opposition activist after seven months in pre-trial detention amid allegations of political persecution. In Ghana, arrests over false news and offensive speech ignite a national debate on free expression, laws, and digital-era challenges. Zimbabwe also debates constitutional timing changes that could shift future elections.
Zimbabwe's National Assembly has approved constitutional amendments to extend the president's term from five to seven years and to move presidential elections from direct vote to parliamentary selection, with the Senate to decide; the bill now goes to the Senate and then to President Mnangagwa for assent. The changes have sparked debate about governance and democratic accountability.
