CCC Lawmakers Visit Mnangagwa’s Farm, Endorse His ‘2030 Agenda’ for Power Extension

In a move that has shocked many, CCC opposition MPs made a pilgrimage to President Mnangagwa’s farm in Kwekwe on Sunday.

The visit was not just a tour but a political statement, as these MPs openly supported Mnangagwa’s bid to extend his presidency to 2030.

Leading this controversial delegation was Sengezo Tshabangu, self-proclaimed CCC interim secretary general, alongside several notable opposition figures.

During the event, Tshabangu publicly backed Mnangagwa’s plan to extend his term, suggesting it would be for the good of Zimbabwe.

The MPs chanted Zanu PF slogans, an act considered by many as a betrayal of their opposition mandate.

This event has been labeled “Resolution #1”, pointing towards a push to amend the constitution to delay elections from 2028 to 2030.

Parliament described the tour as a display of political maturity, though critics see it as a capitulation to Zanu PF’s agenda.

Former CCC MP Fadzayi Mahere lambasted the gathering, calling it a “crime scene” and a “mockery of democracy.”

Mahere took to social media to express her dismay, highlighting the waste of taxpayer money and the erosion of democratic principles.

She accused the participants of being in Mnangagwa’s “pocket,” a sentiment echoed by many in the opposition.

The farm visit, initially promoted as a familiarization tour, turned into a political rally, endorsing Mnangagwa’s extended tenure.

Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, known for his opposition to this agenda, was notably absent from the event.

Tshabangu defended the visit, framing it as a step towards national unity in a politically divided nation.

He stressed the need for unity, despite the divisive nature of the event in the eyes of many opposition supporters.

Self-exiled former minister Saviour Kasukuwere dismissed the gathering as “rubbish,” calling for a public referendum to counter this move.

Kasukuwere urged Zimbabweans to unite against what he described as “desperate acts of criminals” within the political elite.

He emphasized the readiness of opposition forces to challenge this “satanic arrangement” before the end of 2025.

Opposition activist Job Sikhala condemned the MPs who attended, calling them enemies of the people for aligning with the oppressor.

His strong words reflect the deep divisions within the opposition regarding this political maneuver.

This incident has sparked a significant debate about the role and integrity of opposition politics in Zimbabwe.

The CCC’s internal strife and this public show of support for Mnangagwa’s agenda have left many questioning the future of opposition in the country.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, this event may well be remembered as a turning point, for better or worse.
