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.show more

Chamisa knows better than most of u here. Zanu has long suspended the constitution, only u were not paying attention. What constitution allowed Tshabangu to recall those MPs? Which constitution allowed @ZECzim not to publish all election results? They don't respect è constitution

Saka paari kuti problem is "constitutional order" hauna kupanzwa! Now please tell us which constitution was being followed in; -Disobedience of Court Orders? -Interference with the Judiciary? -Selective Application of the Law? -Manipulation of Bail Conditions? -Restriction of Freedom of Assembly and Association? -Arbitrary Arrests and Detentions? -State-Sponsored Violence and Torture? -Constitutional Amendment No. 2? -Electoral Irregularities and Militarization? -Partisan Electoral Commission? -Intimidation by Traditional Leaders? -Disregard for Court Rulings? -Prolonged Pretrial Detention? -Non-Implementation of Devolution? -Arbitrary Recall of Elected Opposition Lawmakers? -Abuse of the Recall Provision by "Imposters"? -Weaponization of the Speaker’s Office? Hindaba muchida kunyepera kudzungaira????

This dude should give up politics ongodya anywhere zvake. He is embarrassing himself.

You must decide: remain NewsHawks or become hawkers and peddlers of falsehoods and petty comparisons. The President and Citizen Volunteers are fully engaged in a nationwide program of action with a clear plan, timeline, and strategy, a revolutionary program designed to end the governance and constitutional crisis that has plagued our country since 1980. That plan has time for everything: time for the invisible, painstaking work of building and fortification, and time for visibility, speeches, and cameras. Equally so, comparing us to a civil society organization exposes shallow analysis: civil society organizations by nature reacts issue by issue; a political movement confronts the entire system and works to transform it structurally. That is why our approach, our timing, and our visibility will always differ. WE HAVE A STRUCTURAL NO TO THIS MADENESS !

These days this handle is not writing anything meaningful except kudzokorora news dzegore rakapera to try and smear the name of Chamisa trying to prop up chi new PDP party cha Biti chisina kana vanhu ichi. Hopewell and his ghosts are the only replies on this post.@drjaytee87

There is a constitution! The fact that it's being abused & violated does not negate its validity. It simply evidences that those violating it are acting in an unconstitutional manner. Chamisa's argument here is regrettably flawed & difficult to defend.

Advocate Chamisa is the most popular opposition leader but tragically, he does not look fit for purpose and the earlier opposition supporters acknowledge that brutal reality, the better.

He appears to be fighting those who are defending and fighting or doing something about the current fiasco and morass! He appears to do so very consistently!!

You're doing all this as a way of propping up PDP, we are not fools.

I was very disappointed by @nelsonchamisa ’s apparent lack of fight for the people’s vote after the last election but I think I understand his position on this one. This 2030 thing is just a symptom of ZANU’s absolute disregard for the rule of law or peoples’ opinions!

NC’s mindset on any Zimbabwean struggle/political issue that doesn’t make him the supreme power is not worth his energy as he believes he has most citizens’ support, also not joining in deals fatal blow to his political opponents and only him shall remain standing in any race.

Chamisa is very delusional. He thinks he has so much influence that he actually doesn't have. He still repeat the 2050 thing becoz somehow he believes if he mentions 2030 he'd give that 2030 phrase relevance & make it popular. Sadly, the presidential election ban is aimed at him

In the New Zimbabwe Chamisa should also be arrested. He is a big hindrance to the struggle.

ZANUPF is the worst thing to have ever happened to Zimbabwe. Chamisa is the worst thing to have happened to change that. He should've stood aside and not forced his way to be Tsvangirai's successor. He isn't Mugabe but he has such a high level of arrogance and self-centredness

I have said it a few times - @nelsonchamisa needs a political communications professional. A media professional. He trusts himself too much. Even Obama, or closer home E.D., do not trust themselves 100% on everything. They outsource. @Cde_Ostallos @Laque_davis @advocatemahere

@daddyhope Nelson Chamisa’s intelligence or rather political wisdom is overrated. He is a little naive, cowardly, & apathetic about everything. His action is only talking & wowing his followers & not addressing key matters head on. He circles around issues that demands his aggression.

He is dillusional ! Does he even know that his quest of becoming a President through popular vote is under threat?

@daddyhope This @nelsonchamisa guy is overrated. I’ve never seen anyone fight so hard to lose.

😎☝️💩@daddyhope propaganda ‼️

This is embarassing from you @NewsHawksLive hamunyari here? It's not Chamisa changing the constitution, it's not Chamisa championing 2030, it's not Chamisa causing this country to suffer. Why are you recycling "there is no constitution to defend" as if it's recent news. Miswai imi

He trampled all over the MDC constitution 4 power so doesn't have the answers 2 the constitutional problem. He handed 2 elections 2 Zanu - incomplete, treachery or both. He take ED & Genarari to gate crash a sick mdc president's home unannounced? He died soon after.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @hwendec akakuudzai wani kuti chakanwirwa ichi muchingowomoka pano.

Why don’t you give him right if reply and hear his exact thoughts ! Journalistic ethics 101

He is slowly losing relevance.

😂but he has a law firm operating under the same “constitution”, double standards

Hondo yenyu naChamisa ihuru chose.

provisions and by laws wr abused b4 & ple ignored, this law is only one in many laws that were illegally amented & no one defended, are we going to defend 1 law in the whole constitution (zimbabwe).How many laws that does not required referendum but illegally changed .#DefendZim

Anorwara uyu, vanosekerera ndovakadhakwa! I voted for him believing that he was for the people, I didn't know that he is very reckless with words like this!

He still confuses me this guy.

He could be right! Is there anything constitutional in the country? Is there anything constitutional in the crime scene? Methinks that noise should be made from all directions! It's a big mess! We said it! Vanofanirwa kumiswa, asi. Miswai! No to Nonsense!

Mr chamisa is a GOAT. He is right we can't fight the wrong fight.

Kakachinwira kamusatanyoko kemunhu!

Madness.

This is sad. 😔 Chamisa loves words and phrases that never mean anything, no practical way forward, just dancing around blaming people for not converging while giving zanu pf a green light to attack us. You lead how with what vehicle, as who?
