List Of CCC MPs at Mnangagwa farm meeting
Bulawayo Mayor David Coltart has released a controversial list of Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Members of Parliament allegedly present at President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Kwekwe farm meeting on Sunday.
Coltart, however, included a disclaimer, acknowledging uncertainty about whether the 15 named MPs had indeed attended the event.
He challenged those listed to clarify their involvement if they did not participate in the meeting, where Sengezo Tshabangu, the recently ousted CCC secretary-general, publicly endorsed Mnangagwa’s continued rule. We are Ignite Media Zimbabwe. We are in the process of verifying this list, as we also do not have images of the listed MPs captured at the Mnangagwa farm meeting.

Chamisa Appointed
Tshabangu was given a platform at the Zanu PF gathering, where he declared his support for Mnangagwa remaining in power indefinitely, provided it reflected the will of the people.
The embattled politician’s remarks have further cemented his image as a Zanu PF ally, drawing sharp criticism from CCC supporters.
Despite being dismissed from the CCC last week, Tshabangu introduced himself at the event as the “leader of the opposition,” a claim that has added fuel to the political turmoil engulfing the opposition party. This is an Ignite Media Zimbabwe news production. Tshabangu’s dismissal came after the High Court reversed his controversial reshuffle of parliamentary roles, which was widely seen as an attempt to sideline allies of CCC founder Nelson Chamisa.
Welshman Ncube, a leader of one of the CCC factions, later suspended Tshabangu pending a disciplinary hearing.
These developments are the latest in a series of internal conflicts that have plagued the CCC.
The party’s divisions have been escalating since last year when Nelson Chamisa cited sabotage and infiltration as reasons for stepping away from leadership.
Tshabangu has been accused of playing a key role in undermining Chamisa’s leadership by alienating his allies and deepening the fractures within the party.
The fallout from Tshabangu’s participation in the Zanu PF event, coupled with his endorsement of Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 agenda, underscores the fragile state of the CCC and its challenges in presenting a united front against Zanu PF dominance.
