1. Funny how, when it's convenient, they accuse CCC of trying to promote a "one Opposition party state", yet by their conduct, they legitimize CCC as being the authentic ZanuPF alternative.
Even when you listen to their interviews, you're reminded of this political reality.

2. Take for instance how CCC is given the stick for "not having structures".
In contrast, noone asks who the other leaders are, let alone structures, in these so called 'issue based parties'.
If anything, they are the purest definition of structureless fly-by-night projects.

3. You also hear that CCC hasn't offered any solutions nor alternative policies.
Irony is, not a single party in Zimbabwe is yet to produce its 2023 electoral blueprint, or party manifesto.
It only becomes a CCC problem because it's somehow fashionable to attck that party.

4. You also hear that CCC, which is currently conducting #mugwazo & #REAP voter registration programs, is to blame for 'low disappointing number of new registrants'.
No other party is taken to task, regarding the voter registration campaign, including the alleged innovators.

5. You hear that CCC hasn't done quite enough, to make the Mnangagwa regime accountable for acts of illegality, say through court applications.
Whereas CCC has actually done so, at times through proxies, none of the other so called Opp parties has lifted a finger, & noone asks.

6. You hear that CCC is being too passive about strategies to take over power, in the event of a win, to the disillusionment of the ordinary pro-Opp voter.
Unsurprisingly, there's no other party asked to account for this.
Perhaps it betrays an unwillingness to admit the obvious.

7. Besides CCC, there's no other party that's being taken to task (admittedly rightfully so), with regards to ZECs acts of illegality, regarding the VR, & the delimitation report.
But again, key point is, noone other party, including civil society, is being questioned about this

8. I could go on & on, but reality is, when some of us listen to all sorts of interviews, read about many parties, we arrive at the same conclusion.
When it comes to the seriousness required to remove ZanuPF from power, there's only one institutions burdened with expectations.

9. Unseating a dictatorship which has had +40 years to entrench itself into state systems takes a lot of political investment, build through incremental gains.
It won't come through cute accents, nice suits & borrowed statements that have no life outside studios & interviews.

10. In fact, any political narrative that misses the reality that our problem is purely political, manifesting itself through the economy & everything else, is naive & a waste of time.
Choosing to invest in following this naivety is an uneducated decision, that takes you nowhere

11. Truth is, in terms of meeting real expectations, of actual capacity, of the existence of a platform to mount a serious offensive, the finger points at Nelson & CCC.
We can come up with all sorts of flowery narratives to pretend otherwise, but the reality remains.
enkosi!
