Here in Shamva, we are being barred from saying out our views and ideas for inclusion in the new constitution. Village heads have told us that they alone shall speak on behalf of everyone during public consultation meetings. Disappointed.
Let us not be cowed by these Zanu (PF) cowards, lets defy their intimidation messages and go ahead to write a constitution ine zvido zvedu (that contains our views and wishes). Anonymous
I am appealing to all Zimbabweans to push for inclusion in the new constitution the following issues that affect us all: a bill of children and womens rights, limited presidential powers and a cap on presidential terms to a maximum of two, press freedom, dual citizenship and a review of marriage and inheritance laws.

How can we write a people centred constitution when Zanu (PF) has unleashed chaos here? Civic society bodies should monitor the outreach exercise and produce a report before the referendum so that we know whether to vote yes or no. Chirandu, Murehwa.
Thanks to The Zimbabwean on Sunday for providing a platform where we can discuss issues that concern us, I would like to share my opinion with the rest of Zimbabwe that we should resist trying to write a constitution to suit an individual like Zanu (PF) is doing.
We have seen Zanu (PF) campaigning for inclusion in the constitution of clauses designed to protect President Robert Mugabe seemingly forgetting that Mugabe is mortal like all of us. He will die one day and a constitution needs to live forever. Anonymous.
