Hope keeps demanding a “legitimate and duly adopted CCC constitution” plus a full organogram as if that is the only measure of seriousness.
The public record shows something different.CCC was deliberately structured as a citizens’ movement precisely to escape the constitutional traps that previously destroyed the MDC. That choice was made openly and repeatedly. The interim arrangement that named the Change Champion in Chief was never hidden; it was defended at the time by senior figures as a protective mechanism against the very state capture we later witnessed.
Hopewell himself has acknowledged that Tshabangu’s recalls were enabled by state institutions. Yet you place the primary blame on the absence of conventional structures rather than on the systematic infiltration and institutional capture that followed.
A movement that prioritised agility under extreme pressure is not the same as a movement that had “no leadership at all.”An interim national lineup was published in 2022. Whether it met his preferred institutional standard is a legitimate debate.
Pretending no structures of any kind existed, and then monetising the demand for documents that were never intended to function like a classic party constitution, is selective.
Journalism requires context, not just a $10 000 challenge. The real losers remain Zimbabweans who watched an opposition formation that had just performed strongly get dismantled through a combination of external interference and internal vulnerabilities. Focusing only on one side of that equation does not establish truth — it narrows it.Produce the full picture, not just the portion that fits the narrative.
Imagine where Chamisa would be if he had listened to what everyone suggested to him;
Don't leave CCC
Resign from politics completely
Go to the streets
Join Geza
Join CDF
Join Zanu

@GeneralBauer3 Maybe strategic ambiguouity was the best at the time but we couldn't see it.
Maybe we should swallow our pride and accept that @nelsonchamisa was right and is being vindicated by the day
@valezinhumwe bodo Vale, mukoma wangu.
ndirikuti ngatiudzanei chokwadi. You're a politician yourself and understand the value of trust and honesty.
