Political analysts have dismissed former Zanu PF National Youth Political Commissar and leader of the Front for Economic Emancipation of Zimbabwe (FEEZ), Godfrey Tsenengamu, as a political opportunist who should not be taken seriously.

They argued that his history of shifting allegiances and failed political ventures disqualifies him from commenting on ZANU PF internal politics.
Tsenengamu, who was expelled from ZANU PF in 2020, has been involved in various political movements but has struggled to establish himself as a credible figure.
He has been linked to Blessing Kasiyamhuru’s Zimbabwe Partnership for Prosperity (ZIPP), briefly sympathised with the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), and even formed his own party, FEEZ, in a bid to position himself as an independent voice.
However, his ventures have been short-lived, with no tangible political success.
Several political analysts who spoke to this publication argued that Tsenengamu lacks the moral standing to comment on Zanu PF’s internal affairs, given that he is no longer a member of the ruling Party.
Political analyst Llyod Machisa dismissed Tsenengamu’s political relevance, saying, “His career has been defined by inconsistency. He is a man in search of a political home, yet every time he aligns himself with a cause, he fails to sustain it. That alone, makes his opinion on Zanu PF politics irrelevant.”
Another commentator, Calvin Chitsunge, echoed similar sentiments.
“Tsenengamu has been everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He was with Zanu PF, then got kicked out. He started his own party, which went nowhere. He flirted with CCC but failed to fully commit. Now he wants to be an anti-corruption crusader and a commentator on Zanu PF internal issues. How can such a man be taken seriously?” said Chitsunge.
Tsenengamu’s attempt at philanthropy also failed to gain traction.
He had presented himself as a champion of economic empowerment, but critics argue that his initiatives lacked structure and vision.
Political analyst Mildred Siwela weighed in, stating, “Tsenengamu is a classic example of a political opportunist. He jumps from one movement to another, hoping to find relevance. But in politics, credibility matters, and he has lost his.”
Miriam Mhlanga summed it up, saying, “Tsenengamu is a spent force. His history speaks for itself—he has tried everything and failed. No serious politician or voter considers him a factor in Zimbabwean politics anymore.”
With a track record of inconsistency, failed political ventures, and shifting alliances, analysts say Tsenengamu has become a figure of irrelevance in Zimbabwe’s political landscape.
While he continues to seek influence, many believe he has exhausted his chances and is unlikely to make a meaningful impact going forward.
