Trevor Ncube Pushes for Unified Opposition, Calls for Action on Constitutional Amendment
Trevor Ncube, Alpha Media Holdings board chair, has issued a firm critique of ZANU PF, saying the ruling party is no longer capable of internal reform and has become entrenched across political and economic institutions. Writing on X, he argued the system fosters self-interest and has normalized declining public administration standards. Ncube called for comprehensive transformation, not gradual reform. He urged citizens to oppose Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 by sending written objections to the Clerk of Parliament by 17 May, and to engage MPs on their positions. His comments add to debate on governance and constitutional reform.

Alpha Media Holdings board chairperson Trevor Ncube has issued a firm critique of the ruling ZANU PF, describing it as a system that, in his view, is no longer capable of internal reform.
In a public commentary shared on X (formerly Twitter), Ncube argued that the party has evolved into a deeply entrenched political, economic and social structure. He characterised it as pervasive within governance institutions and broader society, raising concerns about its long-term impact on national development.
Ncube further contended that the current system has fostered a culture driven by self-interest and opportunism, suggesting that declining standards in public administration have become normalised. He added that these challenges are not confined to political institutions alone, but have also influenced broader societal attitudes and civic conduct.
Emphasising the need for decisive change, Ncube called for what he described as a comprehensive transformation of the existing system, rather than gradual or incremental reforms.
He also directed attention to the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3), urging citizens to actively participate in the legislative process. Ncube encouraged members of the public to submit written objections to the Clerk of Parliament ahead of the 17 May deadline and indicated that he would provide a template to facilitate formal submissions.
In addition, he called on citizens to engage their Members of Parliament and seek clarity on their positions regarding the bill, outlining a series of structured civic actions aimed at promoting accountability and public participation.
Ncube’s remarks contribute to the ongoing national discourse surrounding constitutional reform, governance, and citizen engagement, as Parliament prepares to consider the proposed amendments.
