1] Evidently, the Harare regime, which had not budgeted for the Yellow revolution that has taken over the country, is now going out of its way, trying to contain @nelsonchamisa

Just like the MDC-A party before it, @CCCZimbabwe has effectively been outlawed by the junta regime

2] @CCCZimbabwe held its inaugural #YellowSaturday rally at Zim grounds Harare, under stringent measures, albeit successfully.

Since then, it has been total chaos.
The Gokwe rally was cancelled while citizens were butchered in Kwekwe.

Other rallies were systematically thwarted

3] This weekend and the ensuing few days, @CCCZimbabwe had planned four rallies, as follows:

Sat 12 March - Marondera
Sun 13 March- Beitbridge
Mon 14 March- Tsholotsho
Tue 15 March - Binga

As it currently stands, all four rallies have been banned by the junta regime.

4] Any self-respecting individual would be embarrassed to write the police letters of disapproval

The police at times will claim being understaffed, yet show up with tanks, to thwart the same gathering

The Binga rally was banned because ED will be in the same town, 2 days later

5] It can't go unnoticed, that the #YellowSkies rally went extremely well, without police presence

In hindsight, the Kwekwe violence was perhaps a deliberate strategy to justify future disapprovals, by generating a narrative that rallies can't proceed without police presence.

6] Yet the very same narrative being pushed by the Harare regime is self exposing.

How do you justify high allocations of resources by Mthuli, to Home Affairs & State Security Ministeries, if the state can't offer security in just 28 towns?

Will be state be ready then in 2023?

7] But ofcourse, we the citizens aren't daft. We see through these theatrics.

There are three main reasons why the State is behaving in such an embarrassing manner.

The first one, as already established, is complete fear of @nelsonchamisa

They want to contain the 🟡 wave.

8] The second issue is that ZanuPF wants to disrupt @nelsonchamisa by-elections campaign

Remember that the by-elections are now just 10 days away & NC is yet to address rallies in Mat North, Manicaland & Masvingo

The intention is ensuring @CCCZimbabwe doesn't conver much ground

9] Lastly, ZanuPF is deliberately trying to sustain certain narratives, to arrive at a particular destination

For Chamisa, the narrative should be that CCC has no ground presence

For ZanuPF, their bussed supporters should show massive support for ED.

...then comes in Mwonzora

10] ZanuPF is equally desperate to prop up Dougie, particularly this Sunday, where they ordered him to redo his flopped Zororo rally

To expose the charade, @OurMDCT has been provided bussies to ferry people from all over, & will be having a "car rally" in Harare this afternoon.

11] Whereas Mwonzora himself has been wearing a brave face, trying to explain away his poorly attended gatherings, they need him to appear popular, esp with the by-elections now looming

ZanuPF knows reality will need to match these theatre optics & only rigging can achieve this

12] Citizens can't afford to be disillusioned by ZanuPF's acts of desperation

If the regime is hellbent on ensuring rallies aren't held, beyond legal challenges to the same, citizens should still respond politically, by self-mobilising in our communities to vote decisively.

13] An at institutional level, @CCCZimbabwe leadership has the mandate & task of exploring all available strategies, to respond to these acts of illegality & brazen lawfare.

ZanuPF cannot be allowed to create & sustain apathy amongst the citizens.

Resistance is non negotiable

14] Undeniably, these are trying times.

Yet, the most critical thing to read out of all this is that the Harare regime is panicking.

They sense & smell fear; defeat & their demise

In response, #FakaPressure

Clearly, Zimbabwe will be better off without ZanuPF.

enkosi!!
