CCC Rivals in Disarray as Infighting Escalates – Eduzim News

By A Correspondent

The Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) is facing an intense internal power struggle, with Welshman Ncube’s faction claiming legitimacy and authority to make binding decisions. This move has sparked disputes with two other factions: one led by Tshabangu, the interim secretary-general, and another loyal to former party leader Nelson Chamisa, led by Jameson Timba, the Chief Administrator.

The Ncube-led faction has made a bold move by suspending Tshabangu, just hours after the High Court ruled that Tshabangu had no authority to make changes in Parliament. This ruling was based on Tshabangu’s alleged violation of a previous High Court order, which barred him from making recalls pending the resolution of ongoing cases .

Timba has accused Ncube of exploiting the party’s ongoing legal battles against Tshabangu, arguing that Ncube’s reliance on cases initiated by his faction proves they are the only legitimate authority for CCC MPs and councillors. However, Ncube’s spokesperson, Willias Madzimure, has dismissed Timba’s claims, asserting that Ncube’s faction is the genuine CCC.

Madzimure emphasized that Nelson Chamisa resigned as president of the CCC party over twelve months ago and was replaced by acting president Welshman Ncube, whose position has been confirmed by the latest High Court ruling. The High Court decision has ultimately confirmed that there is only one CCC, led by acting president Professor Welshman Ncube.

This internal conflict has exposed deep divisions within the CCC, leaving many to wonder if the party can recover from this infighting. As the situation unfolds, it’s clear that Mnangagwa’s opposition rivals are in disarray, which may ultimately work in his favor.
