…as CCC plots to influence the placing of Zim on UNGA agenda
Staff Reporter
Members of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) have come under scrutiny for resorting to deception in an attempt to put Zimbabwe on the on-going United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) agenda.
According to an insider who requested anonymity, CCC members have been making false claims of victimization by the ruling ZANU PF party, crafting a narrative that seeks to tarnish the Government's reputation.
"The CCC has been working tirelessly to manipulate the truth and gain international sympathy. Their aim is to present ZANU PF as an oppressive regime, but in reality, they are fabricating these stories to further their political agenda and for their own personal gain," said the source.
The source claims that the CCC's Interim National Organizing Secretary, Amos Chibaya, has played a central role in this scheme, going as far as authoring asylum-seeking letters on behalf of individuals like Rutendo Choto and Garainashe Willisha Ndlovhu.
"Chibaya's actions are deeply concerning, as he appears to be exploiting these asylum-seeking letters to facilitate the entry of friends and relatives into the United States under false pretences, alleging persecution by ZANU PF. Chibaya has recently authored the asylum-seeking letters for many people, including Rutendo Choto and Garainashe Willisha Ndlovhu," the source expressed.
The source further reveals that this tactic is not new as Chibaya and other CCC membershave been using it for an extended period seeking asylum under false pretences.
"They have been using this narrative for quite some time now, sending their relatives abroad under false pretences while simultaneously tarnishing the name of the government. This manipulation and misuse of asylum claims not only undermine the integrity of the asylum-seeking process but also mislead the international community about the situation in Zimbabwe," the source added.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time the CCC has been accused of using deceptive tactics to gain international support and tarnish the government's image.
Political analyst, Edith Mushore observed, "Every time there is UNGA, they seem to have a predictable pattern. They habitually fabricate tales to gain attention."
Mushore further elaborated, "These tales often include false abductions and claims of persecution, all in an effort to capture the international community's focus."
