CCC Faction Disavows Ncube And Mafume

The Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) faction, which previously supported the party’s former leader Nelson Chamisa, has unequivocally distanced itself from Welshman Ncube and Jacob Mafume. These two individuals purportedly assumed leadership roles within the opposition party.

During a media briefing held in Harare on Thursday, March 21, CCC spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi emphatically stated that the party does not recognize Ncube and Mafume as legitimate leaders. He said:

Those who claim that they are leaders of CCC are liars. They should be here but they are not. People should not listen to those men as they are not the leaders of the party.

In terms of Councillor Mafume, he was elected and sponsored under CCC. He was our candidate and has decided what he has decided and the party can not be beholden to that.

This movement is bigger than any individual, not least its objectives and aims which is to attain and usher in democratic change in our country.

In a subsequent statement released on Thursday, Promise Mkwananzi, the spokesperson for CCC, announced that the party’s Citizens National Assembly (CNA) convened and reaffirmed its stance in rejecting Welshman Ncube’s assertions regarding party leadership. He said:

The CNA reconfirmed its resolution of the 31st of January on the leadership of the party and dismissed with contempt, the delusional claims by Welshman Ncube et al, that the party is under the leadership of the Supreme Court nullified MDC 2019 leadership structure.

For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Jameson Zvidzai Timba is in charge of all party affairs through the administrative bureau. The party has no recognized position of acting president or a standing committee structure.

He also announced that the CNA had ratified the expansion of the Administrative bureau to include heads of the several bureaus of the party.

Agency Gumbo was appointed Head of the Legal & Parliamentary Affairs Bureau; Ropafadzo Makumire, Head of the Local Government Bureau; Leslie Mukurazhizha, Head of the Finance and Fundraising Bureau; and Mudzingwa as the Head of the People With Disabilities Bureau.

Mkwananzi said the CNA resolved that the Organising Bureau must continue to engage and mobilise the citizens towards the ultimate goal of creating a government based on the will of the people.

The Organising Bureau is headed by former Mkoba North MP, Amos Chibaya, a close ally of Chamia who was also present at the CCC media briefing.
