Mnangagwa says he is amending the Constitution on President Mugabe's orders

Minister of Justice And Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that he is carrying out President Mugabe’s orders in amending the Constitution. Mnangagwa revealed that the president had tasked him with the task of correcting ” an anomaly where junior members of the JSC are tasked to interview their boss”

In an interview with the Zimbabwe Independent newspaper, Mangangagwa said:

The constitution, in its current state, says that the JSC should conduct interviews of those who are interested in becoming the chief justice. In this case all the senior members of the JSC are interested parties so it meant junior members were to interview their boss,

As a result of that anomaly the head of state, His Excellency President Robert Mugabe, who happens to be a lawyer also, called me and mandated me to correct that anomaly as the Justice minister

The president said ‘no, that is not possible’, so the assignment was to correct that and we have initiated the process. This is a constitutional crisis that we were going to encounter whether now or in the near future.
