Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa on Friday welcomed Thokozani Khupe saying the opposition party wanted to work with everyone to unseat Zanu PF.
Chamisa told cheering party supporters during a rally at Madlambudzi business centre in Bulilima West, Matabeleland South that his party did not discriminate against anyone.
“I know that people complain that Khupe caused a lot of problems for us but we say, Khupe come; and everybody else. The difference between CCC and Zanu PF is that CCC represents the future and Zanu PF the past,” Chamisa said.
Khupe, a former Deputy Prime minister under the unity government, attended the rally.
She has been blamed for causing the recall of former MDC Alliance councilors and legislators when she was the acting president of the MDC T before Douglas Mwonzora snatched the party from her.
Some CCC party members including Khuphe and the Bulawayo provincial executive have openly said they were not willing to work with Khupe after she threw her weight behind Chamisa.
Khupe has however been campaigning for Chamisa, and holding voter registration awareness campaigns in Bulawayo and rural Matabeleland despite murmurs of discontent.
“Zanu PF is a minority. The majority are the citizens. Why would you continue to vote for a party that has made you suffer since 1980? They stole the votes from Father Zimbabwe Joshua Nkomo in 1980…and all those other years and they want to come back again in 2023 to steal the votes.
“This time it will not happen,” said Chamisa.
“CCC is a small baby and only 3 months old but fighting a big old man and we managed to beat him in the recent elections.”
Chamisa’s CCC won 19 of the 28 contested parliamentary seats in the March 26 by-elections, while Zanu PF got the remainder and Mwonzora zero. NewsDay
If they give her leadership post i will vote for ZANU PF..She was at the forefront destroying MDC Alliance now you take her back??
Never let the same snake bite you twice
Ernest Marwa Davarah you are free to do so!
You won’t be missed!!
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka that is if i ever mentioned about anyone missing me… Politics is all about numbers and every person’s vote matters
Hate her alone,dont invite us.You forgave Mugabe ,Mujuru who who killed people of Marange because of diamond and stole almost everything in this country….what has Khupe done to you ? Did she steal any of your goats or your wife?
Ernest Marwa Davarah you threatened to vote for Zanupf if Khuphe is given a senior post!
Khupe was never given a post b4!
She was actually elected to the post she was holding!
Get that to your prejudicial head!!
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka who invited you to hate her??I don’t even remember inviting you on my comment…
By the way who told you that I forgave all the people you mentioned?? Don’t come and make your assumptions my reality….
Use that energy on making your own comment not to try and convince me with your 2 cents reasoning capacity….
If you have forgiven those people don’t assume that i have also forgiven them
Ernest Marwa Davarah did I mention the word forgiven in my comment!.
You know what, you are a mumbling moron!
Go & vote for Zanupf!!
Mduduzi KaNgquzu Gasomnyama tell them they are tribalist
Christopher Sibanda Don’t include tribalism when its not needed…So do you think a sensible person can support a corrupt politician because of tribe??
I’m not delusional…Nomatter your tribe if you are wrong you’re wrong…. We have a lot of good politicians from Matebeleland and we cherish them…
We support policies and not tribes…Munangagwa is evil and nothing else I don’t care about his tribe
Ernest Marwa Davarah biti also separate will tsvangirai but when he came back no one said anything also job sikhala did the same
Chamisa know s what he is doing
Mduduzi KaNgquzu Gasomnyama Iwe Khupe inyoka iwe.Never give her power
Bt ngaauye kuruzhinji kwatiri ana penga udzoke hativatrust
Why why why…😥😥😥
Evans Zengeni her one vote is important
Raymond Chinoda that’s if she doesn’t destroy AGAIN and we end up having nowhere to vote at all…
Evans ZengeniEvans Zengeni I don’t see her getting any senior position
Raymond Chinoda if that’s the case. But already being welcomed on stage doesn’t it mean something?
Kana ari a card holding supporter all votes are welcome.

Let’s work together citizens #vote CCC Remove Zanu pf is destroy beautiful country Zim
Pathetic
Why wouldn’t he ..he knows he did her wrong.
Shuwa,ngaauye kupovo kumaterraces ukoo,hatimudi padhuze naAdv. NC
Ngavamunyime nyaya
Anomudiniko nhai vakomana kudyiswa here ko vanenge varipo ngavamunyime nyaka
Be careful with these woman Nelson, Morgan made the same mistakes with these woman. Khupe is a sell out and Zanu PF C.I.O
Mombo Johannes how did Tsvangirai make a mistake?
Khupe was voted to the office of vice president during elective conference, !
He was not appointed by Tsvangirai, like Chamisa & Mudzuri!!
What di you say to Biti & Job Sikhala , they also left the party now are back !
Are they also sellouts!!
Now even your own shadow is an C. I. O!!
Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka You have a lot to learn in politics guys. This is the END of CCC, they lack maturity and wisdom. This is how Zanu always crush these so called labour parties, they always fail when they are close to winning. They are like dogs that eat their shit, you cannot bring back someone who deserted you and was a critic then u say they have realised their mistakes and changed
Morgan lost it all when he got married to Elizabeth yet it was time for victory and where is he now?
Nelson needs real advisors on things that can make him victorious come election time not this hogwash.
Mombo Johannes why mentioned 1 person!
If you open your eyes 1st & put the nation 1st than going out creating enemity among citizens like what Zanupf did is not cool!
Nelson would all the votes if he is to ascend to the throne!!
So far in my view, he has shown tolerance!!
Mugabe accused Nkomo in 1980s that he was a sellout!
What happened next was a bloodshed!
He knew a divided country is his for taking!!
Chamisa should never take the root of R. Mugabe, that any1 with a different opinion from yours is a ” sellout ”
Most of opposition supporters were in Zanu pf that is why they can label any1 ” sellout ”
Zimbabwe & Africa remains a dark place to live.
Becarefull of this lady, don’t be so close to and relax.cancer is the poison that used by zanu to kill they opponents
Ishumba yakapfeka dehwe rembudzi uyo
If you give her any leadership position I will give my vote to Zanu Pf in protest.
Those talking of taking their votes to Zanu PF, what if she gets post after your vote?, since CCC is saying no positions, no congress, I forsee instability after elections preventing the cessation of power from ZanuPF.
