He has his own job and business,\u201d Zivhu said. \u201cWhy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His remarks sparked wide discussion online, particularly given his position within ZANU PF circles and his increasingly outspoken commentary on opposition politics.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Zivhu continued his defence of Chamisa through a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he emphasised the opposition leader\u2019s public influence and popularity.<br \/>\u201cChamisa can walk into a supermarket and 20k people will gather just to see him,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he needed money, people would sell their donkeys for him. Stop the drama.\u201d<br \/>He further alleged that there were deliberate efforts to damage Chamisa\u2019s reputation, adding: \u201cYou are being payed to disgrace him. If you\u2019re tired of supporting him, choose someone else. Zim is free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zivhu\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- #comments --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Zivhu #Defends #Chamisa #Dismisses #Bribery #Claims #ZimEye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zivhu Defends Chamisa, Dismisses Bribery Claims \u2026 Tinashe Sambiri\u2013 Controversial ZANU PF official Killer Zivhu has publicly defended Citizens leader&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":56003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[3157,1141,384,1841,2358,6694,202,2336],"class_list":["post-56002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-bribery","tag-chamisa","tag-claims","tag-defends","tag-dismisses","tag-eduzim","tag-news","tag-zivhu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56002"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56004,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56002\/revisions\/56004"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
