Below is the full Speech by Chamisa
We are here because we are only left with little time before we get to the 26 March by-election and the 2023 general election.
They thought they had rigged us. But I told them I have the vision that I was given by Morgan Tsvangirai when he appointed me.
You can capture the leaders but you can never capture the people.
They took Harvest House, they took our MPs, they took the colour red and everything they could. And we let them.
The party that you started has shaken many people. This is the party that will fix our problems.
“Teachers are struggling, yet they are just asking for restoration of salaries to where they were during Mugabe’s time.
But now teachers are being beaten, accused of having been sent by me.
Our economy, transport system, education system is in tatters. The future of our country is in Nelson Chamisa, says Richard Tsvangirai.
Citizens’ Coalition for Change is a new party. This is not rebranding. That is why we now raise the index finger to say that we are number one, and we are one people.
Our war veterans need to be respected.
If you war veterans want to live a good life, look up to Yellow. Many veterans died without enjoying the fruits of their sacrifice. Yet, only a few are benefitting from this country’s riches.
CCC is the next government in Zimbabwe.
CCC means Chimurenga CheZimbabwe Chechina.
I agree with the Third Chimurenga, minus the violence.
When we get into power, there will be no police brutality. There will be no roadblocks. There will be street cameras and there will be digital policing.
We are now at the fourth and last Chimurenga. The citizens’ Chimurenga. Ndipei chinhu ichi. Ndopinda here?
Give me a week at the helm. You will see white people, Chinese people coming to invest in this country.
We will never allow an election that is rigged in Zimbabwe. Never again is 2018 going to be repeated. I will be at the front while you follow. No election will be stolen.
I heard him say in Epworth that what happened in Zambia will not happen in Zimbabwe. Were you not there in Zambia? I am going to lead this country whether you like it or not.

Roadblocks.
Political violence.
Torture of our members.
Unlawful arrests.
No buses.
No Govt funding.
No handouts.
No title deed gimmicks.
Just citizens showing their desire for change. The citizens’ intent is very clear – the people want change in Zimbabwe.”
