Many have asked my view on the CCC parliamentary boycott today.
Now that it has happened and it is now part of our history, I can comment without prejudice.

My view on the boycott is that it is CCC’s right if it collectively chose to stay away from parliament.
But every decision and even right has to be strategic and it must have an end game instead of just being petulant or emotional.

The great Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu said;
“It is the unemotional, reserved, calm, detached warrior who wins, not the hothead seeking vengeance.”

Don’t respond to issues out of an emotional reflex, know your enemy and plan properly.

CCC must calculate its strength and be aware of the things within its control and grasp, and more importantly it must calculate risk associated with taking certain actions.

Emmerson Mnangagwa went after Chamisa’s MDCA and destroyed it using State apparatus because he felt humiliated, he went after them because he could.

Today he suffered similar humiliation addressing only his ZANUPF parliamentarians in front of diplomats.

If I were CCC, I would calculate the risk associated with a backlash, and whether I had the tools to fight back if confronted in this particular battle of a long term war.

Mnangagwa’s actions are predictable, he will more likely dock the salaries and allowances of CCC MPs.
He will also move to stop the disbursement of their Political Parties Act funds.

The risk of CCC MPs losing their allowances is associated with creating cracks in the party, some who used their money for campaigns will feel that they need a return and not to continue losing money.

There are CCC MPs who don’t have jobs and some who have never worked their whole life, parliament is their job and or career.
If they disobey Chamisa, they risk a Recall, but such a move will tempt Mnangagwa into instructing the speaker of parliament from blocking such a Recall, once that happens such an MP is lost.

Mnangagwa will immediately pamper them with an eye on his much needed 2/3 majority as he did with Mwonzora and his MPs.

The second issue is of the Political Parties Act funding, the risk associated with that is it will be stopped, and this will financially cripple CCC as a political party.

These two risks associated with boycotting parliament can be appealed in courts of law, but we all know from history that the courts of law are on whose side politically.

One would be correct to argue that Mnangagwa has no such power as with many other things that his regime has done including jailing Job Sikhala without bail, but Mnangagwa and his team don’t care about what the world thinks of them when it comes to their self preservation.

The key question is that if this happened, was the boycott worth it?
Did the boycott contribute towards any new awareness around what we already know that the election was shambolic.

The third and most fundamental question is whether Chamisa and CCC have any options available to fight back since we know that courts are not an option?
So this is how I saw today’s boycott!

If the boycott has an end game, it was worth it.
If it was a leadership collective decision and if the MPs are prepared to stand with their leader if their livelihood is threatened, then it was worth it.
If Chamisa has the means to fight back if Mnangagwa moves in as he did in 2018, then it was worth it again.

But if he doesn’t have those pertinent things, then it was an empty gesture that might be used to come after him and his party

Lastly, Sun Tzu suggests that knowing your risks is not enough to ensure your success.
Knowledge of the processes that may create the risks is also crucial for success.
Considering risks in a vacuum is only half a solution.

He said;
“If you know the enemy & know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

It is crystal clear that there are people who have been waiting to expose Nelson Chamisa and CCC as weak and incompetent,
Because he apparently did not listen to their advice.
Ma citizens (In Susan’svoice),
Please let’s ignore the megalomaniacs,
They are a distraction from what is at stake,
Let them rant and rave & fight their personal battles with Chamisa.
Whether Chamisa is weak or strong or right or wrong or has V11s or he doesn’t,
Is not what matters right,
What matters is that in broad daylight,
And to the utter shock and amazement of local and foreign observers,
Our votes were stolen!
The will of the people,
Our will,
Has been subverted.
I’m not fighting for Chamisa,
I’m fighting for my freedom,
I’m fighting for my life,
And for the lives and livelihoods of my children and future generations.
Shocking that in the face of another 5 years of poverty,
Exile for some,
False arrests,
Lack of public and merit goods,
You are attacking Chamisa & CCC,
And not the oppressor.
Liyayangisa njani!
Munonyadzisa!
Childish, egotistic lunatics!
🚮
We need a revolution.

@nickmangwana Why has ZEC taken down the results 🤔🤔

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

Zimbabwe’s election was not credible, reports today’s @NewsDayZimbabwe based on @SADC_News and @_AfricanUnion observer mission reports.

For the first time in Zimbabwe’s electoral history, the regional body SADC has trashed the election process using the evidence which was on show for all to see of shambolic planning, voter intimidation and suppression, and election rigging!
