In a stirring statement on Saturday, opposition leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa predicted the imminent collapse of the Zanu PF regime, calling on Zimbabweans to remain hopeful amidst ongoing challenges.

Chamisa’s remarks come as political and economic pressures mount on President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.

Addressing the nation, Chamisa acknowledged the severe trials many Zimbabweans are facing.

He said, “Fellow Zimbabweans, Many of us are facing incredible challenges, innumerable obstacles and unmerited persecution, trials and tribulations. Nothing lasts forever.”

His words underscore a belief that the current difficulties are temporary and that better days are ahead.

Chamisa encouraged resilience and faith, invoking a message of hope and divine intervention.

He emphasized that “Prayer works. God is able.” This sentiment aligns with his broader message of enduring faith and perseverance through adversity.

Quoting from the Bible, Chamisa reminded his followers of the spiritual benefits of enduring hardship, stating, “Faith without works is dead. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.”

He added, “And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4.”

Chamisa’s statement also reflects a broader strategy of mobilizing support through religious and motivational rhetoric, aiming to inspire hope and unity among his supporters.

He concluded with a message of solidarity and blessings, saying, “Family, Sabbath blessings to you all. #Remember #Godisinit.”

As Zimbabwe continues to grapple with political instability and economic hardship, Chamisa’s declaration of an imminent regime change represents a bold assertion of his belief in the eventual downfall of Mnangagwa’s government.
