Zimbabwe will vote on a new constitution in March and hold crunch elections in July, the prime minister said yesterday, setting a timetable that will decide the fate of veteran President Robert Mugabe.
Officials from Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change and Mugabe's ZANU-PF told AFP that the referendum will be held on March 16,
Zimbabweans will be asked to vote for a law that would set presidential term limits and abolish the head of state's immunity for the first time.
