The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) is planning to take legal action against individuals they believe are responsible for painting their party offices in Bulawayo blue. The offices were originally yellow, which is the official colour of the CCC. However, the Bulawayo offices were repainted and there is a portrait of Nelson Chamisa who resigned from the party last week.
There have been rumours that Chamisa intends to form a new party called Democratic Alternative Zimbabwe (DAZ) with sky blue as its colour. Chamisa left the main opposition party, CCC, exactly two years after its formation, alleging that it had been infiltrated and hijacked by the ruling ZANU PF party and its allies within the CCC.
Sengezo Tshabangu, the disputed interim secretary general of the CCC, stated that they consider these actions to be criminal and indicative of the individuals surrounding Chamisa. He told the Chronicle:
We will be taking legal action soon, those are criminals that we have been talking about that have surrounded the president. We are preparing court papers to stop this and any other such criminal activity.
Previously, Tshabangu warned against the abuse of party symbols adding that even Chamisa is not allowed to use his face which is a party symbol, if he decides to leave the CCC party.
