## **Nelson Chamisa Responds to ZANU-PF Agent Allegations: A Deep Dive into the Gossip**
Former opposition leader **Nelson Chamisa** has turned the spotlight back onto himself amidst swirling rumors accusing him of covert ties with **ZANU-PF**. He decisively labeled these claims as **“profitless gossip,”** urging Zimbabweans to focus on **faith** and positive actions rather than unfounded conspiracy theories.
### **Chamisa’s Candid Confession on Social Media**
In a striking post on **X** (formerly Twitter) dated **June 28, 2025**, Chamisa addressed the bizarre allegations that have dogged his political journey. He humorously noted, “I’m used to being blamed for literally everything and anything… Some gossip that I founded and formed ZANU-PF in 1963… Some gossip that I have rainmaking powers yet I withhold the rains and cause droughts… Yet some gossip that I cause every misfortune that befalls them.”
This witty response emerged from a direct inquiry by a user, **@Terrenc14834103**, who bluntly asked if the rumors about him being a ZANU-PF agent held any truth. Chamisa’s post quickly amassed thousands of views, igniting reactions across the platform.
### **A Call for Focus on Spiritual Matters**
In his viral response, Chamisa championed a shift in priorities for his followers: **“Never waste precious time on profitless gossip. Invest more time in the gospel of salvation — the gospel of Jesus Christ.”** His remarks resonate against the backdrop of ongoing criticism regarding his re-entry into the political arena after his resignation from leading the **Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)** in January 2024.
Chamisa claimed he stepped back because the party had been compromised by ZANU-PF and state institutions.
### **Clarifying His Position: Interviews and Insights**
In a recent interview with **The Standard**, Chamisa clarified:
**“Leaving the CCC is different from leaving the people of Zimbabwe whom I so deeply respect and value. I left the old vehicle only because ZANU-PF had captured and compromised it.”** His nuanced stance highlights the complex dynamics of Zimbabwe’s political landscape.
#### **Challenging the Ruling Party’s Vision**
Moreover, Chamisa didn’t hold back when discussing the ruling party’s ambitious development plan, **“Vision 2030,”** deeming it a **“diversion”** and a **“desperate attempt to avoid the people.”** He criticized it as a strategy designed to create a facade while further diminishing the potential of an already struggling nation.
### **Mixed Reactions from the Public: A Divided Opposition**
However, Chamisa’s return to the political limelight has not been without turbulence. Many Zimbabweans have expressed disappointment, accusing him of inconsistency and confusion within opposition ranks. One user, **@mattiedziva**, took to social media to voice their opinion: **“Chamisa ngaambomira kukonzeresa confusion (Chamisa should stop causing confusion). What new is he bringing except to legitimise a flawed process?”**
Others expressed their disillusionment, with remarks like: **“I’m not going to waste my time ever again going to vote in Zimbabwe. The opposition are a paid lot and they don’t care about the masses.”**
### **A Tumultuous Political Journey**
Nelson Chamisa’s political narrative is fraught with challenges. Following the fragmentation of **MDC** in 2022, he established the **CCC** but later exited, citing state infiltration. His 13-page resignation letter accused ZANU-PF of weaponizing state institutions to **“bastardise and hijack”** the opposition movement.
### **The Path Ahead: Chamisa’s Credibility Struggle**
Despite the tumultuous backdrop of allegations and mixed public sentiment, Chamisa remains one of Zimbabwe’s most recognizable political figures. His latest comments underscore the ongoing battle for credibility—not just against the ruling party, but from within the opposition itself and the disillusioned electorate he once inspired.
In a nation eager for change, how will **Nelson Chamisa** navigate the turbulent waters of Zimbabwean politics? Only time will unveil the next chapter of this captivating political saga.
