Hwende tastes toxicity in CCC

Main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Secretary General Chalton Hwende has announced that he will be ending his countryside tours meant to mobilise supporters ahead of 2023 harmonised elections because he “noticed the negative comments from our CCC citizens”.

Writing on his Twitter handle, Hwende who is a legislator for Kuwadzana East said the toxic comments had a negative impact on his mental health and family.

He posted a video of himself addressing a small gathering of CCC supporters in Mhondoro and captioned it:

“Yesterday (Saturday) I addressed a ward meeting of CCC volunteers in Mhondoro. We prefer smaller meetings to counter victimization. This is probably my last meeting. I have noticed the negative comments from our CCC citizens on Twitter whenever I go on Mgwazo in Mhondoro.”

He further stated: “I have also considered the stress and anguish which most of the comments cause to my teenage kids. The reason I agreed to help in Mhondoro was to assist in growing the rural vote. I did 38 weekend meetings this year, funding myself and abandoning my work at my logistics company.”
