Nelson Chamisa’s Face as a Logo – A Questionable Choice for CCC

Let me start off by saying that I am all for embracing creativity, innovation, and expressing oneself, especially when it comes to political parties. However, there are certain things that make you question the decision-making process behind some choices. Take, for instance, the case of Nelson Chamisa, who decided to let his own face be used as the logo for his newly formed party, the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). Now, pardon me if I indulge in a bit of mockery, but really, Mr. Chamisa? Your face as a logo? Let’s pause for a moment of contemplation and introspection.

You see, when getting a glimpse of the CCC logo for the first time, I couldn’t help but wonder what went through the minds of those involved in its creation. Did they all sit around a table, scratching their heads, and then someone suddenly exclaimed, “Eureka! I’ve got it! Let’s use Nelson Chamisa’s face as our logo!” I just can’t help but think this decision might have been made after one too many cups of coffee and a few sleepless nights.

ZANU PF’s Double Standards Exposed

It comes as no surprise that the ruling party in Zimbabwe, Zanu PF, is once again demonstrating their hypocritical nature. They have always been quick to judge and shame CCC leader Nelson Chamisa whenever he pleads to South Africa for help, going as far as to label him as unpatriotic. Yet, when it comes to their own actions, they conveniently brush them off as mere solidarity messages. It is time to expose their hypocrisy and hold them accountable for their words and actions.

Hypocrites!!

Zimbabwe’s political scenery has always been marred by accusations, manipulations, and power struggles among its various political parties. One such party, the ruling ZANU PF, has frequently resorted to shame and judgment when its opposition’s leader, Nelson Chamisa , seeks international assistance to address the challenging socio-political situation in the country. This behavior, exhibited by ZANU PF, showcases their hypocritical nature, as they fail to see their own faults and contradictions while pointing fingers at others.

LIMITING LIVE STREAMING OF COURT PROCEEDINGS HINDERS TRANSPARENCY AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

In recent days, the issue of live streaming court proceedings in Zimbabwe has come to the forefront, causing a stir among media organizations and proponents of open justice. I believe Bulawayo High Court’s refusal to grant Asakhe Online permission to live stream the ongoing election petition cases is a clear infringement on the right to access information and the work of media organizations.
