Terrence Mawawa| Zimbabwean businessman Mutumwa Mawere has said the Reconstruction Act is illegal and unconstitutional but nobody within the government system is willing to uphold constitutional principles.

The government grabbed Air Zimbabwe, Shabanie and Mashava Mines(SMM) and Hwange Colliery Limited – using the controversial Act.

Although Emmerson Mnangagwa boasts of having reopened Shabanie and Mashava Mines under the new dispensation, reports from SMM stakeholders indicate the Zanu PF leader lied to the nation about the operations of the company.

“If POSA can be used as a justification by the Mohlante Commission for the deployment of forces when the Constitution provides otherwise, you can imagine what the same people who are celebrating the outcome would say about the legality and

constitutionality of the Reconstruction Act. What can a Committee of Parliament in Zimbabwe do to change the status quo ante?” Mawere said.

He added:”The legal route in Zim u travel at your own peril.”
