Zivhu Defends Chamisa, Dismisses Bribery Claims … – Eduzim News

Tinashe Sambiri– Controversial ZANU PF official Killer Zivhu has publicly defended Citizens leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa, rejecting allegations that the opposition politician received any bribe or financial inducement from unnamed sources.

In a strongly worded statement on Sunday, Zivhu portrayed Chamisa as a disciplined and self-reliant political figure, while also criticising those attempting to link him to the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3) debate.

“Chamisa never received money from anyone. He has his own job and business,” Zivhu said. “Why do you want him to talk about CAB 3? Are you not Zimbabweans yourselves? Go and tell ED and ZANU-PF on your own. Why do you expect Chamisa to do it for you? He is partyless. Leave the young man alone.”

His remarks sparked wide discussion online, particularly given his position within ZANU PF circles and his increasingly outspoken commentary on opposition politics.

On Monday, Zivhu continued his defence of Chamisa through a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he emphasised the opposition leader’s public influence and popularity.
“Chamisa can walk into a supermarket and 20k people will gather just to see him,” he wrote.

“If he needed money, people would sell their donkeys for him. Stop the drama.”
He further alleged that there were deliberate efforts to damage Chamisa’s reputation, adding: “You are being payed to disgrace him. If you’re tired of supporting him, choose someone else. Zim is free.”

Zivhu’s remarks come at a time of heightened political debate around constitutional reforms and increasing online exchanges between ruling party officials, opposition figures, and political commentators, reflecting a deeply polarised political environment.
