Former ZBC presenter Eric Knight has been expelled by the Zanu PF United Kingdom (UK) District following his decision to support Nelson Chamisa’s Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party.
The broadcaster contested the 2013 elections on an MDC-T ticket and lost his bid for the Mbare parliamentary seat to Zanu-PF’s Tendai Savanhu.
He made a stunning political somersault and joined the ruling party in 2018 while in the UK.
In a letter addressed to him by Zanu-PF, dated February 17, the party said Knight was no longer a member following a Facebook post in which he declared his support for the CCC.
“Your attention is drawn to your Facebook post on 15th February 2022. The Zanu PF Party UK District respect your democratic choice, shifting allegiance and loyalty to the CCC as enshrined under Sections 58(1)(2) and (67)(1)(2) of Zimbabwe Constitution 2013,” read the letter which cited Zanu-PF political commissar Mike Bimha.
“Please be advised that in accordance with the Zanu PF Party Constitution Article 10, Section 80(5) any member who willingly joins and/ or support another political party has automatically expelled himself or herself from the party and ceases forthwith to be a bona fide member.
“As such your membership to Zanu PF UK District has ceased immediately by operation of law.”
The Zanu-PF decision was reached after Knight posted on Facebook on Tuesday urging his followers to vote for CCC in the upcoming 2023 elections.
“Advocate General Eric Knight says…Dzimwe dzangove nharo/Okunye sekuyinkani nje.
“The country needs new leadership, new ideas, a new team with a new mindset. Even your own children know that!
“I was one of the people who insisted you be given a chance to prove yourselves. We have given you a chance to show how you would be different to Igwe’s dispensation. (RIP Igwe) but the difference is the same, and you can’t complain.
“You said all the good things when you came but those were just songs. Your best is just not good enough. Why should you be voted for again?” Knight asked.
“Okay, can you honestly tell me which ministry you can boldly say you are proud of as a government…
Ministry of Health? Ministry of Education? Ministry of Energy?
Ministry of Transport? Ministry of Finance? Ministry of Local Government & Housing? Ministry of Mines?
Ministry of Industry & Commerce?
Ministry of Home Affairs?
Ministry of Information & Broadcasting Services? Ministry of Sports?
I randomly picked Just a few.. can I go on!? Ityai Mwari Vadhara imi/Zvakwana. It’s about citizens! 2023 All citizens vote wisely!” Knight wrote. Nehanda Radio
He is a CIO this one. We don’t need him any where close to CCC
Come too ccc you are welcome
Anotsvaka kune chibhanzi chete chete uyu.

Benjani Chireka he has a right to support waanoda
A political cheat; a political turncoat; sikukuviri
Had he become ZPF – what a flip flopper
Eric has his wants and donuts so leave home to support CCC
gone are the days Erick knight was my favourite
I love this man airways commander Erick knight.
Ngaagare ikoko ku Zanu pf
Flip flopper nxaaa, Gara kuZanu ikoko
Did he apologize😂😂
He has chosen his path…..and a good decisions by ZanuPf UK…..not zvaana Biti who rant lungs out on some free citizens who opt to support Zanu Pf….by decamping them with all sort of hatred speech. We know CCC find some relevance by causing suffering to ordinary citizens.
Emmanuel Mwasangwale you are out of order! How does CCC make citizens suffer? Such primitive propaganda no longer takers amongst the sober but tomfools & fops.
Maurice Hungwe you are out of touch with reality….and you know nothing about business…inongongwavha ngwavha. Street and beer hall politics ndodzenyu imi. Kutopupa furo
Emmanuel Mwasangwale the only reality making sense to patriotic citizens is zanu pf looting, corruption & thievery. Idiots admire a masked pig.
Emmanuel Mwasangwale Uri mupurwa iwewe washaya zvekutaura nyarara
Fidza Fidza Fidza
Emmanuel Mwasangwale …….haundityisi mupurwa
Emmanuel Mwasangwale iwe Satan wemunhu iwe imbwaa ine miswe mitatu shit wako shit
Fidza Fidza Fidza …your problem ..is not mine….kutuka kuita sei you are just another small drop of shit in the ocean.
Emmanuel Mwasangwale for u to point out CCC as causing the suffering of Citizens means u’re drunk. How do you accuse an opposition party which isn’t in power? Dnt stoop that low in trying to cover up the truth that is on the ground of who has caused the problems in our country. Do you need to be reminded that its the ruling party Zanu pf that has lost direction and brought the country to its knees?
Shure kunge shit yenguruwe
Newton Chando Mparuri kkkkkk mapenzi e social media…kupupa furo kudaro. Kurwadziwa chaiko. It’s called freedom of speech

Emmanuel Mwasangwale vele totofa because we are scattered in other people’s countries called all sorts of names because of Zanu Pf
Nyauza Junoir Nengomasha good
Emmanuel Mwasangwale Zanu Pf branch office in a country where supposedly they are sanctioned to the extent Zimbabwe can’t allow it’s citizens the right to have diaspora vote? How ironic? Why can’t those Zanu Pf branch members trek back to Zimbabwe to enjoy Zanu Pf service delivery and budget surpluses?
Mxm this idiot
Ah zvinebasarei
Hameno zvenyu ma CCC mukabvuma nyoka iyo
Ear-waves commander
Hure re politics iri nxa he once join MDC takuyenda kuma elections kwakuchinja kwakujoina Zanu pf nxaaaaa

Hamusati, ZANUpf rulers will have chest pains …🤣🤣
This DJ should just focus on radio presenting! Politics is for the stable in mind. No to opportunists.
Maurice Hungwe ,kkkkkk
But He once being an MDC T member of parliament for Mbare Constituency
EnglishBoy English he contested and lost then rejoined Zanu pf .
Its better to comment on your party and leave it there…we dnt come to ZANU PF platforms to tell them what to do ur leaders are free to say what they want and we support them fully
Don’t be fooled, it’s a trick. He is still a ZANU PF spy.
Reuben Kisstopher l agree
Reuben Kisstopher correct. They want to use him to infiltrate CCC.
No this one can be just supporter not member of Ccc as citizen
Was it necessary to use the word “expelled” when someone decided to direct his support elsewhere?
Never allow him near CCC
Eric Knight anongoda position chete mdhara uyu. Kana ku #CCC takumuziva haalume, he will be just a card carrying ordinary member savana madam Khupe
That’s the right choice ,even Robert Gabriel Mugabe has reached that position at last . Saka ngaapinde hake mukomana.
Yaa vane mavato can be card carrying supporters only
Leave the Night Rider alone he follows his heart noone can stop him frm.doing what he wants as a zim citizen..
in 2013 he contested and lost to Mr Savanhu of(ZANU PF)in Mbare with an MDC ticket now and he then became ZANU again now he’s with ccc you cannot understand
Prostitute
Eric Knight is another Maridadi. Embrace him with serious care
Bedhopper.
Hatimudi kuCCC. Akakuudzai kuti tinotora marara ndiyani.
He has smelled ☕ elsewhere! Problem is he wl always be a polititute!

Mavato baba ava snake pachayo,tsukukuviri
This guy must go and work with khupe or marry her want coz both of them are a confused pce of shitty
This one is confused.akadyiwa kumbare achimiririra Tsvangirai after that boom ku Uk and tomorrow morning he goes back to ZANU.Dont trust this one Chamisa
Kushanda kwakaita ZBC hazvirewe Kuti ndevenyu imbwa imi
I don’t trust Eric, he might be EDs pony pawn to destroy CCC
Tasa Tobs you can say that again.
He must tell his daughter to reduce mari yemaintenance, 2 000 is a lot of money for bhanditi to pay!
Ndiyo dzungu man, attention seeker this one
For starters, how is it possible that there is a district of Zanu PF within its supposed enemies’ territory. Are sanctions a reality then?
He must just stick to radio DJ politics not in his blood
And we don’t want him there is vacancy in MDC t
He has seen the light lets not discourage him he needs our divine prayers
Don’t even give him a brick to sit on, let him be an ordinary member.
Haasiriye wekumboda kutora mbare via MDC here uyu? Abva ati kuJongwe now akuda kuenda kumayellow??? DK munhu uyu haazive zvaanoda, akutsvaga kurarama.maprinciples ake haasi straight.DK!
Ipfambi iyi
Eric should just join MDC alliance
No room for him in CCC takura manje
If he wants to support CCC then no problem but no post.ngaagare kumashure shure kwedu isusu MaLoyal supporter
NdiNwonzora
We do not need him
You are a true Zimbabwean Eric. I grew up Listening to him on the radio. Way to go Eric way to go

What do these Zanu people want in UK? They ran away from the messy they created in Zimbabwe.
Uyu haana kana basa
Why was he Zanu pf in the first place when he once contested Mbare with an Mdc ticket in 2013
@maDube_ Card carrying member only
@maDube_ As a card carrying member no problem.
He has a right to join anyone who is fighting for freedom.
