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.

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.
As the political climate in Zimbabwe intensifies with the approaching elections, it becomes increasingly crucial to reflect on the role of social media in shaping activism within the country. In a nation where freedom of expression has often been curtailed, digital networks have become a powerful tool in mobilizing and raising awareness about critical social justice issues. By examining the impact of social media, we can gain insights into how it has influenced activism and empowered marginalized voices in Zimbabwe.
