Scared old men
ZimRights recently engaged in various consultative meetings around Zimbabwe to get grassroot views on the constitution.
According to the feedback they received, Zimbabweans “have expressed concern over the president’s term of office” while registering other demands, such as:
- No one over the age of 60 should be President
- Each President should serve a maximum of two five year terms
- A President’s age should not be less than 40
- Every person who gets into office must first declare all their assets
Sounds reasonable except in Africa where scared old men cling to power.
