In a scathing denouncement, Zimbabwean opposition leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa has unleashed a torrent of criticism against President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ruling Zanu PF party, accusing them of turning a blind eye to corruption, fraud, and nepotism that pervade the country’s political landscape.
“It’s rottenness everywhere,” Chamisa proclaimed in a statement that reverberated across the nation, highlighting the pervasive culture of corruption that has plagued Zimbabwean society for years.
Drawing a parallel between governance and the putrefaction of a fish starting from its head, Chamisa’s words painted a grim picture of the state of affairs in the country.
Subsequently, a shadowy figure, described as an ‘impositor,’ acting as a proxy for the aspiring politician, petitioned for the removal of the winning candidate in a move shrouded in intrigue.
The response from both the Electoral Commission and Parliament to the impostor’s letter, resulting in the disqualification of legitimate candidates from contesting, cast a dark shadow over the electoral process.
The culmination of these events saw the aspiring politician, alleged by Chamisa to be a “political conman,” usurp a parliamentary seat uncontested, emblematic of the deep-seated corruption and manipulation that Chamisa vociferously condemned.
Chamisa’s rallying cry for an end to this “rottenness” struck a chord with many Zimbabweans disillusioned by the persistent malfeasance that has marred the country’s governance and eroded public trust in the political establishment.
The call to action resonated not only with his supporters but also with citizens across the political spectrum who yearn for transparency, accountability, and integrity in their leaders.
The implications of Chamisa’s statement reverberate far beyond the confines of partisan politics.
They underscore the urgent need for systemic reforms that would safeguard democratic principles, uphold the rule of law, and combat the scourge of corruption that threatens to undermine Zimbabwe’s socio-political fabric.

IT’S ROTTENNESS EVERYWHERE..
The extent of rottenness and corruption stinks to the high heavens. As they say, a fish rots from the head. An aspiring political candidate is implicated in a transaction involving procurement of election materials by the Electoral ‘Omission’ together with a well known ally of the incumbent. The candidate loses the election. An impositor who is their proxy and sidekick recalls the winning candidate in the aspiring politician/ conman’s constituency. The Electoral ‘Omission’ and Parliament both act on the impostor’s letter and bar the legitimate candidates from contesting. The political conman snatches the seat uncontested. This rottenness must be ended! Good day family!
