Staunch Nelson Chamisa supporter Madzibaba Veshanduko has rejected a Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE from ZANU-PF.
Madzibaba VeShanduko is a Zimbabwean activist, cleric, and entertainer. His real name is Godfrey Karembera, and he is known for his outspoken criticism of the government and his unwavering loyalty to Nelson Chamisa.
Madzibaba VeShanduko supported the MDC in its various factions. When Chamisa formed the Citizens Coalition for Change, he moved there and even switched his red garments to yellow ones. He was arrested and tortured by the police in 2022.
Following Chamisa’s resignation from the CCC, he also quit the opposition party. Chamisa said the CCC had been hijacked and contaminated by ZANU-PF. He joined Chamisa and changed his yellow garment to a blue one, the colour associated with the new party.
Yesterday, former CCC deputy spokesperson Ostallos Siziba and former organising secretary Amos Chibaya were in Mashonaland Central drumming up support for Nelson Chamisa, who will likely form a new party. Madzibaba VeShanduko attended the meeting and donned a new blue garment, dumping his yellow regalia.
Yesterday, Victor Matiyenga, the businessman giving out cars on behalf of Wicknell Chivayo, threw a sweet offer to Madzibaba VeShanduko. He said:
“Madzibaba VeShanduko muchingopedza kuuploader video renyu muchiita slogan yeZanu, makapfeka full regalia yeZanu, mouya kuzotora mota yenyu plus special allowance. Hanzi neMukuru mune vision yeZimbabwe, but your platform is wrong. Apa muri wekuMasowe futi. Due date 24 [February].”
Madzibaba VeShanduko’s publicist spoke to iHarare, and he revealed that the activist said he would never sell out. Quoting the tweet by Victor on X, Madzibaba VeShanduko said:
“Ndipeiwo simba rekushanda zvangu.”
