Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Sengezo Tshabangu who claims to be the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Secretary General has dismissed the party\u2019s \u2018position\u2019 that he is an impostor pushing the ruling party\u2019s agenda, daring the opposition to take him to court and see if it will win the case.<\/p>\n This comes after Tshabangu wrote to the Speaker of Parliament and Local Governance Minister recalling 15 MPs and 17 councillors saying they had ceased to be members of the CCC.<\/p>\n In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com he alleged those recalled had been imposed by certain individuals in the opposition party and were therefore \u201cillegitimate\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is an internal issue in CCC. Those recalled have done something and I cannot divulge anything at the moment. I will be in a position to explain the reasons very soon. We are citizens and we just want to correct something that was not done properly.<\/p>\n \u201cA product of an illegitimate process becomes illegitimate as well,\u2019\u2019 Tshabangu said.<\/p>\n Quizzed about his appointment as the interim SG in a party that has no existing structures, he responded: \u201cAre you saying CCC has no structures? If so, where is Nelson Chamisa\u2019s \u2018presidential\u2019 post coming from?\u201d<\/p>\n Chamisa dissolved political posts after forming the CCC movement and everyone became a \u2018Change Champion\u2019 of the party.<\/p>\n In the MDC Alliance structures, Charlton Hwende was the secretary general of the party.<\/p>\n Added Tshabangu, \u201cNegotiations had not failed but the internal politics in CCC had to be resolved either way.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf I do not belong to CCC, as they say, l do not care. I am going to the initial principles of our party. If they think I am an infiltrator, they should go to court and see whether they are going to win this case. This time, we are going to play a hardball. My issue is that I only have different views so those leaders will engage me.\u201d<\/p>\n He denied being involved in the double candidates saga during the CCC primaries.<\/p>\n \u201cI never caused any problems. In the structures, \u2018Bereka Mwana\u2019 strategy was not a narrative. We are just correcting that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n However, CCC spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi said Tshabangu is not a member of the CCC.<\/p>\n \u2018\u2019We note the desperation by an impostor who is masquerading as a member of CCC. CCC has clear signatories known to ZEC and have the mandate of the party. These people cannot abuse the name of our leader and the brand of our Party. Following a devastating defeat in the election, ZANU PF has resorted to desperate measures in sponsoring impostors to destabilize the party. #FreshElectionZW #NoToAnother5Years\u2019\u2019 Mkwananzi wrote on X.<\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Anna Chibamu Africa-Press – Zimbabwe.
