SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT…
Dear @daddyhope
I am making this response out of turn with my usual approach not to engage individuals personally. I last spoke to you in 2022, soon after the death of Dr. Alex Magaisa. We stopped talking after there had been a leaked audio in which you and the unidentified intelligence operative, were gratuitously attacking me without basis or reason and through lies, when you had direct and full access to me. I therefore saw no reason in continuing to trust you. Since then you have been on a hateful smear campaign, devoting your time to paint me a monster and less than wise.
Your post earlier follows a series of other like-sounding character assignations and malicious attacks. A line has been consistently crossed, whereby all manner of false narratives have been manufactured to damage and harm my standing , even where the verifiable truth suggests and informs otherwise. I make the following submissions, on the various wild assertions, with the sole intent of putting to bed these sideshows, distractions, and allow us to focus our attention on citizens’ struggles where it is needed most. My focus is on fighting for freedom, transformation, a Citizens Republic and a Citizens government in our life.
The following are falsehoods that have been peddled and the lies conceived or concocted by haters.
1. I am a champion of structured and organized grassroots movement outfits having successfully founded and formed MDC, MDC ALLIANCE and CCC. It is simply not true that I am averse to structured politics. My record within the democratic movement says it all. I am part of a proud history of forming strong movements which have defeated dictatorship to the point of them now attempting to ban elections. Which other movements on the continent have been as strong electorally, as MDC, MDC-A and CCC? Check my involvement in all three? I am fully aware of how you achieve results. A movement is not just a name. A movement is an idea, a strategy, a structure, it’s about collective leadership, its team effort, its energizing the base, it’s an organized approach, but above all, an ability to evolve and survive, uncompromised. You do not organize effectively as we did, and win elections successively as we did, without a plan, method, a structure, and a strategy. If it were that easy and straightforward, everyone would be able to do it.
2. I’m a proud team player. It is NOT TRUE that the CCC was a “one man band.” CCC is in the local government, National Assembly and Senate. So how does CCC become a “one-man band” when it is represented across these arms of government and state, yet the ‘one man’, yours truly, is not not even part of the band? It’s just outright malice!
You say I made myself President and deliberately built CCC around myself. That is false and malicious. CCC organically emerged from broad consultations we made across the length and breadth of Zimbabwe, prior to its formation. The citizens i consulted nationwide gave a mandate to spearhead the then new baby as a response to the hijacking of the MDC Alliance upon ED machinations. We went out into the countryside with three questions:
i. What do we do with the fact that the court has taken away the party name, and the party from us?
ii. Do we continue to participate in disputed elections without reforms ?
iii. How do we select candidates, Presidential, MPs and Councillors?
The responses from the citizens informed how we behaved thereafter, and up to this day. How does a “one man band” attract over 2 million votes and be able to organize and support candidates in different communities all over Zimbabwe? As a matter of verifiable fact, the CCC had organs such as the Citizens National Assembly, which met and made binding decisions which I was also bound to, even in instances where I was of a different political or strategic view. The CNA brought together cluster leaders represented different districts. We also had committees, as well as Bureau
Fellow CITIZENS, I’m focused on the main show, finding a national solution to #CAB3, not distractions or sideshows. My leadership effort and focus is on our plans and a FRESH START path ahead. The die is cast. I say and act with integrity, purpose and in your best interests. Everything I do is grounded in accountability, responsibility, and the national interest. Ignore the sting operations and machinations meant to push a false narrative founded on malice and lies. God bless you.~Forever and always nc
President @nelsonchamisa crime is defeating ZANU-PF’s candidate in both 2018 and 2023 to such an extent that they now seek to keep him off the ballot. Zimbabweans who voted for him are being punished with the removal of their right to choose a president of their own choice. This is a direct assault on democratic will, and we cannot watch in silence!
THE HEART OF THE CRISIS …Fight we must, but which fight?
Fellow citizens, let’s address the root problem once and for all. Zimbabwe needs and deserves a fairly and credibly chosen Citizens Government. An inclusive government from the citizens, by the citizens and for the citizens.
if someone steals your car and drives off, and later you find them in a garage changing the wheels, is your battle truly about the wheels , or about reclaiming your car and taking back what was yours all along? #NationalDuty #CallToAction

2026: A FRESH START… New beginnings. Open doors. A healed heart. What’s ahead is greater than what’s behind. No more carrying yesterday into tomorrow. We choose a new direction, release bitterness, revive betterness. Serve the Lord. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.

According to an article by @citezw, Zimbabwe’s Parliament spent US$400,000 to upgrade the private home of Senate President Mabel Chinomona.
The money was used to buy luxury items such as curtains, beds, kitchen appliances, vases, and flower pots. An investigation by CITE found that these purchases did not follow required tender procedures. The spending was flagged by Auditor General Reah Kujinga in her 2023 and 2024 audit reports on Parliament.
