Powerful words from TENDAI BITI, the CDF Convenor. Indeed , CAB3 is illegitimate, and ED and his cohort are attempting a coup against the people of Zimbabwe. CAB3 cannot be allowed to go through. We are not a kingdom, and we will never be one !

Emmerson Mnangagwa is a weak man whose failed rule has resulted in more Zimbabweans leaving the country, high abortion rates, massive maternal and infant mortality, and widespread drug abuse, says Zimbabwe’s former Finance Minister, Tendai Biti. He added that, sadly, in rural areas, citizens believe the state is their saviour, yet it is the state that has created the mess. He said the Pentecostal church is harvesting from that fatalism which has made citizens give up, saying they are leaving everything in God’s hands.

Agency Gumbo represents the kind of opposition Member of Parliament that every democracy needs. We are all Zimbabweans, but people hold different political views, ideologies and visions for the country. Those citizens deserve representatives who can clearly, intelligently and fearlessly articulate their positions in Parliament. His contribution during yesterday’s debate on the controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 demonstrated exactly what an effective opposition MP should do, scrutinise legislation, challenge those in power, and give voice to the concerns of the citizens he represents. Agency Gumbo showed the importance of having opposition legislators who are informed, articulate and prepared to defend the constitutional principles and democratic values they believe in. A healthy democracy is not built on conformity. It is strengthened when different viewpoints are robustly debated, tested and heard. Gumbo’s contribution to the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 debate was a reminder of the vital role that a strong and credible opposition representative plays in any democratic society.

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.
