The CCC leadership is throwing tantrums after self-imposed secretary-general Sengezo Tshabangu fired interim President Prof Welshman Ncube.
This development comes barely a week after the party received its US$1.6 million share of the political parties’ fund from the government.
Reports suggested that Tshabangu, who sprung from oblivion last year to fire legislators from then-Nelson Chamisa-led Citizens Coalition for Change, has wielded his axe and chopped Prof Ncube off.
After Chamisa fled from the “infiltrated and contaminated” party, Prof Ncube became interim President in February. Tshabangu welcomed the development and reminded CCC officials he was still the party’s secretary-general. In June, Prof Ncube said the party should engage Tshabangu as he has been the recognised Leader of the Opposition in Parliament since May.

Last week, Tshabangu received the political party’s funds and decided to elbow out Prof Ncube as CCC President.
CCC Leadership Digs In
Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) spokesperson Willias Madzimure released a statement insisting that Prof Ncube is still the party’s President.
“The party leadership’s attention has been drawn to and is in possession of a legal opinion purportedly authored by Messrs Ncube and Partners at the behest of Sengezo Tshabangu. The leadership of the party has perused this purported opinion and is of the opinion that this is a fake document that could not possibly have been authored by a reputable law firm of the repute of Messrs Ncube and partners.
“The leadership assures the members of the party and the public that the Party leadership is firmly in control of the party and all its organs and that any notion that the leadership is no longer in existence is false, flawed and self-serving propaganda designed to sow despondency among party members.
“The party leadership challenges the authors of the opinion to produce any evidence of whatever description and nature from the period 22 January 2022 to the period of the start of the recalls of elected Party officials which published or indicated that Sengezo Tshabangu was the interim Secretary General of the party during that period or to produce any evidence that he performed at any level any function of the office of Secretary-General during that period.”
