The illegitimate leader of an illegitimate party


The Gweru illegal midnight congress was held after Nelson Chamisa dribbled past a High Court order, by lodging a last-minute appeal. It was expected, as always,  that Nelson Chamisa would hold the sham Congress.

What the ordinary Zimbabwean is seeing in Nelson Chamisa is a person who not only defies the courts of the land, but a leader who likes a thief has held both the nominations process and the Congress in the darkness of the night.

It is obvious that by cheating his way to the presidency of his own unknown party, a party without a constitution and declaring himself President, he has taken his own illegitimacy to the next level. The level of illegitimacy which Nelson Chamisa has propelled himself has reached a comical, if not childish level.


Politicians like those in MDC forget that they are begging the people to enter government for five years. Politicians will temporarily form the third arm of government(legislature), while as the judiciary and executive are the permanent arms. There is a complete disrespect for both the government and the State by MDC Alliance.

Governments are elected every five years, while as the appointment to State Institutions including the Judiciary is for up to 65 years. These civil servants in the Executive and Judiciary are the permanent face of Government. Civil servants represent the State and ensure continuity of govern functions. The government can run without the Legislature or your local politicians, but it can not function without civil servants.

Nelson Chamisa and company have chosen to ignore the above fact. The technocrats, securocrats and bureaucrats that man State institutions are the gatekeepers. It is these State institutions that the opposition has continued to disrespect and insult. Disrespecting state institutions is a sure sign of illegitimacy and it is illegal too.

I have two questions for Nelson Chamisa. Can you lead a party without the support of the common people, without the support of the civil service and the support of your own party grassroots membership?

Can unelected leader without a party become a legitimate President of the Republic of Zimbabwe?


Zimbabweans I rest my case!!!
