Fellow Zimbabweans,
The political vacuum in Zimbabwe is not due to a lack of individuals, but a lack of political will to transform the situation. The puppetry and fictional politics we’ve seen have destroyed the country, focusing on trivialities while ignoring fundamental issues. Leaders like Nelson Chamisa, who prioritize dance over substance, are a circus to the people crying out for service delivery, decent meals, and healthcare.
We’ve had opportunistic politicians exploiting the system for far too long, lacking genuine love for the masses. It’s unacceptable that Mr. Chamisa can come and go as he pleases without accountability. The fight for change in Zimbabwe is not just about removing ZanuPf, but about enforcing accountability, deploying ambassadors of unity, and exposing maladministration. We need an opposition that advocates for the wellbeing of the people, through thick and thin.
Policies must be communicated clearly, and leaders must partner with citizens towards a shared vision, not the other way around. The era of taking citizens for granted is over. We demand leaders who will stand with the people, dark and bright. We welcome everyone to join the struggle, but accountability starts with a mother. It’s time for a new era of politics that prioritizes the people’s needs above personal interests.
We urge all Zimbabweans to join us in calling for genuine leadership and accountability. We will not be silenced or swayed by empty promises and superficial politics. We will continue to fight for a Zimbabwe that is just, equitable, and prosperous for all.
We recall the citizen consultation process initiated by the Citizen Coalition for Change, which was abruptly abandoned when Mr. Chamisa quit. This is not leadership; it’s opportunism. We deserve better. We demand that our leaders engage with us, listen to our concerns, and provide concrete plans for addressing our challenges.
To Nelson Chamisa and other leaders, we say: if you claim to have been intimidated, then face the bull and fight. Don’t run away. The people of Zimbabwe are tired of being taken for granted. We will not tolerate empty rhetoric and selfish ambition.
Zimbabwe cannot afford to have individuals who can’t be accountable to the masses, acting as victims while they’re the victors in fooling people. We reflect on the so-called attempted abduction, which resulted in people donating over $2m for a bulletproof car, and we still haven’t received feedback. Mr. Chamisa should apologize for not consulting the masses before leaving the political arena, especially considering he prioritized consulting people when forming the party. Strategic ambiguity has a trace of failure. What measures are in place to defend people’s will against the tyranny of ZanuPf? History must not repeat itself, where intimidation forces leaders to dump the masses.
We, the people, are the ones who will bring about change in Zimbabwe. We will hold our leaders accountable, and we will demand transparency and accountability at all levels of government.
