1] It's hilariously sad, how @DMwonzora & crew, do not realize that they are winning battles they would rather loose.

With every hit targeted at @nelsonchamisa, endorsed & celebrated by #ZanuPF, the #MDC-T is promoting the narrative that they are a ZanuPF front.
2] How does Dr TK, who publicly fought MT because of the MDC-A coalition, suddenly become Acting Pres of the MDC-T & defacto Pres of some MDC-A coalition?

How does she become leader of a anti-ZanuPF coalition yet be the godmother of a Zanu aligned opposition coalition, #POLAD?
3] That @nelsonchamisa is publicly recognized as the Leader of the Opposition @mdczimbabwe party is a local, regional & international reality that cannot be wished away.

Any pretence & actions to the contrary, only serve to expose the self-styled Constitutionalists.
4] How do you bank on refactory settings that brought you back to 2014, to concentrate on what actually happened in 2018?

There was no MDC-ALLIANCE coalition in 2014 that needs to be fixed by the Supreme court mandate @DMwonzora et al, are conveniently abusing.
5] Those saying @DMwonzora & team have outsmarted @nelsonchamisa (by doing the obvious), through claiming to be the MDC-A are confusing me.

How do actions aimed at destroying the ALLIANCE of MT by what is supposed to be the MDC of Tsvangirai a sign of political craftsmanship?
6] The Khupe team cannot claim to be the MDC-ALLIANCE

If the MDC-ALLIANCE is a party, then they can't be two parties at once

If the MDC-ALLIANCE is a coalition, then who are the other members of that coalition?

It's all about crippling @nelsonchamisa

To what end? One wonders.
7] Now, on whether or not @nelsonchamisa should form a new party...

those saying so, need to accept this advice is premised on the thinking that elections will solve our problems yet the truth is, they are only sinking us deeper into our decades old political crisis.
8] As we debate on the next move, or lack of strategy on the part of @nelsonchamisa & team, let's realize this...

The Harare regime has been daring & pushing Chamisa to do two things...

i) lead a political confrontation
ii) rebrand & abandon his party

Big qestion is, why?
9] I have to stress, i am pro rebranding.

I'm also convinced that elections are not solving anything.

Yet my love for the gospel will not have me shouting Amen as the Devil preaches.

That being said, i genuinely pray @nelsonchamisa has the strength to see this through
10] As Khupe, @DMwonzora & MK continue with their ZanuPF supported dismantling of @mdczimbabwe, the dury is now out

What initially looked like a "your enemy is my enemy" affair has turned into a nasty immoral political marriage that has just fathered a political bastard

enkosi!

1. Admittedly, when I first read the "structured currency" headline, I thought the Harare regime was taking its "structures" propaganda too far.

With the benefit of more research on the topic, I'm now totally convinced the Harare regime is indeed taking its propaganda too far. Image
2. By definition, a structured currency is "structured" in that it's supposedly backed by both mineral reserves (in our case gold) and trust in government's monetory policies & regulations.

Unfortunately, no one believes any of the two are present in our existing circumstances.
3. Part of why all previous gimmicks have failed is a trust deficit.

Even if the government opts to accuse commentators of being alarmists, causing panick and despondency, no one can be faulted for rushing to withdraw their forex savings if we have learned anything from history.

1. Imagine trying to make sense of how some 4 gentlemen in Bulawayo can randomly claim, 'we have recalled Amos Chibaya, he has ceased being a member of CCC'.

Outside the influence of social media, many only know about #CCC because of the efforts of this indefatigable organizer. Image
2. Propaganda has to make some sort of sense.

Even where some decide to hide behind the claim of "a traceable history in the struggle," Chibaya would make the mark.

A devoted organizer during the times of Tsvangirai & even more so, during the times of Chamisa under the MDC-A.
3. For the successive elections between 2018-2023, it's a mystery how Chibaya found the passion to abandon the comfort of his home and the herculean energy to traverse the country, organizing the Opp for electoral triumph.

Chibaya is very much unheralded & doesn't seem to care.

1. So, a group of at least 25 individuals have decided to join nonexistent forces under the otherwise much heralded #NERA banner to push for electoral reforms.

It's difficult to even identify them as political leaders because they don't represent any political constituency. Image
2. If you review the outcome of the controversial 2023 election, these people combined had fewer votes than the Councilors who won your ward election.

Many of them have never even bothered to field candidates in successive elections but only pop up whenever they sense a need.
3. If you were to profile them, there is one Lucia Matibenga, masquerading as PDP President.

Her "party" never contests.
She only temporarily enjoyed limelight under PDP when Sen Mwonzora brought her as his MDC-A partner before they connived to recall MPs elected under Chamisa.

1. Interesting comment on this unfolding drama by Prof Ncube.

I, however, can't help recognize the continued conflation of politics & law, which I've previously written about, regarding the formation of CCC party from MDC-A.

It's quite strange that BaNcube does the same here.
2. I take notice of @Welshman_Ncube choice of words here.

He says: MDC-A party's "...National Council resolved to reconstitute itself as CCC..."

By definition, when you "reconstitute," you simply restore or build up again, using remaining parts of whatever has been destroyed.
@Welshman_Ncube 3. However, it was a legal nulity not only for MDC-A to 'reconstitute' itself but to even meet & make legally binding resolutions to begin with.

In 2020, Justice Chitapi ruled that the MDC-A party wasn't a legal persona, effectively meaning it wasn't a legally constituted party.

1. Some interesting revelations from the Tshabangu interview by Mhlanga.

It's better to keep people guessing than to come out & publicly expose yourself beyond doubt

On his own admission, he was skeptical about this interview, & he was right.

Agreeing to it was stupid bravery. Image
2. One must applaud Mhlanga for his confrontational approach to interview.

He seldom tolerates long winding responses, unrelated to the asked question(s), in the name of "giving the guest time to respond."

In fact it was his grilling style that saw hats flying in all directions Image
3. There are also a lot of ridiculous contradictions.

Clearly, Tshabangu & his handlers are using the very same "strategic ambiguity" and "structureless structure" approach.

For now, save for a few mentioned names, Tshabangu claims to have the backing of unnamed "42 others."

1. We need to accept that we've seen enough to conclude we've no justice system in Zimbabwe.

Perhaps it's time to totally (temporarily) abandon seeking judicial recourse, particularly around political issues

Why continue subjecting ourselves to the wig wearing ZanuPF activists!
2. Let me rationalize this personal view:

Firstly, we are simply patronizing the generality of the citizens by arguing that going to these "captured courts" is an important academic exercise that exposes judicial capture.

What has been the consequence of exposing this capture?
3. ZanuPF's reaction to the damning SADC Observer Mission report is evidence enough that they don't react to "embarrassment" by showing restraint.

ZanuPF chose rather to burn SADC through an unprecedented propaganda offensive and direct confrontation with the Zambia government.
