Does Nelson Chamisa want Zimbabweans to simply sit back and watch Constitutional Amendment No. 3 being pushed through without resistance? Does he expect people to wait for him to return from America and only then decide when an opposition movement should emerge? I thought Chamisa himself told people to go and form political parties and opposition movements of their choice and to leave him alone. Now that some have done exactly that and are trying, in their own small way, to push back against Constitutional Amendment No. 3, why is he insulting and undermining them? Does he not realise that this strengthens the growing perception that there is some form of alignment between him and the faction pushing Constitutional Amendment No. 3, whose objective is clearly to ensure there is no meaningful resistance? Because what sensible opposition figure attacks people who are standing up against the abuse and violation of the Constitution by a ZANUPF faction? Why would anyone genuinely opposed to authoritarianism ridicule citizens attempting to resist it? At a time when Zimbabwe desperately needs unity against constitutional manipulation, attacking those trying to organise only weakens the broader democratic struggle and benefits the very people pushing these dangerous amendments.
