….as Chamisa camp burns
Political Reporter
The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) faction led by Professor Welshman Ncube is reportedly embarking on a significant restructuring program of that party, marking a departure from the policies of former leader, Nelson Chamisa who refrained from establishing formal party structures to ‘protect’ that party from potential infiltration.
Despite his intentions, Chamisa's tenure as CCC leader was marred by internal conflicts, which the Ncube faction now aims to resolve through reorganisation.
A source close to the developments revealed that the Ncube faction is reinstating that party's 2019 structures in a bid to stabilise and strengthen the CCC.
"The CCC, under the guidance of Professor Ncube, is reinstating previous structures that proved effective. We have already co-opted Moses Manyengavana as the Harare Province CCC Chairman, with Maud Chinyerere and Stanley Manyenga taking up roles as Harare Women's League and Youth League chairpersons, respectively," the source stated.
The source added that this restructuring initiative extends across the country, with an invitation to former members who left under Chamisa's leadership to return and contribute to rebuilding the party.
Meanwhile, tensions are rising in Chamisa's camp, with reports of dwindling trust among his loyalists.
"Many of us believed that Chamisa was the political alternative Zimbabwe needed, but his resignation has shown lack of political acumen that has disappointed many," disclosed a source within Chamisa's camp.
Despite these challenges, positioning for leadership roles continues unabated within the Chamisa camp, with Amos Chibaya reportedly manoeuvring to secure the vice presidency in the anticipated launch of Chamisa's new Blue Movement party.
Chibaya is said to be appointing close associates as cluster leaders to bolster his candidature.
As CCC deals with its internal dynamics, the ruling ZANU PF Party is also undergoing restructuring.
The Party has instructed all its Provincial Chairpersons to oversee the restructuring of Party cells, indicating a nationwide effort to re-organise ahead of future electoral contests.
