In the video, Gambakwe is delivering a detailed political update and announcement regarding the opposition landscape in Zimbabwe. He expresses disappointment with current political movements, describing them as weak, ineffective, and lacking leadership and structure. He specifically critiques figures like Nelson Chamisa and Job Scala for their movements failing to make a significant impact and lacking proper organization such as youth or women’s leagues.
Gambakwe states clearly that he does not support political movements as a viable way forward, emphasizing that no country is effectively led by a movement. Instead, he advocates for the formation of a proper political party with strong structures, funding, and leadership capable of contesting elections seriously.
He announces that by December 2025, they plan to have a formal political party ready to contest elections, with a national people’s convention and leadership elections by January 2026. This party, initially referred to as “M31,” will be built behind the scenes but will be publicly launched by the end of the year. Gambakwe pledges to facilitate this process and stresses the need for a strong opposition party to challenge the ruling ZANU-PF, which he describes as currently weak but benefiting from the disorganization of the opposition.
He also highlights the necessity of having a political party that is present and active daily, with proper offices, systems, and provincial structures, unlike the current situation where opposition parties only appear around election times and lack grassroots presence.
In summary, Gambakwe’s message is a call to move away from fragmented political movements and instead build a unified, structured, and powerful political party to effectively contest Zimbabwe’s upcoming elections, particularly the 2028 elections
