Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwean journalist and documentary filmmaker, Hopewell Chin\u2019ono has urged the newly-formed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) not to give in to demands by \u201cpower-hungry politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chin\u2019ono speaks amid reports that Mpumelelo Moyo who successfully filed his papers to contest for Bulawayo Ward 26 councillor post that was left vacant when Norman Hlabani was g recalled by the MDC-T is making some demands for him to withdraw from the race.<\/p>\n

There was a double fielding with Norman Hlabani also successfully filing papers to contest.<\/p>\n

The CCC national leadership has tried to resolve the matter and another in Masvingo but candidates are refusing to budge.<\/p>\n

Amid this drama, Chin\u2019ono says CCC leader Nelson Chamisa must stamp his authority to prevent the situation from degenerating into chaos. Pindula News presents Chin\u2019ono\u2019s message:<\/p>\n

Citizens Coalition for Change @CCCZimbabwe should NEVER be blackmailed by power-hungry politicians, NEVER! A political party has ONE leader at a time, and what he says is FINAL! We are in a struggle not democracy! Once you allow one person to disrespect you, you open floodgates.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an exiled Political Science Professor, Jonathan Moyo, who is a former minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services does not agree with Chin\u2019ono. Moyo responded to Chin\u2019ono\u2019s message:<\/p>\n

My young brother Hopewell, I hope you will reflect on the meaning implications of your claim that, \u201ca political party has ONE leader at a time, and what he says is final\u201d. Your claim is true only if you mean a one-man based, primitive, undemocratic and sexist political party!<\/p>\n

The CCC party had reportedly agreed to field members who were recalled to participate in the March 26 by-elections.<\/p>\n

Some observers, however, have said the national leaders who authorised the participation of more than one candidate should be the ones facing the consequences.<\/p>\n

CCC drew its leaders from MDC, the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP formed by Tendai Biti), and MDC-N (led by Welshman Ncube) and the double fielding of candidates has been viewed as evidence of differences in the party\u2019s top echelons.<\/p>\n
