Leader of Zimbabwe’s opposition party CCC, Nelson Chamisa is facing criticism from some of his followers who believe he should be taking more action than merely quoting Bible verses and sharing motivational messages during the ongoing Zimbabwean crisis.
As Zimbabweans eagerly discuss President Mnangagwa’s controversial new cabinet appointments, Nelson Chamisa chose to post a motivational message with his familiar mantra, “God is in it,” in an attempt to reassure his supporters.
Taking to his official X account, he wrote:
“DON’T DESPAIR ZIMBABWE🇿🇼 FOCUS!! Cheer up! Freedom doesn’t come easy but is coming. Celebrations loading… Some will ask how and when but it will happen sooner than ever imaginable. Say a prayer for our beloved country. We serve a Mighty and Living God! #Godisinit Blessed Tuesday.”
However, the post did not go down well with some of his supporters. CCC supporters voiced their frustration with Nelson Chamisa, for his consistent posting of motivational messages and Bible verses on X (formerly Twitter), instead of providing guidance to his supporters following President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s announcement of a new cabinet.
Many of his supporters called on him to take concrete action and asserted that they were tired of his Bible verses and motivational messages, especially during such a critical time in Zimbabwe’s political landscape.

Mnangagwa is aggressively consolidating power, while we are busy with poetry; rhythm, and rhyme. It hasn’t worked before.
People need guidance, direction, plans
@dean_plessis;
When though Mr. President? When is this freedom coming you speak of with such regularity? We have spoken about this for a long time, and absolutely nothing is happening. I believe there is a big difference between encouraging words and false hope.🥺
