Opposition leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa delivered a powerful critique of what he termed “stomach politicians,” asserting that their self-serving nature is hindering the people’s struggle for change in Zimbabwe.

His remarks came during a tombstone unveiling ceremony in honour of the late Chomunorwa Chamisa in Chiwara, Gutu, on Saturday.

Chamisa emphasized the urgency of political integrity, stating, “We are not in politics for money. We are principled.”

His comments come amid growing frustrations with leaders who prioritize personal gain over the welfare of the nation.

“I am glad stomach politicians have been exposed,” he declared, calling for a renewed commitment to the principles of genuine leadership.

The opposition leader expressed optimism about the future, reassuring supporters that “Change happens at God’s time and it is coming. We are starting afresh, moving forward. There is no going back.”

This message resonated with many attendees, who are eager for a shift away from the status quo.

Chamisa also addressed the broader societal impacts of the ongoing economic crisis, noting, “People are suffering out there, even marriages have been affected by the crisis. Couples are no longer enjoying their marriages. It’s tough out there but we are fixing it.” His remarks highlight the pervasive effects of economic hardship on everyday life in Zimbabwe.

By calling out “stomach politicians” and reinforcing his commitment to principled leadership, Chamisa is positioning himself as a voice for change in a challenging political landscape.

His vision for a brighter future seeks to inspire hope among Zimbabweans who yearn for a better life and renewed political integrity.
