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

#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.

🟢The disintegration of the main opposition CCC under Nelson Chamisa due to leadership, organisational and structural failures, as well as through infiltration by Zanu PF, state security agents and sabotage amid defections has given the ruling party free rein on the political landscape and in the constitutional amendment battle to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term and change the electoral and governance systems.

A court in Zimbabwe has ordered former finance minister Tendai Biti to surrender his passport and report to the police twice a week. Biti, who is leading opposition to planned constitutional amendments that would allow 83-year-old President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his rule and have the presidency elected by Parliament rather than the public, is also barred from convening or addressing public gatherings. Mnangagwa, who came to power after a popular military coup against Mugabe in 2017, has said he will step down when his second term ends in 2028. However, he has not publicly opposed his ruling ZANU-PF party’s push to extend his term. His Cabinet approved the amendment proposal in February before sending it to Parliament, where the ruling party holds a majority. The proposed changes would postpone elections to 2030, allow the president to be elected by Parliament instead of by popular vote and extend both the presidential term and those of members of Parliament from five to seven years. Police in recent months have banned meetings and arrested people for gathering to express opposition to the proposed changes to ‌the constitution. Source: The Associated Press.

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

#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.

'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’

#ThereWillBeNoElectionsInZimIn2028 Local Government minister Daniel Garwe says Zimbabwe will not hold general elections as constitutionally scheduled in 2028. Garwe, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s close political ally, says elections will not be held until 2030. However, the constitution requires that elections are held every five years in Zimbabwe. Garwe's remarks indicates that Zanu PF is persisting with its agenda to postpone elections, something which may require a constitutional amendment. Zanu PF is trying to use parliament to postpone elections to avoid amending presidential terms to extend Mnangagwa’s rule as that requires a referendum or referenda, which it fears. A referendum to change or remove presidential terms may end up as a referendum on Mnangagwa and Zanu PF itself. Some lawyers say using parliament to postpone elections will be tantamount to a coup against the constitution. This comes ahead of the ruling Zanu PF's annual conference at Mutare Polytechnic from 13-18 October where Mnangagwa’s allies plan to use the gathering to push the 2030 agenda. Mnangagwa’s close allies are vigorously lobbying for him to extend his rule beyond his 2028 second term constitutional limit to 2030. While Mnangagwa says he not interested in clinging to power by extending his rule, his allies insist he must stay in office longer in power. The 2030 saga is part of the ongoing raging succession battle between Mnangagwa and Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga, who wants to come in at all costs.

'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!

Tonderai Chidawa, President of the Zimbabwe Youth Action Platform, an affiliate of Zanu PF and its youth League, says the 2030 agenda to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's rule beyond his 2028 second term constitutional limit is on and the window for different views on it has now closed. This comes ahead of the ruling party's annual conference in Mutare from 13-18 October, which aims to pass a resolution supporting its Bulawayo decision last year to extend Mnangagwa’s rule to 2030. But Mnangagwa indicated during a Zanu PF Central Committee meeting in Harare on Thursday that the elections are going ahead as scheduled in 2028, rejecting the 2030 agenda. He has publicly said he will step down when his term ends in 2028 because he is a "constitutionalist". However, Mnangagwa has been indicating right and turning left on this issue, with his staunch allies vigorously pushing for the 2030 agenda at his behest.

"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!

#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."

#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.

The clearest evidence that Nelson Chamisa learnt nothing and forgot everything during his two-year hiatus, after he unceremoniously ran away from the leadership of his party in January 2024, is that he says he’s back in active politics to form and lead yet another “new” movement which he "shockingly claims will be similar to the 'liberation movement, that had no president and no constitution': Journalist: "And is this an announcement of the coming in of a new political party, or it's going to be a general movement; exactly what is this?" Nelson Chamisa: "I think I must help you. I said it's not a political party. It's a movement. It is, and a movement is like the liberation movement. Who was the president of the liberation movement? What was the constitution of the liberation movement?" [full video:

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!

They Rejected Chamisa — Now They Are Using His Playbook The opposition in Zimbabwe have secretly adopted the strategic ambiguity. Strategic ambiguity is the deliberate practice of withholding or limiting information about an organisation's plans, leadership, or operations in order to create uncertainty for opponents and reduce their ability to interfere. This strategy has been used by opposition organizations in Zimbabwe because of the government's oppressiveness. They only contact journalists privately a few minutes before a scheduled press conference. Under normal circumstances, press conferences, public gatherings and rallies are announced at least 24 hours in advance to prepare followers (listeners) as well as the media. Under opposition leader and 2023 presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa's strategy, the opposite applied. Press conferences and public gatherings were deliberately kept secret, and journalists were contacted only a few minutes before the event. This strategy appeared to work well during the period leading up to the 2023 elections. Compared with previous elections, opposition leaders and prominent supporters faced fewer pre-emptive arrests and disruptions of campaign activities, suggesting that the strategy helped reduce the state's ability to target them. Its subsequent adoption by leaders who had previously criticized Chamisa and his methods suggests that the approach had strategic value. The fragmented opposition leaders, despite aligning with known ZANU-PF apologists and each forming their own organizations, have failed over the past two years to mobilize supporters to stage even a single demonstration or mount meaningful opposition against CAB 3. Their activities have largely been confined to the digital space, where much of their energy has been spent attacking their former leader, Chamisa. Beyond this, the roughly ten leaders have periodically gathered for press conferences in bushy, secluded locations. Social media has it that these opposition outfits are funded by Chiwenga, the 2017 coup hero who now faces political relegation. If CAB 3 succeeds, his already slim prospects of ever becoming President could be irreversibly diminished. Such an allegiance may also explain the ineffectiveness these opposition leaders have displayed in opposing CAB 3. A relationship with a ZANU-PF faction has created a false sense of security, making them less disciplined and less vigilant about operational security. It may also have exposed them to infiltration by individuals whose ultimate loyalty remained with ZANU-PF rather than the opposition. This, in turn, could help explain the pattern of surprise arrests involving some opposition leaders. The internet is replete with reports of police raiding homes and allegedly discovering campaign flyers and other incriminating material hidden under beds, inside wardrobes, and in other unlikely places, suggesting that security agencies may have been acting on prior intelligence. This explain why these opposition leaders appeared less concerned about operational security. Believing they enjoyed protection from a ZANU-PF faction, they may have become complacent, making it easier for individuals whose loyalty remained with ZANU-PF to infiltrate their organisations and leak information about their activities.

This is the situation in the mining town of Zvishavane, where Emmerson Mnangagwa’s family originally comes from. The dictator has been rattled and is not leaving anything to chance. What Mnangagwa does not understand is that nobody cares who is in power as long as they deliver! The cost of corruption is turning a country into a war zone like this. He conspired with greedy opposition charlatans and criminal elements in the judiciary like Luke Malaba to destroy the real opposition, and now the opposition is coming from within his own party!

All the OPPOSITION folks grumbling about Amendment No. 3 should watch this video. K, THIS👇🏽 is the day ZANU PF got a FREE TICKET to amend the Constitution. Chamisa made it clear that Parliament is not the CCC’s priority… ZANU PF made it a priority & won the right to amend the constitution… It will VERY FOOLISH for ZANU PF to not utilise that victory they worked hard for….. The opposition can cry all they want for a referendum, but ZANU PF owes them NOTHING…. If u lose the political game, u won’t use the back door at a later stage…. TENDAI BITI stood there and said NOTHING, but today he is pretending to “defend” the Constitution… he lost that right the day he agreed to Chamisa’s strategy

In a new development, Mathias Mpuuga, the former Leader of Opposition in Parliament, has launched a new vicious assault on Bobi Wine, leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP). Mpuuga's vitriolic outburst comes on the heels of his unceremonious departure from his deputy president position at NUP, amid abuse of office and corruption. Furthermore, Mpuuga's omission of his significant roles and positions within NUP, including Leader of Opposition, deputy president, and parliamentary commissioner, has been seen as a glaring attempt to rewrite history after he claimed that he was the missing link of the party.

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’!
