Self- imposed CCC SG Tshabangu at it again , claims candidate selection process was flawed
By Staff Writer
THE self- imposed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) secretary general; Sengezo Tshabangu now claims that the candidates’ selection process conducted by the party ahead of the polls was marred by corruption.
Tshabangu hit the public space this week after ordering the recall of 15 MPs and 17 councillors.
CCC has since dismissed his claims describing him as an imposter who is not a part and parcel of the movement.
But the defiant ‘imposter’ seems to be on a mission to prove a yet to be seen point.
In another stint Thursday, Tshabangu claimed that the candidates selections process conducted on June 18 by CCC was flawed with top officials manning the Candidate Independent Selection Panel (CISP) being bribed to overturn the results.
“Ostallos and his self-appointed friends put aside the list of democratically elected party candidates as announced by CISP.
“They replaced these popular and legitimate candidates with their girlfriends, family members, and virtually anybody who bid highest price for inclusion to this closely knit group of corrupt and now filthy rich individuals.
“Ostallos and his now filthy rich group of friends should be warned, that we are coming for them. We are determined to restore democracy in the party, with the same vigour we seek to bring about democracy in Zimbabwe and indeed in Africa.”
Tshabangu is a former MDC-T and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) official believed to have signed letters that produced CCC double candidates in the just-ended harmonised polls.
Other sources within the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) alleged that Tshabangu once ‘invaded the labour movement and caused untold mayhem around 2009 when he was still the President of the Zimbabwe Catering and Hotel Workers Union (ZCHWU).
