1. Prof. Welshman Ncube long assured Zimbabweans that "going forward" CCC will not use nelson chamisa face as a logo. However, true to Ncube and Tshabangu's deceptive political character, Chamisa's face was on the CCC ballot during the December 20, 2025 Nkulumane by-election.

Veteran broadcast journalist Ezra Sibanda speaks to CCC spokesman Jacob Mafume who was given the position by the faction now led by Welshman Ncube, Tendai Biti and Lynette Karenyi-Kore on an interim 90-day rotational basis pending congress. While Mafume is purportedly the spokesman, Ncube and his faction recently announced that they had new spokespersons, Nqobizitha Mlilo, Decent Bajila and Caston Mateu, although the latter later withdrew. Promise Mkhwananzi, who is loyal to former party leader Nelson Chamisa, has also declared himself CCC party leader, worsening the chaos.

'Spotlight on Zimbabwe' explores the country’s chaotic opposition following the exit of CCC President Nelson Chamisa. In just under half a year, Chamisa's stance has shifted significantly, from relying on divine intervention for a positive 2023 election outcome for his CCC party, to proclaiming that God will facilitate change through a fresh entity. Following his resignation, he stated the Holy Spirit as his advisor. Chamisa's moves raise questions about the state of leadership in the country. Is Zimbabwe’s problem weak leadership from both government and opposition? Journalist Violet Gonda presents: ‘Chamisa says CCC you later’

#ZimElection2023 DR THOKOZANI KHUPE WITHDRAWN FROM CONTESTING PROF MTHULI NCUBE IN COWDRAY PARK AND REDEPLOYED TO TOP CCC SENATE PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION PARTYLIST In a new twist to what was promising to be a Battle Royale in the 23 August harmonised general election – between the much adored Dr Thokozani Khupe and the odds-on favourite Finance Minister Prof. Mthuli Ncube – for the honour to represent Bulawayo’s Cowdray Park constituency in the National Assembly, Dr Khupe has been withdrawn and put on the top of CCC’s Bulawayo metropolitan province’s Senate proportional representation party-list, on which Prof Welshman Ncube is number two after her. While the new twist is on the back of what has manifestly become an indefinitely prolonged, opaque, dysfunctional and centrally manipulable CCC “candidate selection” process underwritten by intrigue and uncertainty, Dr Khupe, who has not been seen in public doing active politics for some time, is in fact not feeling her best; and good sense appears to be finally dawning on all and sundry that it would be just too much and even cruel to have her slug it out in what is most definitely going to be a gruelling election contest. Makhupe is not well, and this is not a secret to those close to her. That’s why right from the start, the understanding and her expectation was that she would be on a party-list for either the women’s quota or the Senate. But overzealous yet cowardly self-appointed CCC apparatchiks afraid of taking on Prof Mthuli Ncube then conspired to come up with Machiavellian claims that Dr Khupe was the only one in CCC who could “defeat” Prof Ncube in Cowdray Park. Meanwhile – as captured in the attached audio – a hurriedly convened and chaotically organised CCC “candidate selection caucus” for Cowdray Park run by a nervous team from Harare, had already “selected” Dr Khupe in her absence as the party’s National Assembly candidate for the constituency. Out of a paltry 342 “voting” CCC activists – some of them who were not registered as voters – Dr Khupe was “selected” by just 222 in a constituency that had 24, 403 registered voters as of 30 May 2022, when the delimitation voters roll was closed. It is no wonder that – despite having touted its murky “community selection caucuses” some three months ago as an “innovative and democratic” candidate selection process in which communities would have the last word on the choice of their local authority and parliamentary representatives under the CCC banner, the latest CCC propaganda is that in fact, none of the community processes has the last say. This has left little if any doubt that the final word is with Advocate Nelson Chamisa who said last year that he would personally approve each and every nomination form for CCC local authority and parliamentary election candidates in the 2023 election who number some 2,440. Interestingly, Cowdray Park is a new peri-urban constituency in Bulawayo with three big wards: 6, 15 and 28 which are essentially ruralised. Since 30 May 2022, and especially after Prof Ncube’s candidature was confirmed, the constituency has registered very high numbers of new voters up 2 June 2023, when the voters registration was closed to enable ZEC to prepare the final voters roll for the harmonised general election on 23 August 2023!

'GO AND TELL CHAMISA THAT MANICALAND SAYS NO': OSTALLOS AND CHIBAYA TOLD Gift Ostallos Siziva and Amos Chibaya had a torrid time this afternoon in Manicaland when they were told off by a charged crowd; in their ill-fated push for Nelson Chamisa's latest solo campaign to form yet another structureless movement; after he ditched and ran away from his CCC in January. In the ill-tempered meeting, Ostallos and Chibaya were told in no uncertain terms that its them who caused divisions in the province; and that the contamination [infiltration of CCC] that Chamisa complained about when he abruptly quit his CCC without notice last month, is in fact at the top, and not among the grassroots; and that the touted, yet another 'new', movement Chamisa wants to hurriedly form with no structures and no positions will have the same contaminated top that has left CCC with Chamisa!

#IronyWritLargeAndLies Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa's former adviser Trevor Ncube, a local media publisher who owns Alpha Media Holdings (AMH) with the President's son-in-law Gerald Mlotshwa, has raised new controversy with fresh attacks on main opposition CCC leader Nelson Chamisa whom he says does not listen to anybody. Ncube has been consistently lambasting Chamisa calling him all sorts of names, going as far as insinuating he is a tribalist and dictator, but the CCC leader typically does not reply. Ncube owns AMH, publishers of NewsDay, Zimbabwe Independent, The Standard and online broadcasting platform Heart & Soul. NewsDay and Heart & Soul are names of Ncube's media platforms derived from BBC programmes. Although he postures as a neutral political observer who only wants to fix Zimbabwe's problems, Ncube - who behaves as if he has a God-ordained mission to do that - is actually a partisan political player operating in the dark shadows and an opportunist who hops from one party to another. He has been all over the place politically - from Zapu to MDC, then Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn, Alliance for People's Agenda (APA) and most recently Zanu PF by association. He is also a longtime Mnangagwa ally. Ncube's politics is not based on discernible ideological and policy ideation, values and principles, but opportunism and self-interest. He is also not principled. For instance, Ncube just went AWOL (Absent Without Official Leave) in 2017 when he was APA chair only to emerge as Mnangagwa’s adviser after the November 2017 coup without even officially resigning from his party. Ncube joined Mnangagwa’s coup project and became its media mouthpiece in a bid to revive his faltering publishing business interests after losing control of the Mail & Guardin in South Africa. He wanted radio and television licences to expand his media interests, while repaying a US$2 million debt to the Media Development Investment Fund, an American fund which provides debt and equity finance for independent media in countries where access to reliable news and information is under threat. APA had been formed in June 2017, with prominent business executive and academic Nkosana Moyo as the leader. Ncube's jumping ship and joining the coup gravy train led to Moyo to reflect and tellingly say that he had sadly come to realise that some Zimbabweans are not fighting to change the system, but to be part of it. Ncube went on to become a vocal and enthusiastic member of Mnangagwa’s Presidential Advisory Council (PAC) in his ill-fated political adventure. Ironically, Ncube keeps on complaining about Chamisa not taking his advice when he was Mnangagwa’s adviser. Ncube says Chamisa does not listen and repeatedly keeps on referring to a photo he took with him seven years ago as evidence of their meetings to discuss local political issues, justifying his conclusion and attacks on the CCC leader on the basis of one interaction seven years ago. However, The NewsHawks has checked the facts and found out that Ncube is conveniently manipulating one meeting he had with Chamisa in 2016 to make it appear as if they have been meeting when Chamisa was already a party political leader in the context of what is currently happening in Zimbabwe. A Chamisa adviser told The NewsHawks: "We have seen the video and remarks by Mr Trevor Ncube in which he attacks our leader Nelson Chamisa and says all sorts of things about him. We have no problem with Ncube or anyone for that matter legitimately criticising Chamisa as a leader, a hugely popular one at that. Ncube has a constitutional and legitimate right to criticise him and other political leaders. That's what should happen in a democracy. "However, Ncube must stop crudely misrepresenting and manipulating one meeting he had with Chamisa seven years ago for cheap political capital, publicity and relevance. In fact, he must stop lying about it. We have kept quiet throughout his lies and drama for far too long. I think we now need to set the record straight in the public interest and stop this charade. "The facts are very clear on this issue. Ncube invited Chamisa to his office in Graniteside, Harare, where AMH operates from on 5 August 2016 to discuss local political issues, including the formation of APA. Ncube wanted Chamisa to be part of that process led by Nkosana Moyo. At that meeting Ncube told Chamisa that he had held many consultative meetings in Zimbabwe and South Africa on the APA project, which he claimed was supported by telecoms mogul Strive Masiyiwa and many other prominent business people, some of whom ended up with him as Mnangagwa's advisers. "At the time, Chamisa had just been appointed one of the three vice-presidents of the MDC-T by the late Morgan Tsvangirai the month before, that is in July 2016. So he was not the leader of the MDC-T at that time and didn't even know one day he will lead the party. In that meeting, Chamisa told Ncube upfront that while he appreciated the invitation to join APA he was not able to do so because he wanted to help Tsvangirai rejuvenate the MDC-T post the 2013 elections and prepare for the 2018 elections. So Chamisa politely declined Ncube's offer to join APA. The idea was to use Chamisa's growing social base to back Moyo as APA leader in his presidential election bid in 2018. "The meeting, which ran for close to two hours from around 9am to just before 11am (that photo was taken at that time), ended on a somewhat sour note with fake smiles because Chamisa had rejected the APA invitation, saying he is a loyal MDC-T member and one of the leaders. Interestingly, it ended with a prayer. "Ncube gave Chamisa a book by Harvard Business School professor Bill George with Peter Sims titled True North, which is about leadership. Since then, Ncube has not spoken to Chamisa, not even once, except on 14 July 2021 when he sent a condolence message to him after a family bereavement. So Ncube is lying that he has engaged Chamisa on political issues and he doesn't listen. There is no such thing; it's just a needless malicious campaign and posturing. Chamisa talks to many people and takes ideas and proposals from them. He implements what is strategic and practical for the CCC given political conditions and circumstances. The claim that Chamisa doesn't listen, does not have structures, works alone and is a dictator is nonsense. He is a democratic leader who believes change can only be secured through democratic elections. Some may not like his style, but that is normal in politics. There is a difference between style, strategy and substance. In any case, why should Chamisa listen to advice coming from his rival's advisers? Ncube is a known Mnangagwa ally and now he works with his son-in-law at his media business. So why on earth would Chamisa listen to advice from that sort of a dishonest person who even lies about a meeting held seven years ago in a totally different setting, time and space? That's ridiculous. Let's must learn to discuss ideas, not people and events; this noisy mediocrity which pervades our polity masquerading as insightful leading lights of our politics is now part of the problem rather than the solution. He has his own system and team that he works with. It's ridiculous to suggest that Chamisa won 44% of the vote going by official results, which we reject as a fraud, and all those seats in parliament alone. How is that possible really? Is he superhuman? He works with others, but it is also true that other people are not happy. That's what happens in politics. He is also fully aware of critical issues that he needs to address urgently, that is the limitations and weaknesses from a political, structural, organisational and strategic point of view. Chamisa welcomes ideas and criticism from well-meaning people, not some malicious malcontents and bullies. He is a bona fide opposition leader who genuinely wants a solution to the country's problems and he is open to working with other people who seriously want to resolve national issues, not noise-makers and impostors. It's time we challenge these false and negative narratives by people who are more opposed to the opposition than the ruling party. Chamisa is an opposition leader trying to help a find a solution to our country's problems, he is not the leader of the country and the problem. He is the alternative to a failed leadership and its policies that have ruined the country with devastation consequences for all, especially the poor and vulnerable. He may have his own weaknesses like all of us, but he is the best alternative at the moment. Anything else is just mere wishful thinking and drama."

Former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa has not collected the pension he accrued as a Cabinet Minister and as an MP some 11 years ago. He says the crisis with politics in Zimbabwe is that people seek to be elected in order to represent their tummies. They go into politics to get residential stands, cars and money. This, according to sources is the reason why CCC could not withdraw from Parliament en masse following the stolen 2023 national elections. Chamisa was speaking at the memorial of his uncle Chomunorwa Chamisa in Chidyamakuni Village, Chiwara in Gutu today. nelson chamisa President of Zimbabwe Open Parly ZW 🇿🇼 ZANU PF PATRIOTS 🇿🇼 Hopewell Chin’ono Citizens' Coalition for Change ZANU PF Parliament of Zimbabwe

"IT WAS PRESIDENT CHAMISA WHO ASKED ME TO TAKE UP THIS ROLE", CONFIRMS DAVID COLTART AFTER BECOMING BULAWAYO MAYOR " My first vote of thanks needs to go to President Nelson Chamisa, the leader of Triple C, and to the leadership of Triple C. As you may have heard, I didn't ask for this position. I thought at the age of 65 that I was nearing retirement. But it was President Chamisa who listened to the citizens of Bulawayo, not just within the Triple C, but from leadership from other political parties, civic leaders and church leaders. And it was President Nelson Chamisa who asked me to take up this role. And so, I need to thank him for the confidence that he has placed in me to perform this role; and to the leadership of my party". - David Coltart speaking after he was made Balawayo Mayor on 11 September 2023 COMMENT: There it is. Chamisa had pledged that he and his CCC would let communities choose their own representative for Parliament and for local authorities. David Coltart's confirmation that he was imposed by Chamisa is important as it exposes the Triple C leader in three ways: Firstly, Chamisa is contemptuous of local communities like Ward 4 residents in Bulawayo to whom he made a false commitment that they would be free to choose their council candidates only for him to ignore all their preferences, as he did after the Ward 4 CCC community caucus rejected Coltart. Secondly, Chamisa imposed Coltart as the winner of the CCC Ward 4 candidate-selection community caucus when Coltart had not only lost the community selection contest, but also when he had come number last in the contest. Thirdly, Chamisa's contempt for the right of the community in Ward 4 to choose its council candidate, and his imposition of Coltart who was rejected by the Ward 4 community, demonstrates that in fact Chamisa does not believe in free, fair and credible elections; instead, he believes in imposing his handpicked candidates; just like he imposed Coltart!

#ZimOppositionDeadAmidCapture In a political development which further confirms that Zimbabwe's opposition movement is now all but dead due to a combination of factors, including vote-buying by the ruling party, internal divisions and lack of leadership, Zanu PF candidate Freedom Murechu yesterday won the Nkulumane constituency by-election in Bulawayo with 3 416 votes. The by-election was conducted to fill the seat left vacant following the death of Nkulumane Member of Parliament Desire Moyo in a road accident on October 10. Independent candidate Rodney Jele came second with 745 votes, while Auxikia Zitha got 325. Mothusi "Madlela" Ndlovu of CCC got 320 votes, Fuzwayo Mbuso (independent) 121; Alson Moyo (EFF) 65, Nompilo Malaba Ncube (ZANC) 18, Ethel Sibanda (MDC-T) 23, Vivian Siziba (Zapu) 110 and Ester Zitha (independent) 325. The main opposition CCC now lies in ruins due to authoritarian political repression by the state, internal divisions, infiltration and its leader Nelson Chamisa's dramatic surrender to capture by the ruling party following the hijacking of the movement by his rivals from within and external forces, among other things. The current opposition situation is more complex and involves a mix of severe internal challenges and sustained repression by the ruling Zanu PF. The opposition in Zimbabwe is best described as fragmented, embattled, and captured. This is not new. The opposition has historically struggled with internal divisions, factionalism, and a lack of unified strategy, which critics argue has made it vulnerable to Zanu PF's systemic authoritarian tactics. The CCC experienced significant internal turmoil after Chamisa abruptly resigned in January 2024, claiming the party was "infiltrated" and "hijacked" by Zanu PF elements, which is part of politics in authoritarian political environments, leaving the party in disarray with no clear leader and direction. This followed a pattern of dubious court rulings and a wave of recalls of elected officials triggered by Sengezo Tshabangu's actions that critics say were orchestrated by the ruling party to weaken the opposition. Analysts say Zanu PF has now successfully co-opted the CCC, creating a "loyal opposition" through repression, judicial endorsements and patronage that give its captured members access to material privileges, resources and money. The internal wrangling and ineffectiveness within the opposition have led to a further dip in public trust, with some former supporters feeling their decades of hope and sacrifice have been betrayed. This will have a telling impact in the next elections, particularly as Zanu PF is changing the political system to consolidate hegemony. Besides repression, the ongoing protracted economic crisis has further undermined opposition political mobilisation and exposed its leaders and members to co-option through monetary rewards, patronage and trinkets. Having resigned from the CCC in early 2024 to distance himself from its "hijacked" structures, Chamisa has spent the year vaguely signalling a "reset". Recently, he hinted at a new "citizen-centric" movement to be unveiled soon, although he has been insinuating this for almost two years now without action amid growing disillusionment at the opposition support base. Despite these challenges, the remnants of opposition and civil society continue to condemn Zanu PF rule. Zanu PF itself is also divided and is currently reeling from a new bout of internal strife, fuelled by renewed succession infighting. Furthermore, efforts by some within Zanu PF to amend the constitution to extend President Mnangagwa's term beyond 2028 have widened internal divisions and renewed political tensions over succession, which analysts see as a potential area of vulnerability for the ruling party. However, Zanu PF political hegemony remains unchallenged by a weak and divided opposition which has collapsed and fragmented into rival factions as shown by yesterday's Nkulumane by-election.

WHEN THE KITCHEN GETS HOT, THEY UNCEREMONIOUSLY BOLT OUT: FIRST IT WAS NELSON CHAMISA, NOW IT’S TENDAI BITI, WHO IS NEXT? The recent state of the conduct of leadership ranks in the Zimbabwean political opposition is unprecedented in the country’s political history. Just last January, Nelson Chamisa bolted out and abandoned the presidency of his CCC faction founded under a 4-page constitution which made him synonymous with the party and its sole convenor and chief administrator, with no deputy and with no succession provisions. His sudden departure effectively meant the dissolution of his CCC by operation of law, notwithstanding the fact that there are some political vultures like Jameson Timba who are currently trying to find rotten meat from Chamisa’s dissolved CCC carcass. And there was the incredible spectacle of Fadzayi Mahere and Allan Norman Rusty Markham, whose real story and its implications are yet to be told, who bolted out not only from the CCC carcass deserted by Chamisa, but also from Parliament making never before heard arguments from any parliament anywhere in the world. For example, Mahere whose letter of resignation was dated 29 January 2024, posted on X that one of her major reasons for bolting out of Parliament only after four months of a five-year term was because of “the tainted state of Parliament, coupled with sundry breaches of Parliamentary privilege, illegal suspensions and the decision by President Nelson Chamisa to dissociate himself from the captured CCC have made it untenable for me to continue as a member of parliament for Mt Pleasant Constituency under the CCC banner”. And Markham whose resignation letter was dated 31 January 2024, who posted on X that, “my resignation note I referred to the “tick the box” and a “rubber stamp” parliament with no oversight”; as if he was ignorant of the fact that he had been elected in Harare East constituency precisely to provide the oversight that would make Parliament less of the “rubber stamp” he alleged that it was. That any serious Member of Parliament would invoke such frivolous reasons as made by Mahere and Markham to justify betraying the constituencies that elected them, and to bolt out, only four months after they were sworn in for a five-year term is shocking, to say the least. Clearly, Zimbabwe does indeed need better opposition leaders than these kinds who are given to such gross negligence, breached the duty of constituency-representation with reckless abandon. Surprisingly, Tendai Biti is cut from the same cloth. Only some 60 or so days after he boldly declared that he was CCC Vice President elected by that party’s congress and that he was “going nowhere”, now he says he is actually going somewhere after all; by taking “time out”; taking a “sabbatical” to go to Washington DC, of all places. And he’s saying this at a time when he’s in fact due to take over - something he accepted to do when he knew at that time that he was due to go to the US by this fall - as CCC acting president under the ‘rotational’ arrangement they agreed to as the ‘leadership collective’ under the ‘Gweru Resolutions’. Effectively, like Chamisa, Mahere and Markham, Biti is bolting out. He is running away from leadership responsibility. This makes sense of their mantra that they ‘need new leaders’!

#ZimElection2023 DAVID COLTART: BORN 66 YEARS AGO IN BULAWAYO, PRACTICED LAW IN BULAWAYO FOR 40 YEARS, STILL CAN’T SPEAK SINDEBELE, CALLS THE CITY OF KINGS & QUEENS ‘BHULUWEYO” YET CHAMISA WANTS TO IMPOSE HIM AS MAYOR David Coltart has been promised Bulawayo’s Mayoral position by the leader of Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), Nelson Chamisa, reports New Zimbabwe.Com: The promise is based on the wish that Chamisa’s CCC will win most of Bulawayo’s 29 council seats and that the elected councillors will obey Chamisa’s orders in the vote for mayor. Although Coltart came a distant number last, after he was heavily defeated in the CCC ‘community caucus’ candidate selection for Ward 4 in Bulawayo, Chamisa imposed him as the winner, ahead of the real winnera, as Harare’s choice for Bulawayo mayor. Chamisa used CCC’s Bulawayo rally two days ago on Sunday to make public his handpicking of Coltart as his Bulawayo mayoral choice. This is raising eyebrows not least because it's the Bulawayo community - not Chamisa or his Harare cohort - which must choose its Mayor through its elected councillors. Besides, why is Chamisa bent on singling out Bulawayo, and imposing a mayor there? Unconcerned that this is irreparrably damaging his claims to be a democrat, and speaking as if he thinks he would be an Executive Mayor, Coltart thundered at the Sunday rally: “I have been a lawyer in this city for 40 years. I want to use my 40 years experience as a lawyer to review all the contracts in Bhuluweyo, to see whether they are in the interests of the citizens of Bhuluweyo, if we find the contracts are not in the interests of Bhuluweyo...,” to Chamisa's amusement. It is outrageous for Coltart to think he can be the mayor of a local community whose language he does not speak, despite having been born there 66 years ago and having worked there as a lawyer for 40 years. The best he can do is to pronounce 'Bulawayo' as 'Bhuluweyo', just like the Rhodies pronounced it 43 years ago. Hayikhona!

MEDIA REPORTS: Nelson Chamisa has announced his return to active politics, saying this time he's launching a movement and not a political party; after he suddenly without notice jumped ship on this day 24 January in 2024, and ran away from the CCC party he had formed and led, claiming it had been inflitrated by ZanuPF. PUBLIC EYE: Social movements are not formed or launched by an individual, they are people driven and they emerge organically and spontaneously to address a specific, self-evident and broadly shared public grievance. Otherwise, a party that is launched by an individual and which masquerades as a movement is the easiest thing to inflitrate and overrun. Will Chamisa run away, again, if that happens as it sure would? That's the 64 million dollar question. Time will tell, but once bitten twice shy. Voter beware!

These are the remarks by Nelson Chamisa which have sparked a sharp conflict with his former opposition colleagues after he claimed that Zimbabwe has "no constitution to defend" because it has been "shredded" by the ruling Zanu PF. Chamisa dismissed the current national debate over President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s plan to to extend his rule to 2030 as a "sideshow", saying the constitutional order has already collapsed. Former opposition allies in the Defend the Constitution Platform (DCP), including Jameson Timba, Tendai Biti, Jacob Ngarivhume and Munyaradzi Gwisayi, have described this as misleading amd reckless. They argue it undermines their legal and political efforts to block constitutional amendments to extend Mnangagwa’s rule. Upon his return to active politics, Chamisa launched "Agenda 2026," a movement he claims requires "new wine skins" and will not include old structures or figures from his former party, CCC. Colleagues view this as a move to disrupt existing opposition unity and "gaslight" the public. Chamisa continues to defend his "strategic ambiguity" model —operating without defined leadership structures — which former colleagues blame for the "hijacking" of the CCC by rivals like Sengezo Tshabangu. Some critics within the opposition have accused Chamisa of having a "secret deal" with Mnangagwa and the government to divide the opposition in exchange for his own personal safety, material benefits and money, allegations that he has vehemently denied.

🔴An opposition CCC legislator Darlington Chigumbu says Zimbabwean MPs are not ready and fit to elect a President through parliament as proposed in the current constitutional amendments because they will be bought since they are vulnerable due to poor pay, lack of resources and organisational capacity to do their work properly. The constitutional amendments now in parliament propose that Zimbabwe must shift from direct voting for president to selection by the people’s representatives in parliament. Chigumbu, a software developer, serves as MP for the Budiriro South constituency. He was elected to the National Assembly on a CCC ticket during the 2023 general elections.

A war of words has broken out between controversial pastor Talent Chiwenga and main opposition CCC leader Nelson Chamisa over the recent disputed elections, with the cleric attacking the popular political mover for mixing religion with politics. Chiwenga viciously criticised Chamisa for using the slogan "God is int it", saying if indeed the Almighty was part of his politics he wouldn't have lost the elections. Chiwenga says the fact that Chamisa lost means "God is out of it"! However, Chamisa has hit back: "Fellow Citizens; Trust this #Godisinit I believe in. Let them not mock you. He has never let me down before. He will surely visit Zimbabwe 🇿🇼He will show Himself mighty and strong. You will love it. He is always on time. Ignore these manly and sham sideshows. Don’t say I didn’t tell you! Be happy Zimbabwe! Isaiah 33:22 #OnePeople."
