A total of 75 senators voted in favour with only four opposing, comfortably exceeding the two-thirds majority required.

THE Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3) completed its passage through Parliament after the Senate overwhelmingly approved the legislation on 24 June 2026. A total of 75 senators voted in favour with only four opposing, comfortably exceeding the two-thirds majority required. The National Assembly had previously passed the Bill by 216 votes to 42 on 18 June 2026, with several opposition legislators supporting the ruling party. The Bill now awaits the President’s assent before being gazetted. However, critics highlight the amendments raise serious human rights concerns including the extension of presidential terms to seven years which delays citizens’ right to participate in regular elections under Section 67 of the Constitution and the removal of direct presidential elections, transferring that power to Parliament and diminishing popular sovereignty.

BIKITA Minerals Sinomine is pressing ahead with plans to value-add its lithium  after securing US$500 million in funding for a transformative project that will see the mine begin to produce lithium sulphate by the second quarter of 2027.

The development is expected to further cement Zimbabwe’s position as a key player in the global lithium battery market.

The new processing plant will be rolled out in two phases. The first phase, with an annual capacity of 60 000 tonnes of lithium sulphate, is scheduled for commissioning in Q2 2027.

The second phase, which will add a further 65 000 tonnes per year, is set for completion by the start of 2028 — bringing total annual output to 125 000 tonnes.

During a tour of the mine last week, Bikita Minerals Sinomine officials informed a delegation of senior Government officials led by Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Zhemu Soda that funding for the lithium sulphate venture had been secured.

Dr Soda was on a media tour of flagship and transformative projects across Masvingo that are driving the march towards an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.

The mine’s assistant general manager, Mr Thomas Mufumi, disclosed that the company is targeting annual lithium sulphate production of 125 000 tonnes by 2028.

Minister Soda commended the mine for heeding the Second Republic’s call to invest in lithium beneficiation, noting that the Bikita-based mine had undergone major transformation in just a few years.

“When I last came here, many of the things we see today were not there,” said Minister Soda.

“What has happened over these past few years is truly encouraging. The mine now produces spodumene concentrate, a high-value mineral known as caesium, and petalite — all extracted from a hybrid processing plant built on site.”
