Gambakwe, in the referenced live video dated 5 August 2025, is discussing the political situation in Zimbabwe with a focus on the upcoming 2028 elections. He expresses concern about the current leadership under ZANU-PF and the opposition’s lack of effective organization and new ideas. He emphasizes the need for a strong, ordered leadership structure similar to a military organization and proposes aiming for 75% of the vote in 2028.
He criticizes the opposition, particularly former leader Chamisa, for not having a clear plan or strong top-level structure, suggesting that grassroots support alone is no longer sufficient and that a strong, visible leadership at the top is crucial. Gambakwe explains that Chamisa is not forming a new political party because he believes a party is not necessary for Chamisa, who is already popular, but a party is needed for others with less popularity.
Gambakwe shares that his media platform has a large reach and is instrumental in mobilizing support and that his group is in the process of organizing a political movement—M31 Zimbabwe—with transparent candidate sign-ups. He advocates for new leadership, nominating a young candidate named Fazi as a potential new presidential contender and expresses frustration that the youth in Zimbabwe are reluctant to take leadership roles.
He also discusses the broader political environment, highlighting the weaknesses in the opposition and the entrenched power and tired leadership within ZANU-PF, predicting they will be defeated if a strong opposition structure and leadership emerge.
Overall, Gambakwe is making a call for strategic, organized leadership and movement-building in Zimbabwe’s political opposition, moving away from reliance on personality-driven politics and outdated structures, aiming for a major change with new leaders and ideas ahead of the 2028 elections
