Let me start off by saying that I am all for embracing creativity, innovation, and expressing oneself, especially when it comes to political parties.

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.
