CCC Secretary General Under Fire
Sengezo Tshabangu faces backlash from CCC members over unilateral decisions and sidelining party structures.
“It is with a heavy heart that we address you CCC party champions through this media platform updating you on goings-on within the people's party that has sadly been personalized by one individual who unilaterally make decisions that require the collective or party organs as enshrined in the party constitution”
Funding Mismanagement Alleged
CCC members claim Tshabangu failed to account for over ZiG25.3 million in government political party funding.
“As a department we are constitutionally mandated to sit in the National finance committee that oversees or determines the distribution of these funds but that never happened”
Regional Representation Concerns
Tshabangu accused of concentrating senior parliamentary roles among Matabeleland politicians.
“It's not just a mere coincidence that the Leader of Opposition is from MATEBELELAND, the Senate Chief Whip is from MATEBELELAND, the National Assembly Chief Whip is from MATEBELELAND, the Woman's Caucus leader in Parliament is again from MATEBELELAND”
Interim Leadership Calls
CCC members demand immediate appointment of an interim presidium to strengthen party structures.
“Interim Presidium appointments is long overdue. We want to build an institution that will outlive us”
Appointments Without Process
Reports indicate Susan Matsunga and Evans Ndaba appointed without internal democratic process.
“Sources cited in the reports alleged that the appointments were made without an internal democratic process”
Consequence for Tshabangu
Tshabangu faces growing pressure to address leadership and funding concerns within CCC.
The takeaway
Zimbabwe's Citizens Coalition for Change secretary general Sengezo Tshabangu is under fire for unilateral decisions, mishandling political party funding, and regional representation in leadership appointments.
