After signing a condolence book at the Namibian Embassy, Chamisa spoke to journalists and emphasized that he was representing the millions of Zimbabweans who support him.

When asked about his next move after resigning from CCC, which he founded in January 2022, Chamisa stated that once he is ready, he will provide Zimbabweans with a clear direction.
