Adv. Dr. Tapiwa Shumba

STAND FIRM AND STAY FOCUSED @nelsonchamisa. NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM YOUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. 1. President @nelsonchamisa is our leader. We follow him fervently and diligently. We believe in his leadership and his leadership approach. We will never be intimidated into thinking otherwise. I am one of the 2 million people who voted for him. I have not changed. In fact I am emboldened by those trying to undermine our own choice of a leader. 2. What I know, the world over, is that a national political leader of @nelsonchamisa's stature, in any country, including ours, has access to important state intelligence information. There are thousands of men and women in state institutions who pass on verified state information to President Nelson Chamisa. They voted for him to start with. Nelson Chamisa has the privilege of knowing who has been planted to derail change. Everytime he has pointed at someone, it has never taken long before the cat comes out of the bag. All those who have access to him know very well that every time he says someone is compromised, he does so with precision. 3. This point is important because while as a responsible leader he cannot gossip with state information, his decisions and political moves are well informed. Many people have been bought and are on payroll to derail change. Its part of a known ZANU-PF strategy. Anyone who wants money to derail change, can get it from ZANU-PF. And, unfortunately many people have cbosen money over truth and change. 4. President @nelsonchamisa will be fought by people. Some will come as friends, some as allies and some as professionals, but the objective is the same. They want to undermine the confidence we have in Nelson Chamisa, they want to sow doubt in our minds. They will say the same thing and keep it on repeat until their agenda replaces the truth. With time those who are not strong will start doubting and then become confused. There is a formula in the madness. Its how propaganda works. Its always packaged as credible, intellectual and professional information. 5. Our leader is fought by all who believe that their political fortunes will see light if he is down. However, the people on the ground remain clear and steadfast. This did not start now. These voices were there when President Nelson Chamisa garnered 2 million votes. They will always be there and still, they will never have a significant impact. 6. My Advice to President @nelsonchamisa is, stay focused. Keep pressing that same button. If your political opponents start celebrating then change is derailed. If they are kicking and screaming everyday then continue on that path. This is a well-oiled dictatorship with lot's of money, lot's of agents, and dynamic strategies. 7. As I have already said, those of us who believe in the leadership of Nelson Chamisa will not be intimidated and scared away from supporting and standing with our leader. This is the little we owe the Agenda 2026. 8. My message to all genuine change loving citizens in Zimbabwe and abroad is, do not be intimidated into silence. Do not be overshadowed by a minority that depends on hired mercenaries to destroy our path to change. Do not be afraid to start afresh. This is the time to build a new genuine movement for change in Zimbabwe. 9. Come out and stand up. Remain firm and determined. Change no come easy. 10. President @nelsonchamisa - never take advice from clearly motivated political opponents, in whatever deceptive shape, form and tone they come. Never! Hakuna nyika yakapfava kudaro.

The New Citizens Movement taking off in style. All passengers on board. Our Captain @nelsonchamisa doing final check list. Hop in now. Won't be easy to jump onto a moving chapwati. Play your part. Ask for directions. Get involved.

The arguments about the CCC constitution and structures are hypocritical to the core and I fully agree with the leadership of @nelsonchamisa on this matter - for the following reasons - 1. Never mind the public truth that, to contest elections, CCC had to submit a constitution to ZEC and the constitution was submitted by @JMafume, Ian Makone and Ellen Shiriyedenga- the hypocrisy is that we are all crying that #NOTOED2030 is violating the national constitution, the supreme law of the land, but somehow the same people argue that the CCC constitution was supposed to stop him from hijacking the party using an imposter. Let's stop these lies and work together for common interest. If a constitution can stop ED, then why should @nelsonchamisa do anything about CAB3? 2. If a constitution can do all this that you are saying it should have done for President Nelson Chamisa, why is it not doing it for the people of Zimbabwe. i.e why is the supreme Zimbabwe constitution not stopping #NOTOED2030 from hijacking the whole country this time? 3. You all did not fight in defence of the CCC because you felt it was "Chamisa’s problem". No, it was a violation of the core principles of our constitutional democracy. The parliament passing this Bill and the poor opposition to the Bill is a direct result of Zimbabweans failing and neglecting to defend Nelson Chamisa and the CCC party. It is not Nelson Chamisa who needs CCC, it is the nation that needs multi-party democracy. This was not a matter for Nelson Chamisa alone. We should now learn the lesson of our mistake. 4. We should not accept people in our society who want Nelson Chamisa to fight for them without support. He is our leader but not the Messiah, we ought to support him and fight together. We should never blame him for our own inaction. 5. It is not true that President Nelson Chamisa did nothing about the 2023 election theft and CCC hijack. We all know that -  (a) there was a collective understanding that going to Court would produce the same 2018 Con Court result and therefore futile. (b) President Nelson Chamisa is still frantically fighting the 2023 fraud. As late as May 2026 he has been in constant consultations and engagements with SADC on this matter. He has written to all SADC heads of state on numerous occasions. Evidence of all this is available. (c) he dispatched envoys everywhere in SADC and abroad to pursue the matter of the stolen election riding on the SADC SEOM report. (d) he left the CCC as a sign of discontent with the hijacking of the people's party. i.e he has done and is doing everything a leader should do. 6. What did the other constitutionalists do when the election was stolen and when CCC party was hijacked? What did those in ZANU-PF fighting CAB3 do when this blatant violation happened? What did the war veterans who fought for one man one vote do? What did we do? 7. Where do we even get the moral high-ground to remember that there is a constitution and to demand collective action when at other critical points of blatant constitutional violations we clapped and ululated for the abuser? 8. My point is that we cannot move together on the basis of lies and hypocrisy. We cannot fight CAB3 in isolation to the fraud that took place in 2023 elections. We should reverse that because it was done to enable this new fraud. Why are allowing and choosing frauds? 9. If we want to promote democracy and constitutionalism in our country we cannot be hypocritical and pick and choose moments as we like. We cannot say CAB3 is worse than removing duly elected people’s representatives and denying millions of Zimbabweans a voice in parliament. 10. @nelsonchamisa remains the only genuine uncompromised leader. He has always fought and defended the constitution without picking and choosing moments whether or not they are politically favourable to him. We want genuine constitutionalism. When a violation happens, we should all rise as a nation without choosing.

Dear Citizens The five points below are very important. 1. We the citizens - the supporters and followers of our leader President @nelsonchamisa are very clear and content with the agenda that was outlined by our leader. There are people who peddle a narrow ZANU-PF factional agenda who want to force our President to participate in their narrow agenda. They are demanding from our leader what they are not demanding from their own leader. Their leader is dead silent. They accept the silence of their leader but demand the speech of our leader. 2. Citizens, these people have gone all out to spread a lot of lies and create stories about our President in order to force him to fight their own narrow agenda. Our leader is clear and firm on our agenda 2026. He is no pushover at all. However, he has always been open to engage in any discussion of national interest to address the governance crisis. It does not start today with CAB3, No 3. While our leader is against CAB3 and has always publicly said NOTO2030, we clearly understand that the problem in this country is not CAB3. The bill is just a sympton of the Crisis of Governance that has destroyed Zimbabwe. The fight against the bill should be approached from this understanding and as part of our broad citizen fight not as the solution. Don't be made to believe that this bill alone will answer our citizen problems. Fighting against the Bill alone without fighting against the broad crisis of governance will not yield anything. Those trying to make you believe that it all starts and ends with CAB3 are crooks. We have been here before. Once bitten twice shy. 4. The stolen 2018 and 2023 elections are the same or worse than CAB3; the removal of duly elected people’s representatives (MPs and Councilors) is same or worse than CAB3; the murder and harassment of innocent citizen movement leaders is same or worse than CAB3; the abuse of civil servants is worse or same with CAB3. The take over of the citizen organisation CCC is a serious bastardization of the constitution. Anyone who wants you to focus on CAB3 only and ignore this is a wolve in a sheepskin. Anyone who wants you to believe that an election date is more important than the actual vote you made in 2023 and will make in 2028 that never counts is a crook. They were there when all this was happening and did not defend the constitution. They never said a word. Some of them participated and are responsible for this bastardization of the same constitution. They are not genuinely interested in the rights and freedoms of the citizens. They just want to take political power to continue oppresing us. 5. Citizens, let's be clear about our problem. Our problem is that we are under an oppressive governance crisis created by ZANU-PF. This crisis used to target only opposition citizens but is now affecting even those who used to be safe in ZANU-PF. That's why our position has always been that the solution to this problem is a political settlement that leads to a comprehensive reform agenda agreed to by all Zimbabweans so that the country can have a genuine fresh start. We should not be forced to ignore the real citizen issues by people who only feel the pain of CAB3. They are only tasting suffering now, we have been suffering ever since, under their watch. They must acknowledge our own suffering and work with us for a genuinely free country for all. We are not going to fight to replace one oppressor with another. That's not our fight, sorry. Citizens, is this not simple, clear and fair? Thank you.

Dear Citizens There is a lie that was manufactured by ZANU-PF and its associates among us that has been repeated too many times that it has become true. This lie is that President @nelsonchamisa CCC was hijacked because it did not have structures and a constitution. This is the most stupid lie anyone can tell. 1. To contest elections in Zimbabwe you deposit a constitution with ZEC and CCC did that on 25 January 2022. 2. The political system in Zimbabwe is such that an organisation needs to designate its leaders and structures for specific functions involving state institutions. CCC had duly qppointed and designated leaders and structures for all purposes. That argument is peddled by dishonestly dangerous people and believed by extremely ignorant people.. The state through its institutions and apparatus took over the CCC and handed it over to Tshabangu. Thats what happens in an oppression and that's what happened. A paper called a constitution is not enough to protect you from an oppression. ZANU-PF is an oppression if you didnt know. That is why the constitution cannot stop ZANU-PF from amending it, can't stop ZANU-PF from rigging elections or killing people or harassing women. If you don't understand this, you may as well believe that these submissions we are writing to parliament will be read by someone and have any influence on the process. That's equally just stupid. An oppression does not work like that. It doesn't care, it uses force. We have to use appropriate means to fight ZANU-PF. Not just emails. Thats just lazy and enabling the regime. In fact, by that submission you have actually been consulted. ZANU-PF is ticking boxes, it needs proper engagement not emails. Thank you

Our President @nelsonchamisa remains solid, standing and firm. This transition from the past to the new movement is the most important thing to ever happen. There will be no historical entitlements and chinhu chedu. The response from the ground has been incredible. The foundation is very solid. 2. Our concerns about the Constitutional Amendments cannot be addressed by social media posts only. President Chamisa knows that to challenge an oppression you need a solid movement. This is what he is building. Its a real Chapwati by the look of things. A million members before launch target surpassed in a flash. 3. The response from the grassroots has been emphatic. Only President @nelsonchamisa can build such a gigantic political organisation in Zimbabwe. We all rally behind him because we appreciate his value and importance to our cause. 4. The next phase is the programme of action to address the crisis of governance in all its facets including the constitutional amendments. This will be done in a structured, coordinated and organised manner. 5. Efforts by others are noted and appreciated. We are united in spirit but we have our own organization to pursue the broader citizen agenda. Its now a matter of days and weeks not years or months. Watch the space.

ED 2030 CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT 1. The narrative that we reject the ED2030 because they want to amend the constitution without a referendum is not correct. 2. A referendum is an election. Any election must be preceded by genuine electoral reforms. 3. Any referendum under current circumstances will produce 2023, 2018, 2008 or worse. ZANU-PF will not hold a referendum to allow people to vote freely. A referendum should not be terrorism.
