“The High Court has dismissed an application by main opposition CCC MPs and Senators seeking to overturn their shock recalls from the legislature by political activist Sengezo Tshabangu, meaning the resultant by-elections go ahead.
-The judgement opens an avenue for Zanu PF to secure a two-thirds parliamentary majority through the back door to change the constitution for its own self-serving political agendas, including President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s third term bid.
-A group of 14 CCC MPs and nine senators had approached the High Court seeking nullification of their recall” (Mai Magaisa, 04.11.2023).
This is a deja vu sort of vibe. Not the good kind, but we have been here before. Citizens Coalition For Change (CCC) the rebrand of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) – Alliance (MDC-Alliance) was clever enough to get a new name and supposed “organization”. However, it is falling for the same sins all over again and thinking the ruling regime would play fair.
Well, Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) are well known for playing free or fair in concerns to power. No, they make the rules and the others have to abide by them. If it was the MDC or any other political party. They are there on their mercy and on their behalf. Not to be in the way or undress the ruling regime.
The incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa has used the same trick all over again. Last time it was using Draghi or Douglas Mwonzora with his MDC-T to takeover and control the MDC-Alliance. That was done deliberately and weakened the MDC-Alliance by recalling MPs and Councillors. Just like Tshabangu is doing in regard with the CCC.
We have seen this game being played out before and the leadership of CCC has to think this through. They went through another election cycle and polls to damage the ZANU-PF. However, the party already had sinister plans in the shadows, which they are doing now. Which means the CCC will lost their foothold and become insignificant in regards to the chambers of power. That means Mnangagwa and his comrades can take it all.
Nelson Chamisa and fellow party leaders looked wise when they rebranded and started the CCC under the guise of MDC-Alliance. They were able to restart and get fresh ahead of the polls. Nevertheless, the CCC are now falling for the same trick.
It should be red-alert and warning signals in the headquarters of the CCC. They shouldn’t be #GodsInIt and “analyse” the matter. No, they need to actually think things through and not use the same strategy again. They have already exhausted part of it and they didn’t “win”. The CCC is losing and becoming a laughing matter like the MDC-Alliance did by being dismantled little by little by Draghi.
Now Tshabangu is the puppet of the state. Not that he will win any seats or deliver anything substantial of the CCC. We know he isn’t there for election victories or to conquer the electorate. No, his there to destroy the CCC from within and the state allows it. It is the naive of CCC to believe this would be any different. That the state and ZANU-PF would mind or safeguard the identity of their biggest rival. No, they want to destroy it and dismantle it, either by hook or by crook. They don’t care as long as Chamisa and the others suffers.
I am just amazed that the CCC wasn’t solid and prepared, because they knew the gig after years of Draghi. They should have seen this one coming and envisioned the options of the state. However, they thought suddenly the crocodile would have a change of heart.
Well, the CCC was wrong and now the crocodile is ready to chew them up alive. Peace.
