Sekuru Alex once made reference to the law of unintended consequences.
If ZanuPF actually amended the electoral act to force registration of political parties on the basis of the so called structures & constitution, the biggest casualty will be ZanuPF.
2] Remember how ZanuPF actually forms these one man band parties, incapable of even holding presser conferences, to give a resemblance of "multi-party democracies".
Most of these parties are in POLAD.
Mr Mnangagwa actually brags about the 100+ parties from the 2018 elections.
3] Any ammendments targeting CCC, through forcing its hand in putting all its card on the table, will actually expose a lot.
It's not coincidental that most of the "Opposition" parties only show up during the harmonized polls.
They were never 'structured' to be fully active.
4] It will certainly be a herculean task, to regulate their full existence, even if the intention is to disrupt CCC operations
ZanuPF fully enjoys the electoral act as it is, because they've always benefited
Any ammendments will actually be a hilarious miscalculation by ZanuPF
5] Theres nothing difficult about writing a constitution.
There's nothing difficult about informing any state institution, that so and so are occupying this or that position in our "party structure".
6] Theres no logic whatsoever to the nonsensical claim that the way CCC is structured is a threat to our democracy & stability, so as to necessitate ammendments.
Parties are voluntary organizations
Zimbabweans are rational beings, & are exercising their freedom of association.
7] Some of the insults daily ushered towards CCC & Adv Chamisa, camouflaged as "positive criticism", are actually an insult to the millions of Zimbabwean voluntarily associating with CCC.
Elections should be allowed to judge CCC, not tweets from fatigued political commentators.
8] Isn't it more sensible for anyone not in support of the "spineless & childish" Chamisa, the "structureless, values-less, philosophy-less, & constitution-less" CCC to actually encourage them to go to the elections in their current form so as to loose resoundingly?
Why help?
9] The fact that the alternative long saw past their scheming, is the sole reason why the regime & its enablers must be kept guessing & frustrated.
Doesn't matter how much noise some random hypocrite tweets from his mother in laws' kitchen in Kenya, #fakapressure
enkosi!!

Fellow citizens, as we edge towards 2023, propaganda & threats such as this, will most certainly become the order of the day.
Through this statement, Mr Chinamasa has invited us into reading ZanuPF's thoughts.
However, it's just a whisper in the wind.
2] It was only a matter of time before ZanuPF removed its mask, and formally joined the demands for CCC to have "structures, constitution, and a leadership".
Away from the pretence of enhancing democracy as Mr Patrick Chinamasa claims, the important question becomes, why?
3] It's in order, recognizing & thanking Mr Chinamasa for this story in the Daily News.
Hopefully, citizens who were innocently joining this bandwagon can properly realize that there's indeed a desperate attempt by the regime to push CCC along a road full of set traps.
My attention has been drawn to some interesting video now making rounds on social media, posted on Twitter by Baba Jukwa, where the indefatigable Apostle Chiwenga speaks about Zimbabwean politics in general, and Advocate Nelson Chamisa in particular.
2] Must hasten to admit that I tweet this thread begrudgingly, as I seldom react to anything done by religious figures.
I've seldom commented even on their statement that may be interpreted as dovetailing with my (political) interests.
This thread is very much out of character.
3] Firstly, I remain very much concerned, as human being, by how tweets by Baba Jukwa & Prof, are continously showing signs of mental problems.
Their levels of desperation & insect stubbornness, where anyone criticizing CCC is a new found ally, are hilariously sad & frightening.
Is it not tragic, on the part of a 'liberation movement', that while it's in government, people begin rationalizing & normalizing political persecution?
How does it happen, that we begin questioning why some Opposition leaders 'never get arrested'?
2] On the part of the Harare regime, it definitely needs to sink its revolutionary head in the sand, in shame, over how it behaves like a colonial government.
It's in that era, where opponents where hounded & made to feel like inferior human beings, let alone citizens.
3] On the part of the Citizens, the conversations on why this or that Opposition Leader doesn't get arrested while his or her colleagues do, needs to be engaged with caution.
If done otherwise, we run the risk of being left internally focused, while chasing conspiracy theories.
2] Firstly, I must commend you @ProfMadhuku, for your consistency in being opposed to the current 2013 constitution.
At one point, you even said some unkind words towards Dr MRT regarding the issues.
You've substantiated this dissatisfaction with highlighting it's loopholes.
3] It's however ridiculous on your part Prof, to try and shield Mr Mnangagwa from criticism, over his appointment of a controversial ZEC Commissioner, on the basis that he acted within the law, since the shortlist came from our 'multi-party' Parliament.
This submission below, by mukoma D. Mwonzora, leader of the smaller MDC-T faction makes for a very sad reading in as far as our democracy & the 2023 elections are concerned.
There are three issues raised by mukoma Dougie, that are particularly striking.
2] Firstly, mukoma Dougie makes the dangerous claim that Abigail Mohadi, was shortlisted by Parliament, on the basis of her qualifications for the ZEC Commissioners' post.
Put differently, mukoma Mwonzora is communicating that the lady in question is qualified for the job.
3] What's concerning about this assertion is that it's all propaganda.
It would've been fair, for mukoma Mwonzora, to react authoritatively, to how Abigal Mohadi actually performed during the interview, particularly because her below par performance is now in the public domain.
