Chamisa "Sneaks" Into Rural Areas After Alleged Assassination Attempts
CCC leader Nelson Chamisa has resorted to pussyfooting into some rural areas for his personal safety.
This follows several attempts on the former ICT Minister’s life by suspected ZANU PF activists and state agents.
On Wednesday Chamisa unexpectedly showed up in Nhodovari village, in Makuvaza ward 5, Bikita, to attend the burial of party member Langton Musavhaya who had passed away on Monday.
Local CCC leaders who spoke to The Standard said Chamisa had not announced his visit as he might have been blocked by ZANU PF activists. Said a local party leader:
Chamisa’s visits here have of late been violently disrupted by ZANU PF activists and it has necessitated that ways be found to avoid this and allow him to visit us without fearing for his life and without his followers being attacked.

The visit had to be made secret because of what had been happening in the past.
There is no doubt that if the visit had been publicised, ZANU PF would have tried to stop president Chamisa from passing through.
This is one of our many strategies to make sure that victory is certain come 2023, despite various obstacles.
CCC spokesperson Gift Siziba told The Standard that the party will not publicise Chamisa’s itinerary for his safety. He said:
Given the surge in the cases of politically motivated violence against the CCC and clear assassination attempts on the president, there is a need to put in place plans that ensure the safety of the President.
CCC rallies have been marred by ZANU PF violence. We have seen roadblocks being manned by ZANU PF to block our president from passing through.
It is against this background that we have seen it prudent that the itinerary of the principal is accessible only to those that are cleared.
Of course, there are freedoms that everyone should enjoy but those freedoms have been violated on several occasions. We have to have in place measures to ensure that we meet the citizens.
