Stop making us fools. We have evidence of you working with Faz and we will expose it,\u201d charged one senior party member in the group.<\/p>\n<p>Another party member said: \u201cMy brother, please don\u2019t count me where people are discussed. Don\u2019t put my name into disrepute, I love this party. Let\u2019s rather discuss ideas and respect each other\u2019s opinions and interests. I am ready to put my body in order to protect president Nelson Chamisa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, in a statement, CCC senior executive Felix Magalela Mafa Sibanda appealed for unity in Bulawayo.<\/p>\n<p>In a communication addressed to the MDC Veterans Association (VAA), Sibanda said unity could see the CCC winning the August 23 elections.<\/p>\n<p>The MDC VAA was formed as an affiliate of the then Morgan Tsvangirai-led MDC-T and also rallied behind the MDC Alliance then led by Chamisa in the 2018 election.<\/p>\n<p>A number of VAA members are members of CCC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs your leadership, I am appealing to all VAA members to support CCC presidential candidate, Chamisa, legislative and council candidates throughout Zimbabwe,\u201d Sibanda, who is the VAA national chairperson, said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission as VAA has been total enjoyment of all human and constitutional rights by all Zimbabweans regardless of one\u2019s station in society. I wish everyone who was nominated and successfully vetted to represent CCC movement in the coming harmonised elections on August 23 success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us support each other where applicable in this decisive plebiscite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CCC is yet to complete its candidate selection process ahead of the June 21 nomination court sitting.<\/p>\n<p>Zanu PF has since completed its primaries and is already on a campaign trail, while candidates are said to be submitting their nomination papers to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.<\/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.
