Former ZANU PF youth leader <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jim_Kunaka">Jim Kunaka</a> has accused Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa">Nelson Chamisa</a> of neglecting jailed <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Job_Sikhala">Job Sikhala</a> saying it is useless to sacrifice one of his own because of the love for power.
Sikhala was arrested in June over the 14 June violence that erupted in Nyatsime during the funeral wake of slain CCC activist, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Moreblessing_Ali">Moreblessing Ali</a>.  
He has been at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chikurubi_Maximum_Security_Prison">Chikurubi Maximum Prison</a> since then with courts denying him bail countless times Tuesday being his latest attempt to be freed.
Kunaka made the remarks on Wednesday at a news conference called under the banner of the newly formed Friends of Job Sikhala Solidarity Trus. He is quoted by <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/2022/09/sikhala-jail-aiding-chamisa-anti-coup-guard-kunaka/">ZimLive.com</a> as saying:
<blockquote>
We know the dynamics of power in CCC. There is one who is afraid that Job Sikhala will take power away from him.
Gentlemen, when we have reached such a critical stage, let us forget about power. It’s useless to want power, sacrificing one of your own, simply because you are afraid they will overtake you.
All MPs are quiet, going to parliament business drinking tea, mixing and mingling with the likes of Ziyambi Ziyambi, failing to tell that minister of justice to remove his hand he put in the judiciary.
</blockquote>
In past comments, CCC national spokesperson <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Fadzayi_Mahere">Fadzayi Mahere</a> denied claims that the party has abandoned the activists blaming the police and the courts for allegedly standing between the activists and their constitutionally guaranteed rights.
She argued that no amount of street protests would result in the release of the party loyalists she claimed were victims of a judiciary system that was taking orders from politicians.
Kunaka concurred President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration was indeed manipulating the courts to keep opposition members in jail.
He urged CCC to step aside if they were finding it difficult to rescue Sikhala saying “the real citizens will take the lead and will see if Sikhala will not be released from prison.” 
During his time in ZANU PF, Kunaka led the notorious Mbare-based <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chipangano">Chipangano</a> militia group which terrorised members of the opposition MDC.

Kunaka Tells Chamisa "It's Useless To Want Power Sacrificing" Sikhala

A group of former ZANU PF members has accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa of reneging on an alleged earlier agreement with his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, to serve a single presidential term before handing over power.
Former ZANU PF Youth League leader, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jim_Kunaka">Jim Kunaka</a>, who leads the group called ZANU PF Original, on Saturday said Mnangagwa was leading a ZANU PF faction called Lacoste which no longer serves the interests of the party.
Kunaka also claimed that Mnangagwa had a gentleman’s agreement with Chiwenga to pass on the baton after serving one term. He said:
<blockquote>
If they agreed with Gen Constantino Guvheya Chiwenga that he will hand over power to lead after five years, what makes him change?
He must honour his promise to Chiwenga… There is no need to go to Congress and say ‘2023 ED Pfeee’ for what?
</blockquote>
Kunaka said the ZANU PF Lacoste faction has given birth to online activists and shadowy organisations such as Varakashi, Young Women4ED, Men BelievED, MaHwindi for ED, among others.
In 2014, Kunaka and other senior ZANU PF officials were expelled from the ruling party for fomenting factionalism.
During his time in ZANU PF, he was allegedly linked with Chipangano, a terror gang based in Mbare, Harare.

Former ZANU PF Members Say ED Betrayed Chiwenga

The Harare City Council is in a major drive to destroy the power of “cartels” that have been depriving the council of much-needed revenue by collecting revenue from its properties and pocketing the proceeds thereof.
The cartels, of which the most infamous is the Mbare-based violent Chipangano outfit, were working in cahoots with some council officials and were active in areas such as such as Mupedzanhamo, Mbare Musika and other markets in Highfield among and several residential areas.
The city council recently took back Carter and Paget houses in Mbare 10 years after it lost them to Chipango. A Herald report claims that the city lost more than $3,6 million in revenue through these treacherous shenanigans.
Harare Town Clerk indicated that the council will continue demolishing illegal structures within the city until sanity is restored.
