By Political Reporter- Controversial CCC Secretary General Sengezo Tshabangu has spoken about his ill health.

Tshabangu rose to prominence after orchestrating the dismissal of several CCC Members of Parliament aligned with the then-party leader Nelson Chamisa. 

This bold move triggered a major internal shake-up within the CCC, intensifying divisions in the opposition party. 

Some have since viewed Tshabangu’s actions as a calculated attempt to undermine Chamisa’s leadership, with accusations that his manoeuvres were influenced by infiltration from Zanu PF.

Tshabangu’s controversial tactics reportedly frustrated Chamisa to step aside, claiming that the party had been compromised.

Tshabangu’s health scare emerged during an international parliamentary business trip, where he fell ill unexpectedly. 

His condition prompted intervention from Zimbabwean authorities and Parliament, sparking widespread concern about his wellbeing.

Breaking his silence on the matter, Tshabangu took to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, expressing his gratitude:

“This note serves to inform the nation and all concerned citizens of Zimbabwe about my gratitude to the Zimbabwean leadership and the Parliament of Zimbabwe for taking care of me during the time of my unwellness. True friends are realized during times of hardships. May God bless you.”

While Tshabangu’s post did not reveal details about his illness, his acknowledgement of the government’s support has raised eyebrows, given Zimbabwe’s polarised political landscape.

Tshabangu remains a polarising figure in Zimbabwean politics, with critics questioning his allegiance and role in the ongoing tensions within the opposition.
