Zanu-PF politician and political analyst Acie Lumumba has said that Nelson Chamisa was set up to fail by Tendai Biti when he went to the United Kingdom.
Chamisa’s interview on BBC’s HardTalk has been a talking point over the past week. In a Facebook Live broadcast, Lumumba said Chamisa should have sought advice from Zimbabweans in the United Kingdom such as Alex Magaisa. He says Biti is trying to capitalise on Chamisa’s weaknesses so that he can takeover. Said Lumumba:
…Nelson Chamisa should have taken advice. But the trouble is Nelson Chamisa is being advised by Tendai Biti. Don’t blame Nelson Chamisa blame Tendai Biti. Tendai Biti is walking Nelson Chamisa down the garden. You know what that saying means? It means Tendai Biti knows what Nelson Chamisa’s weakness is. So he is taking advantage of Nelson Chamisa’s weakness so that he falls and Biti takes over because Biti is the guy with all the facts, all the big brains. Nelson Chamisa is the star. So what’s really happening is simple, Biti is ill advising Chamisa. How do you go to the United Kingdom and not call Alex Magaisa? If you sat down for ten minutes with Alex Magaisa he would have given you a heads up.
I don’t blame my brother Tendai because when Tsvangirai defeated Mugabe and Abasanjo called Tsvangirai to state house to ask him what he would do with “This man” pointing at Mugabe’s portrait he Tsvangirai took Tendai Biti with him why I will tell you the reasons Morgan knew Tendai had guts and had brains not to be duped. Walking into state house when Mugabe was in power was like walking into a lions den only a fearless man would do that Morgan did not have the guts and he called on Biti whom he relied on. NOW CHAMISA was closer to Morgan because he is a sooth seer who got into Morgan’s wool by my pretending to see visions if he was like Daniel he would have known he was going to be grilled on hard talk maybe even know what he was going to be asked. In fact it did not need a Daniel to know what he was going to be asked a little reflection on his lies would have alerted what he was going to be asked by that Hard Brit. And he would have nailed it but my own analysis is that Chamisa has a Utopian mind his fantasies become reality I hope people around him will see that because I think If this gets the better side of him when he is President he will do more harm than Mugabe during his tenure. BITI IS MORE CAUTIOUS HE DESERVES TO BE WHERE CHAMISA IS . Chamisa is good as opposition and Mai Chisamba show but I have my reservations of him as our president I can see him prioritising Bullet trains with people fyi g of hunger like Kim jong on missiles when people are eating grass I think Chinoputa tuda Chimufana ichi Imbange dziyakulatya Mufana
um um Mr Jimalo, everyone knows that first things must be first. He simply doesnt talk about hunger in Zim because its too minor an issue for him. Like he always say, the problem was not about the resourses but it WAS about the leaders and now we have one of the good leaders in Chamisa himself. Only that I dont trust Lumumba of Zanu Pf talking about issues in the MDC. In Shona we say, Itsitsi dzeyi tsvimborume kubvisa mwana wemvana dzihwa?
In this case Lumumba could be right though. Bit is behaving like the MDC no 2 when in fact he has his own tiny party. They went together ku States now ku UK etc. If Chamisa hasn’t started asking himself why the miriad question marks then he should and very quick. Has Biti truly given up on leading the MDC???
Remember Biti and Ncube pushed hard for Chamisa to crush Khupe. With Ncube incredibly claiming to have been told MDC succession secrets by Tsvangirai mbune!
Jimalo-THe hard talk is not the food and butter of masses. It does not matter to the suffering masses whether Chamisa did not perform well on hard talk or not. All we want is change and a leveled playing ground. Please leave the MDC supporters alone to worry about your party which has spent $120 million on campaign materials despite the poverty of the masses. God help us and Chamisa should take us to Canaan. People are not interested in political debates but about corruption, political reforms, independent institutions( Judiciary, ZEC, Police, army). Chiefs should be impartial. Direct your efforts in that direction rather looking at Chamisa alone instead of the 120 political parties and Khupe your mole. Enjoy your pay packet as a sellout for 30 pieces of silver. You sold your soul to the devil.

Acie, Please go home to ZANU PF and leave MDC alone! Une chii chaunotipa? FUCK OFF!!
Acie, you are just a gay man who is looking for relevance. Talk about how you party has destroyed the country
I personally feel the hard talk is just like any other political debate where there itnerviewer tries to outsmart the interviewees hence it can not be used as a measure of political support. I wouldn’t want to comment about individuals but only to say politics is a game of numbers and winning the electorate and Chamisa has the support of the masses who by any chance do not even go deeper in analysis on Hard Talk but just seeing him there motivates them.
The journey is almost over Cde
