Trevor Ncube calls for strong opposition to Zanu PF, urges action on CAB3

Alpha Media Holdings board chairperson Trevor Ncube has issued a strongly worded critique of Zimbabwe’s ruling party, Zanu PF, describing it as a “destructive system” that he says cannot be reformed from within.


In a public commentary on X (formerly Twitter), Ncube argued that Zanu PF has evolved into what he termed a political, economic and social “parasite”, claiming it has become deeply entrenched in governance structures and wider society.

He further alleged that the party has attracted individuals driven by greed and opportunism, saying mediocrity has become normalised within state systems. Ncube also suggested that political decay has filtered into everyday social behaviour, influencing public conduct and civic responsibility.

According to his remarks, the system “must be uprooted root and branch”, signalling his call for fundamental political change rather than incremental reform.

Ncube also urged citizens to take immediate action regarding the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3), encouraging written objections to be submitted to the Clerk of Parliament by 17 May. He said he would publish a template to assist citizens in formally opposing the bill and encouraged the public to pressure Members of Parliament to account for their positions.

He outlined what he described as “seven specific actions” for civic engagement, presenting them as part of a structured campaign rather than isolated protest slogans.

The remarks were shared alongside a link to his Substack publication, where he expanded on his views regarding constitutional reform, governance standards and political accountability in Zimbabwe.

Ncube’s statement adds to the ongoing national debate over constitutional amendments, governance concerns and public participation ahead of parliamentary consideration of CAB3.
