Former Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara has applauded Nelson Chamisa and his Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party for standing against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s tyrannical rule.

Speaking in an interview with Newsroom Afrika, Mutambara said Chamisa has managed to push through several challenges instigated by Mnangagwa.

“The opposition CCC and Chamisa have done very well given what Mnangagwa and his party have thrown in their way. Taking away their party headquarters, Members of Parliament (MPs) and their money,” he said.

Mutambara also condemned the unfair political arena ahead of the 23 August elections.

“The major issue that concerns me is the same old story, unfree and unfair elections. The voters roll is not available; the opposition is having a hard time in holding their rallies,” said Mutambara.
