Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has been keeping his rivals guessing about the launch of a new political party while reentering the political arena with a call for mediation between himself and President Emmerson Mnangagwa by the Southern African Development Community (SADC). This move is aimed at addressing the political polarization in Zimbabwe.
During his address at the funeral of Petronella Mukwende, the mother-in-law of Patrick Cheza, who was the losing candidate in the Chirumhanzu South constituency in the 2023 elections, Chamisa stressed the importance of unity. He urged Zimbabweans to work together and highlighted his efforts to engage SADC in mediating the impasse with President Mnangagwa.
Mukwende was a respected figure in her community known for her leadership, church elder role, social work, and citizen mobilization. Her passing has left behind several grandchildren, most of whom are residing in the diaspora.
Chamisa expressed concern about Zimbabweans seeking better economic opportunities abroad instead of contributing to the development of their homeland. He pointed out the challenges facing the economy and the impact it has on every citizen. Chamisa emphasized the need for Zimbabweans to return home and actively participate in the country’s progress.
Highlighting the potential and resilience of Zimbabwe and its people, Chamisa spoke proudly about the country’s beauty and the kindness of its citizens. He encouraged Zimbabweans to embrace their country and work towards its prosperity.
Chamisa’s appearance at the funeral marked a rare public outing since his departure from the opposition party CCC. Amid speculation about his plans to launch a new political formation, Chamisa was accompanied by his close associates, including Amos Chibaya and Masvingo City Mayor Alec Tabe.
