Former Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader, Nelson Chamisa, has said he is not involved with any current political organisation or movement.
Since he resigned from CCC on 25 January 2024, Chamisa has not publicly stated his plans despite some of his key allies such as Amos Chibaya, Gift Siziba and Prince Dubeko Sibanda holding mini-rallies where he is eulogised.
Chamisa deposed an opposing affidavit at the Bulawayo High Court on 27 February 2024 in response to Sengezo Tshabangu, who, posing as the interim CCC Secretary General, filed an urgent chamber application in early February to recover the party’s provincial offices in Bulawayo.
Tshabangu argued that the CCC party offices had been seized by some youths who claimed to be Chamisa’s supporters after he resigned from the party on 25 January 2024.
Chamisa alleges that “many people” who have no connection to him misappropriated his name and image.
In the CCC’s urgent court application, Tshabangu stated that their office – the Gertrude Mthombeni House – situated at Number 41 Fort Street between Second and Third Avenue in Bulawayo is where all provincial party documents are kept, party activities and programmes are conducted.
Tshabangu stated that Chamisa’s supporters forcibly took “control, occupation, and possession” of the building and painted the whole office and precast wall in blue and black.
Blue is the colour associated with the so-called the Democratic Alternative in Zimbabwe movement allegedly led by Chamisa.
