With just a week in existence, CCC is staring down an ugly reality: the unrepresentative leadership trying to ride on inflated popularity… By Dr Masimba Mavaza | Social media went crazy with the formation of the new name given to MDC. The CCC has started off on a very wrong footing and it needs to be guided into political maturity. The problem of politicians is that they want a democratic government but want undemocratic political parties. All opposition political parties in Zimbabwe are standing on undemocratic systems. This is seen in the dubious formation of the CCC which was formed with known rules or regulations guiding them. It was introduced to the people without any structures. Mwonzora loudly says the Supreme Court has abolished Nelson Chamisa
Opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration of worsening the living standards of the citizenry. Chamisa posted on social media that voting for ZANU PF again is voting for poverty considering that living standards are deteriorating under the watch of the Mnangagwa-led government. He speaks at a time when Zimbabwe is gearing for the 2023 general election with the ruling party saying it is poised for victory. He posted on Facebook on Tuesday: “Of interest to Zimbabweans is the fact that in 2018, 29% of the population was in extreme poverty. About two years later, an additional 20% of the population entered into extreme poverty on the back of years of bad policies, bad governance, conflict and

Nelson Chamisa’s MDC melting like a candle. Victor Matemadanda said this while addressing a Zanu-PF Mashonaland East provincial co-ordinating committee meeting held in Marondera on Sunday, where he told delegates that the revolutionary party would never surrender the country to the opposition. ZANU PF national political commissar Victor Matemadanda has said that the ruling party will not regret the downfall of opposition MDC Alliance and its leader Nelson Chamisa. He likened Chamisa’s demise to a “melting burning candle”, adding that Zanu-PF would ensure his total annihilation. His statement came at a time the MDC Alliance has suffered heavy losses in recent weeks, where 48 legislators and more than 80 councillors were also recalled by the rival MDC-T camp led
MDC A leader Chamisa faces arrest. Reacting to Chamisa’s much-publicised address on Tuesday dubbed Agenda 2021, Zanu PF national spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo accused the youthful opposition leader of trying to cause instability in the country, adding that the ruling party would make it a matter for law enforcement agencies. “While Zanu PF has the capacity to thwart such machinations, as a law-abiding organisation, we rest the matter with the law enforcement agencies.” ZANU PF yesterday lobbied for the arrest of opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa accusing him of calling for the unconstitutional removal of President Emmerson Mnangagwa from office. In his address which has unsettled Zanu PF, Chamisa defined the year 2021 as the year for citizens to resist
Churches call for Army to be included in Politics National Dialogue. ZCC made the call last week at a time when the clergy was pushing for a national convergence platform that seeks to bring together key stakeholders including all political parties, civic society groups, among other groups to find ways of extricating the country from its socio-economic challenges. The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) has called for the inclusion of the State security organs in the national dialogue process to ensure inclusivity in the process. ZCC said in a statement: On the role of the security sector, there was a sense that they needed to be involved in such national engagement since the human security challenge is central to the issues at the national question. On the next steps, it was al
Temba Mliswa to ED: We all marched against Mugabe, but now you are in power and eating alone. Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Mliswa bemoaned abuse of human rights under the so-called new dispensation, saying they are now only serving their own interests. Norton Independent Member of Parliament,Temba Mliswahas told President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration that Zimbabwe is now a divided nation, with the Karangas now in power and now eating alone. “In November 2017 we marched together against Mugabe as one people, but today they have forgotten.

Nelson Chamisa to give MDC A a new name as brand name MDC implodes. Ironically the MDC has transformed to be the most undemocratic and chaotic party in Zimbabwe. Dominated by greed corruption and gossip Chamisa is now struggling to hold the MDC together. It has taken Chamisa three years to destroy what Tsvangirai has built. Zimbabweans owe Tsvangirai some gratitude for supporting maintaining democracy by holding the MDC together and provide the nation with a solid opposition. The Tsvangirai Chete chete mantra has plunged the party in a big pool of destruction. The MDC will never remain the same MDC has shown us a vivid illustration of the unity of purpose that characterizes this party when it is at its worst. It was that unity of purpose that drove MDC leaders to be rumour monger

MDC Alliance Vice Chairman, Job Sikhala, has sensationally claimed that representatives from the Khupe led MDC-T approached him to become their President. Sikhala was responding to comments by MDC-T Spokesman, Khaliphani Phugeni, where he said Sikhala was not recalled because he agreed with the Supreme Court ruling that made Dr Thokozani Khuphe MDC-T Acting President. Sikhala wrote : *What has really Khalipani Phugeni said?* *By Hon Job Wiwa Sikhala* MDC Alliance National Vice Chairman and 31 July Movement Spokesperson. I was shocked when my sister Gladys Hlatshwayo phoned me when I was driving from the Parliament car park rushing to go and read in preparation of my final Master of Laws degree Exams coming next week about what Khalipani Phugeni is alleged to have said abo
