On 24 January 2024, Nelson Chamisa announced that he was resigning as president of CCC because the party has been infiltrated and contaminated. Today, hardly two weeks since his resignation, we hear he is out mobilising for the launch of a new political party.
“Chamisa loyalists led by former legislators Amos Chibaya and Gift Ostallos Siziba yesterday addressed supporters in Mutare during the inaugural mobilisation programme for the new political movement,” reported Bulawayo 24.
“Other senior opposition figures who attended the meeting include former lawmakers Regai Tsunga and David Chimhini.”
The obvious question is: If Chamisa is abandoning CCC in a huff because it was infiltrated what has he done to ensure the new party is NOT infiltrated too, especially if the new party will be led by the same recycled deadwood?
No doubt the ordinary party supporters, the wildebeest herd, will be thrilled to bits. It does not take much to impress the herd; a new political party name, new slogans and new regalia and the herd is ready to follow no questions asked!
Of course, the people are setting themselves to participate in another flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy, to perpetuate the dictatorship and their own suffering. Even now after 43 years of Zanu PF rigging elections, they still do not have the common sense to realise it will take more than a change of the political party’s name, etc. to deliver democratic change and end the zanu PF dictatorship.
Nelson Chamisa and his fellow recycled deadwood leaders have not only failed to implement even one token democratic change these last 23 years, including the 5 years in the 2008 to 2013 GNU when they had the golden opportunity to do so. Worse still, since the GNU they have given up on implementing reforms and have participated in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy for a few gravy train seats reward.
Nelson Chamisa and company have been running with the povo hare by day, making a big song and dance about it, and hunted with the Zanu PF dogs by night. Zanu PF and MDC/CCC have a cosy relationship keeping each other in power. The inter-party growling and scratching swipes are just as common within the party; politicians are like cats when you think they are fighting, they are making love and will have the kittens to prove it too!
It is all very well to say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. When you can hardly differentiate your left hand from the right, you will not notice you are repeating the same thing! The herd cannot see the emptiness of changing of party’s name and regalia for the umpteenth time especially in the light of the stagnation the party doing the same things as before because the leaders have not changed.
The people of Zimbabwe must wake up to the reality that Chamisa and his recycled deadwood colleagues will never ever implement any democratic reforms. Never ever! If they failed to implement any reforms during the GNU, when they had the trump cards, it is naive to think they will do so now when Zanu PF has all the trump cards. It is idiotic, to say the least, to believe Chamisa will implement the reforms now because he has changed the party’s name, etc.
Chamisa and his CCC friends have proven beyond all reasonable doubt that they are breathtakingly corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless. A change of party regalia will not change them. A cobra does not cease to be a deadly snake just because it has shed off its old coat!
Zimbabwe is a failed state. And as long as Zanu PF retains its dictatorial powers to rig elections nothing will change. Zanu PF will never reform itself out of office. Nelson Chamisa and his MDC/CCC have failed to implement even one reform these last 23 years.
What Zimbabwe needs is a quality electorate, with the common sense to admit Chamisa et al have failed to implement the reforms and elect quality opposition leaders who will implement the reforms. This should be self-evident but when so many are easily fooled and repeatedly, everything is an up hill struggle.

ReplyDeleteThe MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform in 23 years, 5 of which in the GNU it is naive, to say the least, to still believe they can still bring change. And so I agree with you 100% that the opposition parties as they are currently constituted are nothing but Zanu PF's B Team with the common agenda of keeping Zanu PF in power at all costs.
We do not require a revolution in Zimbabwe beyond asking Zimbabweans to open their eyes and minds and stop following the Zanu PF B team blindly like sheep to the slaughter. Zanu PF would not have got away with the rigged 2023 elections, for example, if the ordinary Zimbabweans had not participated in the flawed elections because they believed Chamisa’s oxymoronic nonsense of “plugging all the vote rigging loop holes!”
A healthy and functioning democracy demands an informed and diligent electorate and not an ignorant, naive and gullible one. We are our own worst enemy because in our stupidity in believe Zanu PF B Team we are keeping Zanu PF in power.

You will never ever accept that MDC/CCC leaders are corrupt and incompetent because to do that you must first understand what the reforms and how they are supposed to be implemented. You have failed to understand what the reforms are even now with the benefit of hindsight.
You are like Boxer the horse in Animal Farm, he failed to learn the alphabet and so could not understand any of the issues going on. In his stupidity Boxers adopted the motto “Napoleon is always right!” (Chamisa chete chete!) Boxer would not believe Napoleon would do anything wrong just as you do not believe Chamisa can do anything wrong.
It is disconcerting that anyone would ever elevate another fellow human being to the pedestal of an infallible demigod especially some one like Chamisa with a well documented track record as a corrupt and breathtakingly incompetent. But here we are, this is Zimbabwe, we have human beings with an IQ of a horse!
Why you refuse to accepting the reality that MDC failed to implement because that is tantamount “to believing in Zanu PF” beggars belief. One can only wonder what is going on in that cup-cake! How can anyone be so shallow, dumb and slow!
Chamisa is gearing up to launch the new party after resigning from CCC because it was infiltrated and compromised. This is a circus and one at public expense!
ReplyDeleteCCC participated in the flawed 2023 election giving Zanu PF legitimacy and we, the people of Zimbabwe, are paying dearly for this foolishness. If CCC had not participated and taken up the gravy train seats we could have cause to ask SADC to deny Zanu PF legitimacy.
Chamisa is starting a new party without bothering to explain to us the people why CCC was infiltrated and what he has done to stop this happening again. The new party will have the same recycled deadwood from the MDC days including Chamisa himself!
