Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader, Nelson Chamisa, finds himself at the centre of startling allegations of cultism and spiritual manipulation within his party.
Some members of the CCC accuse Chamisa of using spiritualistic tactics to impose his will and convince others to blindly follow his decisions.
An inside source revealed that Chamisa allegedly informs the party leadership that his decisions are divinely inspired, implying they were beyond reproach.
According to the source, Chamisa insists that he receives his instructions directly from God, thus casting doubt on any form of disagreement or questioning within the party.
This spiritual narrative has reportedly deceived several CCC leaders, such as Tendai Biti, into believing that Chamisa was an oracle of God.
In one noted case, the source claims Chamisa invoked his claimed divine guidance to influence a significant party decision. According to the source, Chamisa used his supposed spiritual insight to bar Biti from contesting in Harare East, insisting God had chosen Allan Markham as the candidate for that constituency.
These accusations, if substantiated, could significantly impact the party's unity, influence decision-making processes, and potentially lead to a shift in the CCC's leadership dynamics.
The same source said that whispers among some CCC members suggest a sense of unease over Chamisa's alleged practices.
According to the source, some CCC leaders predict that Chamisa’s fall would be spectacular due to his purported employment of cultism within the party.
In an ironic twist, Chamisa appears to dismiss others' claims of divine communication.
The source said that Chamisa recently rejected a prophecy from an unidentified prophet stating that Chamisa would face a life-threatening incident at a Gweru rally, labelling it as nonsensical.
Meanwhile, political analyst Hilda Muchenje said that these unfolding events place the CCC and its leadership under intense scrutiny, leaving many to wonder about the validity of these allegations and the potential impact on the party's stability and future electoral success.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, all eyes would be on Chamisa and the CCC to see how they navigate this storm.
