CCC engages SADC over Zanu PF abuse of state institutions – Mahere

By Nyashadzashe Ndoro on Aug 19, 2022

Zimbabwe’s main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has engaged the Southern African Development Community (SADC) claiming that there is a crisis in the country which has the potential of disturbing regional peace and security.

CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere told the media on Thursday that the party had engaged SADC over the problems the ruling Zanu-PF party was causing.

The opposition party cited the judiciary as one of the points where the rule of law was being manipulated.

This comes after the arrest and incarceration of CCC MPs Job Sikhala and Godfrey Sithole together with 14 others over “frivolous” charges of inciting public violence.

They have spent more than 60 days at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison with their bail applications continuously being denied.

She also assured the nation that the party had not let down the jailed activists.

“It is important to set the record that Job Sikhala, Godfrey Sithole and all the Nyatsime group are not being let down by the CCC, they are being let down by the system,” Mahere said.

“The system is meant to guarantee them certain rights and those rights are not guaranteed and given by CCC.

“Even if we are to run up and down the streets or they do in certain countries in Africa any manner of demonstration, that is not what releases the citizens.”

She further stated: “We call an end to Zanu-PF’s abuse of state institutions including the police,” she said.

“We call for a complete end to all forms of political violence especially incitement to violence, something Zanu-PF is well known for.

“We appeal to citizens to stand in solidarity with the members of the Nyatsime 16 and their families. Civic society must play their role, the church must play its role.”

Mahere said the international community was seized with the matter.

“The international community must play its role. We have already indicated that we have lobbied SADC and it is seized with the Zimbabwean matter.

“If the crisis is allowed to continue there is a real risk and possibility of regional peace and security will be undermined,” Mahere said.

      Polite Ngwenya hope its not a Trick question but if i was serious, 😂😂😂

      Observe what my rival wants, which in this case is legitimacy

      So i would be more radical starting with parly and council boycott, boycott any elections, what MT did forcing Mbeki to come to zim and a gnu,

      No serious opposition can accept victory where they win and contest it where they lose

      No serious opposition can be part of a govt it claims is corrupt, etc etc,

      Strikes and demos would be the second option,

      Do away with Tweets and bible verses, u think a man lyke Chiwenga cares😂😂😂

      If u are scared or dont wanna go to jail, thats fine too,

      juss stay away from.promising pple things u know u not prepared to die for yrself,

      People maybe including yrself believe they can deliver and its not right that pple be misled by half baked attempt to sit and have coffee with very disinterested african leaders

      But lets not argue lets wait for SADC s respknse, lets in 3 months , and hope fadzayis letter wont be gathering dust in sumones intray in Botswana

      Well thats if she actually writes it😂😂😂

    • Polite Ngwenya

      Patience Rusere u seem to hv ideas,whats stopping u from forming yo party and deliver Zimbabweans from Zanu?

    • Patience Rusere

      Polite Ngwenya Actually i was actually part of these things, but thats another story, 4 another day

      Besides being labelled zpf 😂

      I am not proud of it though, but i guess i chose the easier route, another Zim problem,😂

      But pple must not lie to a suffering populace kana zvaramba, go province to province, asking the people wat they think should be done, like Morgan used to do,

      This Party holds the hope of so many pple and its Sad, coz the answer is not with sadc but my grnadmother in Murewa

    • Polite Ngwenya

      Patience Rusere hw many parties are there in Zimbabwe?When was “this party” formed?Why does itself hold ppl’s hopes?Do u force ppl to hv hope?Again,whats stopping u frm doing that wch u want them to do if it works?

      Macala Suk’oluhle SADC is the first port of call.

    • Macala Suk'oluhle

      Moses Muchengi my question is,”is it the first time for CCC or MDC alliance to engage SADC because Zanupf has been abusing state institutions for far too long and no action has been taken by SADC,AU or UN against Zanupf?

    • Moses Muchengi

      Macala Suk’oluhle that is what they have seen fit to do

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Macala Suk’oluhle
      go a tshwana, China & Russia our new looters & colonizers will use their veto power to block any action against Zimbabwe by UN!!
      Then you hear Zanupf Shiites say they stand Russia yer he/ she can’t speak or understand Russian!!

      Didn’t you not said the same thing back in 2017 towards 2018 elections after ED took over that haaa now Zanu is dead? Didn’t you not said the same back in 2012 towards 2013 elections that Zanu is now desperate? Didn’t you not said the same thing again back in 2007 towards 2008? Should I go back to remind you when you have said these same words 😂😂😂😂

      Didn’t you not said the same things back in 2002 towards 2003 that because they had failed to farm the lands they took now they were going to be beaten by MDC?

      That’s all you know to say yet deep down you know that you are dreaming.

      How can you defeat Zanu in elections when there are no electoral reforms? Go to Nkomo’s grave and he will tell you that Zanu cannot be removed by votes. Go to Sithole’s grave and he full tell you the same. Go to Tsvangirai’s grave and he will tell you the same. Go to Mugabe who also became an opposition that Zanu cannot be removed by votes alone. All these people will tell you that you are day dreaming.

    • Ronald Mapfumo

      Polite Ngwenya CCC are those crazy politicians led by Pastor Chamisa and all their followers like you. You don’t have any plan to remove Zanu. There are no Electoral reforms done yet you are saying you will remove Zanu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • Polite Ngwenya

      Ronald Mapfumo who has the plan?If they dnt hv the plan,hw n why are u losing sleep over it?

    • Ronald Mapfumo

      Polite Ngwenya no one has a plan. There’s no opposition in Zim that has a plan to remove Zanu. They are all clueless.

      For the past 4 years they did nothing to make sure there will be Electoral reforms. Now we are left with months to the elections. That means Zanu will be declared the winner again next year.

      The opposition is busy lying to the people that if we vote in numbers Zanu won’t rig but that’s a fallasy. Only the gullible because of their desperation for change will swallow that lie.

      This all shows there’s no one who is going to o take out Zanu at this mean time

    • Polite Ngwenya

      Ronald Mapfumo so why r u losing slp over ppl who hv no plan,why not leave them mobilise voters in peace if elections dnt work?

    • Ronald Mapfumo

      Polite Ngwenya am I holding a gun to someone’s head that you can say I’m not letting them to do what they are doing in peace? Has Zanu messed up your head that now you can’t distinguish between peaceful means and violent ones 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      So I shouldn’t say something about what’s happening. Is it what you are saying.

    • Polite Ngwenya

      Ronald Mapfumo u r confused,u wrry abt ppl who hv no plan.Go join those of yo like mind and leave those who do not resonate with u.U moan daily about CCC,r they the only ppl n party u know?Zanu must hv shit in yo brain

    • Ronald Mapfumo

      Polite Ngwenya I’m worried about people who are being misled. I’m sure if you see a brother who is being led to by someone to step on a snake you just leave him. That’s being foolishness.

      I must raise the voice and it’s people’s choices to choose to listen. Don’t be people’s mouth peace here. This is Facebook. It’s not your house bro.

    Fadzayi Mahere you’re not wise enough to run the country because of your stupidity. How can you engaged the SADC but when you know that ZANU PF ndiyo SADC yacho? You’re wasting your time to speak against ZANU PF in the continent of Africa. The whole Africa doesn’t love Chamisa because of his stupidity of being a Western puppet.

    • Succ Mukanga

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka if Africa is not against Chamisa why they don’t help him to remove ZANU PF from power? African leaders they only stand with ZANU PF in Zimbabwe, they don’t defended the opposition. They help ZANU PF to rig the elections against Chamisa, and even Tsvangirai knows that Africa was on Mugabe’s side. They never like Tsvangirai even one day.

    • Succ Mukanga

      Scotty Waison OK it’s fine. Let’s wait and see who is going to win the elections between the two. It’s only Zimbabweans who love Chamisa but outside Zimbabwe they don’t love him. Believe it or not but this is true! Africa defended ZANU PF in Zimbabwe. It’s only Zimbabweans who is fooled by America because Zimbabweans have got cheap brain when they see a white people they act like they meet God face to face.
