Mbuso Fuzwayo drops court challenge over smear campaign

ByEnigma 808

A high-profile constitutional challenge against extending Mnangagwa’s presidential term just got yanked, and the activist behind it blames a brutal smear campaign.

Ibhetshu Likazulu pulls the case

  • Mbuso Fuzwayo announced the withdrawal on 9 March 2026.
  • Reputation attacks on him and the group forced the move.
  • Stakeholders advised stepping back from the court route.
  • Fuzwayo insists this isn’t a surrender on the broader fight.

Amendment Number 3 is still under fire

  • ZANU-PF’s plan targets keeping Mnangagwa in power past 2028.
  • Lovemore Madhuku’s separate legal challenge continues independently.
  • Ibhetshu Likazulu publicly backed Madhuku’s court effort.

Critics lobbed some harsh accusations

  • Some claimed Fuzwayo’s application was a deliberate sham.
  • A leaked draft of the filing fueled that conspiracy theory.
  • Fuzwayo flatly rejected every allegation as baseless.
  • He denied any contact with regime-friendly figures entirely.
