Social media is awash with Zimbabweans endorsing the yellow colour adopted by the newly rebranded opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa.
Chamisa and his members resolved to dump the name MDC Alliance due to the controversy that surrounded the acronym (MDC).
This came after smaller opposition MDC-T indicated to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) that it would contest future elections under the name that Chamisa used during the last plebiscite in 2018.
In forming the new party, the main opposition leader and his colleagues dumped the traditional red colour and chose gold and yellow for their regalia.
Norton independent legislator Temba Mliswa congratulated Chamisa and his movement for adopting the yellow colour that he also uses during elections.
“Welcome to the Yellow Army @nelsonchamisa and @CCCZimbabwe. God had already shown us that yellow is the colour. What others do which is good, it’s great that you follow. The Yellow Army is an undefeated army. You have wisdom,” Mliswa said.
He jokingly added: “However, I think I will write to @ZECzim and say that colour is mine as an independent and you should stop using it.🤣”
Former deputy secretary general of the MDC Alliance Jameson Timba backed that yellow colour saying: “We are bold and we are yellow. Choose the New.#RegisterToVoteZW #NgaapindeHakeMukomana.”
Human rights activist Evan Mawarire said: “ZVADIRWA YELLOW! 💛Congratulations to my comrade in arms @nelsonchamisa and the entire team @CCCzimbabwe on the launch of a brand new season and strategy for bringing change to Zimbabwe. #CCC”.
Social media observer group Pachedu, slammed the national broadcaster ZBC for allegedly failing to cover the formation of the new opposition party.
“The regime claims to be implementing media reforms, yet ZBC is not reporting on TV and radio that Chamisa has a new #CCC #yellow party. YellowRevolution @nickmangwana,” Pachedu said.
CCC vice president Tendai Biti woke up on Tuesday with the greeting “Good afternoon fellow citizens !!”
Madam Boss, real name Tarisai Chikocho, a Zimbabwean comedy socialite also woke up in yellow on Tuesday.
“Good morning citizens of Zimbabwe. Have a bright day guys!!! 🇿🇼🌄🌻💛,” she said.

Socialite and entrepreneur Olinda Chapel simply posted herself in a kitchen wearing yellow.
Controversial cleric Passion Java made an attempt to downplay the yellow fever. His skit was met with a sea of criticism.

The sosho went ablaze because we are tired of empty promises from Zanu. A rich country is among poorest countries because of corrupt and tyranny rule. Yellow fever is the way 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Tikatarisa vakadzingwa muchizanu menyu vese varikukanga wire saka tichiti gadzirai life inokupai nhaka isingapere kusvika mafa …remember ZANU yenyu haina pension futi zvopfuura izvo zvamurikudya now
Mapfumo Mupandasekwa I will never vote for someone who connives with other nations to punish his own people in order to force them to vote for him because of his man made suffering.
Tendai Maginah then your belief will ruine the future of the young generation good luck with your ZANU pf but I think munhu wese asvunura zvekuteerera zvaurikutaura izvo ZANU was given enough time to rule but chakabuda hapana dzangova ngano dzaiteererwa 10 years back not anymore
Mapfumo Mupandasekwa speak for yourself dear,usati munhu wese,what your party and it’s friends are doing is like you tie someone’s legs and hands then you expect them to run,they can’t.
Tendai Maginah ZANU tried and tested haina future simple vanamai vedu vaiida havachavhoti now young generation ndiyo inechimuti ZANU must go for the good of everyone iwewe kana uchidya nayo don’t justify kuti yakanaka simple!!!!
Mapfumo Mupandasekwa Iwewe idya ne party yako inini ndodyawo neyangu handiti ndiyo democracy here wangu,ZANU doesn’t discriminate anyone we love the young and the old.
Tendai Maginah its not about eating its about doing what’s best for munhu wese just like what other governments are doing to their citizens but if you are selfish go ahead but will tell
Mapfumo Mupandasekwa I thought kuti kudya was a metaphor ,ok all I meant was be with the party of your choice and I will be with the the party of my choice ,we all have the democratic right to do so.Some citizens are Zanu supporters and some are CCC,Mdc and and all opposition parties supporters,you are coming across as if your party is everyone’s choice,it’s not ndicho chokwadi ichocho.
Tendai Maginah thats a good point only mature people can understand kuti the country doesn’t revolve around wat u want munhu wese has his choice
