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.show more

IRONICALLY Thoz who were INCARCERATED under this very same "Constitution" can't Grasp that all what #Chamisa meant is SINCE It cldn't Protect them FROM EXERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS but it's only being Used when it Suits #ZPf COMMON SENSE IS NOT COMMON SENSE TO EVERYONE

Chamisa is as clear as the blue sky. The big quesn he has posed needs an answer. Fighting against 2030 shld nver be misconstrued for defending the constitution. 2030 is just a factional sideshow. its just one of many symptoms of the real national problem.

Chii chaizvo chino tadza kunzwisiswa nevarume vakuru pane zvaka taurwa 2030 is not the only part where the constitution is being violated, we have seen people being incarcerated for more than 2yrs for no offense. All he said is if a constitution is there follow it, simple

These aren’t errors. NC was paid to sabotage the opposition by making wrong decisions and ensuring division never ends!

It doesn't mean the constitution is not there,zvazvinoreva ndezvekuti dai chokwadi kuchinzi iripo,chikonzero nei isingateverwi neZanu,people tried to exercise their rights long before,but vaisungwa nekuurawa asi Zanu ichiita madiro,saka tingati iripo here fo pple or it's fo zanu

A man contests two elections brought about by that constitution then says there is no constitution. Make it make sense.

2030 is not the only constitutional breach zanu pF has made . We hve witnessed a series of countless breaches of the constitution by them b4. If the constitution is serially breachable then it ceases to be one. There cannot a constitution without constitutionalism period.

But he is right.

That is a mistake likely to be made by why a kid in reception let alone a whole advocate, me thinks he bought his law degree 📜

You have mentioned 4 men pluz a lot more like Chihono Hopuwero who are literally agreeing that they are weak. Without Chamisa they are indirectly agreeing that they are worthless. Coz i dont see hw the view of one man in whole of Zimbabwe will undermine a collective effort

The only foot forward is for ED to sit down with Chamisa to settle there differences, Zimbabwe inoita huchi ka one trust to Brother conversation.

My problem with NC is he gets too ahead of himself. I suspect he has always felt an intellectual inferiority complex around academically stellar peers like Biti, Welshman, Mwonzora etc… To his credit he bettered himself and can go toe to toe with them. But that intellectual inferiority complex still manifests itself in trying to complicate even the simplest things. He is still trying to prove to be an intellectual equal. At the expense of his faithful followers.

He is right.

So, how is repeating those remarks ad nauseum stop the constitutional amendment? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dai constitution iripo Ngarivhume nana Timba vakagara mu Jeri kwenguva yakareba kudaro vasina kutongwa? These know exactly what Chamisa means but nekuda kwe jealous and envy vaakutsikirira Chamisa. Us the majority know the constitution is non existent.

Chamisa is on point. The very 2030 thing is unconstitutional. Zanu Pf is pushing it through because they believe in force not that 2013 document. If you can't see this simple sense, you are dull.

What citizens won't allow it? The citizens on X? 🤣🤣🤣 Noone is getting shot for you, buddie

Let's move on from the pastor he is an agent a side show

At least there is something to defend, this guy Chamisa anoda kutipinza musango mekuti tichazoshaya pekutangira, we can't be led tisingazivi kuti tikuendeswa kupi uye kunoitei no no hei is not a god

He's talking sense though

If we were to go to aby captured court or parliament Mnangagwa will win any case ,l think Chamisa is right this is a political case than it is a legal case only a revolution will save Zimbabwe

Chamisa is now the opposition of the opposition. He just cares about taking power. No respect for constitution at all

HE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. HERE IS THE CONSTITUTION.

Chamisa and his cabala think they are the alpha and Omega of opposition politics in Zimbabwe; everything must start and stop with him. Yet, he's being used by Zanu from long back. Takasvinura kare. He's cruel.

Lets say there is no constitution if we are to draft a new one( factor in the period from consultation to referendum )now how many terms ED will remain in power ? His term starts with the new constitution or his term ends with the old constitution?

The statement is irresponsible and should be dismissed with contempt @BitiTendai . I urge Nelson chamisa to be a responsible citizen and political player .

barely a week after announcing his return to active politics, Chamisa has already started causing confusion within the opposition circles...even his allies ana Timba vave kuzviina kuti Chamisa's leadership haina kwainosvitsa oppositionpolitics in the country!

President Chamisa is 100% correct

He should denounce the 2030 agenda first and we use the constitution to defeat Zanu .that useless guy

Zanu will rule forever as long as we still have people who support this @nelsonchamisa guy a zanupf project.

@grok can we please explain to this @NewsHawksLive in simple terms what President Nelson Chamisa say in that video

People are deliberately misquoting NC to push their narratives that he is not fit to lead. Selective hearing. It won’t work

..not Zanu PF pagans? Can his revolutionary liberation war movement use the scriptures only to run Zimbabwe? We are yet to be told.
