Zimbabweans from all walks of life have commended the Second Republic’s stance in putting a stop to crime in the country despite negative sentiments from the opposition party Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).

The arrest of ZANU PF Central Committee member and former Bulawayo Youth Executive, Kumbulani Mpofu on 24 December 2022, has left citizens praising Government’s policy of ‘no fear or favour’.

A Gweru resident, Tafadzwa Shoko, expressed gratitude in the arrest of Mpofu whilst maintaining that this arrest is a sign that the Second Republic does not tolerate crime.

“I am happy that our Government has remained steadfast in its stance to curb crime and unruly elements such as Mpofu. This arrest is also a confidence booster for us as we go towards elections in 2023,” said the source.

Tinashe Motsi also said this move by Government is an indication that there are no sacred cows.

“I am happy because despite the rank that one can hold, the Second Republic has no sacred cows,” said Motsi.

A source from ZRP Shurugwi has also revealed that Mpofu’s arrest was as a result of a tip off from concerned ZANU PF members who caught wind of Mpofu’s shenanigans.

“We got a tip-off from concerned and well placed ZANU PF officials who indicated that the suspect and six other accomplices were on their way from Ansh Red Mine carrying a loot of 400kgs of gold loaded carbon. We can safely say that this arrest was as a result of a tip-off from members of ZANU PF.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has on countless times warned both Government and Zimbabweans to desist from committing crimes warning that the law enforcement officers will not hesitate to take action.

Furthermore, President Mnangagwa implored the security and law enforcement departments to step up their efforts in order to curb the rampant scourge of crime that has currently gripped the country. Other prominent figures that have since faced punishment include former Minister of Labour and Social Welfare Petronella Kagonye, and former Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Douglas Karoro.

The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)’s Mugwazo program has died a natural death due to tribalism and resource constrains.

Speaking to this publication a source within the CCC revealed that Nelson Chamisa’s procrastination to address the candidates’ selection process has led to the collapse of the Mugwazo project.

‘The program was mostly funded by aspiring candidates, such as Charlton Hwende and Thokozani Khupe but because of Chamisa’s uncertainty on the candidate selection process most of these candidates have withdrawn their participation and funding.

“Khupe has been pushing the Mgwazo project in Matebeleland South and she was making inroads, but due to tribalism being fuelled within the CCC she is being victimised,” said the source.

The source further said failure to account for the Diaspora funds meant for the purchase of Nelson Chamisa’s armoured vehicle, has led to the reluctance by the Diaspora community to release further funding for any projects within the CCC.

“Chamisa failed to unveil the armoured vehicle or to account for the USD120 GoFundMe money that had been donated by the Diaspora community, leading to them halting any financial assistance to  the CCC party and its leadership, until there is accountability. This has led the party to suffer serious resource constraints,” said the source.

Meanwhile the Chamisa continues in his impasse concerning that party’s elective Congress.  This has fomented disagreements in that party leading to deferments and complacency.
