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.

#OppositionDividedWeakParalysed While main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has relatively been quiet - conspicuous by his absence from action and loud silence, except for his occasional political posturing and symbolic resistance with a religious-style approach under his Agenda 2026 in a bid to reboot his sluggish career, his former ally in the opposition trenches Tendai Biti has taken a more vocal, confrontational, high-profile legal and public-outreach role opposing the government on its constitutional amendments to facilitate President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term extension and a raft of reforms changing the political, electoral and governance systems. Upon his return to active politics in January after a controversial two-year hiatus following the capture by Zanu PF of his CCC opposition party, Chamisa focused on "Agenda 2026" as a movement intended to rebuild Zimbabwe through a citizen-driven dialogue rather than traditional party politics. While he has launched this initiative and occasionally commented on social media to oppose Zanu PF's "2050 agenda" - incomprehensibly referring to the 2030 agenda - his public engagement has been characterised more by statements of intent, use of symbols and preaching "change" rather than organising grassroots resistance given his huge popular support base. He has defended his strange "No to 2050" social media post and castigated violence against citizens opposing constitutional changes, maintaining a symbolic rather than confrontational role. In the process, Chamisa has now become the weak link within the opposition movement. By constrast, Biti, who has no popular social base, has been highly vocal, acting as the convener of the Constitution Defenders Forum. Others who have been vocal include Jameson Timba as Convenor of Constitutional Defence Forum, Job Sikhala who leads National Democratic Working Group, Lovemore Madhuku and his National Constitutional Assembly, and strong-willed opposition figure Jacob Ngarivhume, among others. Biti has launched a vigorous campaign against Constitution Amendment No. 3, which aims to extend presidential terms beyond 2028 and change the political system. He has referred to the proposed changes as "legal lunacy" and a "quiet constitutional coup". Furthermore, Biti has taken the fight directly to the people, conducting door-to-door mobilisation drives and street campaigns in areas like Chitungwiza and Mutare to educate citizens on the implications of the reforms. Alongside other activists, he has filed urgent court bids to stop police from disrupting their private meetings regarding the constitutional reforms. As a result, Biti was yesterday arrested while organising a rally against the amendments in Mutare. Biti has invited Chamisa to work with him and others in fighting the current constitutional changes. However, Chamisa, despite his massive support, has distanced himself from Biti, Timba and others. He has been pussyfooting and claiming there is no constitution to defend, alarming his opposition allies. Despite pressure to take a form a party and adopt more aggressive approach, Chamisa maintains a propositional posture, making his politics and pronouncements merely symbolic opposition, not serious resistance anymore. This comes as the opposition is divided, weak and paralysed. The absence of a strong opposition and check on power has allowed for the proposal of constitutional amendments that extend the presidential terms from five to seven years and Mnangagwa's term extension, accompanied by raft of contentious changes in the political system. As formal opposition parties have fragmented and weakened, civil society groups and grassroots movements have increasingly taken centre stage in protesting government policies, human rights issues and the current constitutional amendments.

Our President nelson chamisa remains solid, standing and firm. This transition from the past to the new movement is the most important thing to ever happen. There will be no historical entitlements and chinhu chedu. The response from the ground has been incredible. The foundation is very solid. 2. Our concerns about the Constitutional Amendments cannot be addressed by social media posts only. President Chamisa knows that to challenge an oppression you need a solid movement. This is what he is building. Its a real Chapwati by the look of things. A million members before launch target surpassed in a flash. 3. The response from the grassroots has been emphatic. Only President nelson chamisa can build such a gigantic political organisation in Zimbabwe. We all rally behind him because we appreciate his value and importance to our cause. 4. The next phase is the programme of action to address the crisis of governance in all its facets including the constitutional amendments. This will be done in a structured, coordinated and organised manner. 5. Efforts by others are noted and appreciated. We are united in spirit but we have our own organization to pursue the broader citizen agenda. Its now a matter of days and weeks not years or months. Watch the space.

A Pakistani influencer recently sparked a heated debate online after a viral video showed him urging Indian Muslims to prepare for a "big fight." The clip quickly circulated across social media platforms, drawing millions of views and reactions. Many viewers were surprised by the boldness of his message and the intensity of his call to action. The video's comment section added another layer of controversy. Numerous users, some identifying as Indian Muslims, appeared to support the influencer's statement, which left many viewers shocked and questioning the motives behind these reactions. Social media users began debating the implications of such support and the possible consequences for communal harmony. This has raised a broader question: if Pakistan ever attacks India in the future, where would the loyalties of these Indian Muslims lie? Would they back Pakistan or stand with their own country? The discussion online reflects deeper concerns about national identity, religious influence, and the power of social media to shape opinions in highly sensitive matters

While the battle over Zimbabwe's constitutional amendments to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term, lengthen presidential tenure and introduce a raft of controversial political, electoral and governance reforms intensifies across the country, main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has taken a curious position which says "there is no constitution in this country" to defend, meaning there is no need for this fight anyway except on his terms, parameters and front. Chamisa is at loggerheads with organisations like Constitution Defenders Forum led by Tendai Biti and Defend the Constitution Platform convened by Jameson Timba, among several other civic and opposition groups fighting government's bid to change the political, electoral and governance systems.

#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."

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."

President Abdirahman Irro Convenes Strategic Dialogue with National Political Party Leaders His Excellency Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi (Irro), President of the Republic of Somaliland, today convened a high-level consultative meeting at the Presidential Palace with the Chairpersons of the three National Political Parties: WADDANI, KAAH, and KULMIYE. This strategic engagement is part of the President’s ongoing efforts to deepen national consensus, safeguard political stability, and strengthen Somaliland’s democratic resilience during a period of critical national and regional significance. The meeting provided a frank and constructive platform to discuss the evolving political landscape, the imperative of preserving national unity, and the shared responsibility to confront external threats to Somaliland’s sovereignty and constitutional order. In his remarks, President Abdirahman Irro reaffirmed his government’s firm commitment to inclusive governance, principled dialogue, and institutional cooperation. He emphasized that the vitality of Somaliland’s democracy depends on sustained engagement among political stakeholders and collective stewardship of the national interest. The President further underscored the importance of regular, structured consultations between the executive branch and the official opposition parties—not as a matter of convenience, but as a cornerstone of the Republic of Somaliland’s democratic ethos and a guarantor of its long-term stability and credibility. The leaders of the three national parties commended the President’s leadership in fostering principled dialogue at this critical juncture. They affirmed their commitment to working collaboratively in safeguarding national cohesion, advancing electoral preparedness, and reinforcing the foundations of democratic governance. Moreover, the opposition parties expressed their willingness to support government initiatives aligned with the shared aspirations of peace, constitutional order, and sustainable national progress. The meeting condemned the continued and unlawful interference by the Federal Government of Somalia in the eastern parts of the Sool region—a blatant attempt to destabilize Somaliland and undermine its territorial integrity. These actions were characterized as provocative, irresponsible, and a direct challenge to the peace and order preserved by Somaliland through decades of self-governance. The Republic of Somaliland hereby reaffirms its sovereign right to defend its territory and institutions and calls on the international community to take a clear and principled stance against Somalia’s destabilizing conduct, which threatens not only Somaliland’s security but also the wider stability of the Horn of Africa. The meeting concluded with a renewed sense of unity and shared determination to protect Somaliland’s constitutional order, democratic progress, and sovereign dignity—through dialogue, responsible leadership, and unwavering commitment to the nation’s founding principles.

An hour ago, I was on South Africa’s public broadcaster, the SABC News News discussing the implications of Zimbabwe’s new law, Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which came into effect two days ago. The amendment extends President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office by an additional two years to 2030, removes the direct election of the President by citizens and transfers that responsibility to Parliament, and effectively removes the elections that had been scheduled for 2028. We also discussed what these changes mean not only for Zimbabwe but for the entire region, particularly South Africa, which has borne the brunt of migration from Zimbabwe, both legal and illegal, driven largely by the country’s prolonged economic and political crises. What happens in Zimbabwe never stays in Zimbabwe. Political instability, economic decline, and democratic backsliding inevitably have consequences for neighbouring countries. That is why Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 is not merely a Zimbabwean issue; it is a regional issue with far-reaching political, economic, and social implications.

The City Boy Movement, despite not being a registered political party, is rapidly emerging as one of the most extensive grassroots political mobilization networks, with a nationwide structure arguably broader than that of some established political platforms, including the NDC. Unlike conventional political parties, the City Boy Movement operates as a political support and mobilisation organisation, bringing together young people, volunteers and supporters around a shared political objective. Our activities have increasingly taken the organisation beyond major urban centres into communities across the six geopolitical zones. Recent engagements by the Movement in the North-East and North-West have further demonstrated the scale of its grassroots network. From town-hall meetings and stakeholder engagements to youth empowerment programmes and mobilisation activities, the Movement has continued to deepen its presence at the grassroots. The leadership of the Movement maintains that its growing national structure is a product of organisation, consistency and direct engagement with ordinary Nigerians rather than merely relying on formal political structures. We believe that the current momentum provides a strong foundation for even greater national engagement ahead of the 2027 political season and beyond.
