Prominent Citizens Coalition for Change lawyer Thabani Mpofu has labelled Sengezo Tshabangu as a terrorist.

Taking to X Mpofu said Sengezo is an imposter working with the ruling party, Zanu-PF, to destabilise the opposition.

“CCC will not negotiate with Sengezo” said Mpofu adding that “If he is ZANU, let him continue on his path”.

Thabani said once the MPs have been reinstated, “can people talk to him otherwise no one should negotiate with a terrorist.”

On October 9, 2023, Tshabangu, a former member of MDC-T and PDP, claimed to be the interim secretary general of the CCC and sent letters to the Speaker of Parliament and the Minister of Local Government, recalling 15 CCC MPs and 17 councillors, saying they were no longer members of the party.

“If Tshabangu is CCC and has any demands he must consent to the order sought in the High Court before he can make them.”

CCC continues to deny that Tshabangu was a party member or official.
