We know ZANU PF is plotting against us, but we will ambush them and expose them.<\/p>\n<p>From now on we will be doing an underground movement.<\/p>\n<p>We want to be visible everywhere in rural areas, farms, mines and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>The liberation struggle was a citizen project but ZANU PF hijacked it.<\/p>\n<p>Chamisa implored CCC supporters to register to vote in numbers to ensure a big win in the 2023 elections. Said Chamisa:<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go and register to vote and have bumper votes.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to stop baboons from stealing in the fields is by having a bumper harvest.<\/p>\n<p>ZANU PF is shaking, Mnangagwa is afraid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
