Chamisa Unveils ZiG Replacement Plan
By Political Reporter- Nelson Chamisa, the charismatic opposition politician, has unveiled an ambitious economic plan, signalling his political comeback after months in the shadows.
Chamisa, who had stepped down from the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leadership in January due to internal party strife, hinted at his return earlier this week with a bold strategy.
Taking to his X account, Chamisa outlined his vision for Zimbabwe’s economy, emphasising the adoption of a strong local currency akin to the robust Zimbabwe dollar of the 1980s.
He framed his plan as a data-driven approach aimed at improving the lives of ordinary citizens, branding it the “Citizens’ Affairs Plan.”
Chamisa’s return comes as his political rivals, Welshman Ncube and Tendai Biti, struggle amidst internal divisions within the CCC.
Both Ncube and Biti, who had backed a faction led by Sengezo Tshabangu that forced Chamisa out of leadership, are now facing their own challenges.
Tshabangu, who controversially declared himself the CCC secretary-general, has accused Ncube and Biti of clinging to power beyond their mandates, deepening the party’s internal rifts.
In contrast, Chamisa’s resurgence positions him as the enduring figure of hope for millions of Zimbabweans.
He remains the central opposition figure, believed by many to have been unfairly denied the presidency due to rigged elections, and now looks to rekindle his political momentum with a focus on economic transformation.
