Ahead of 2023, be wary of Zanu PF intruders. As a pro democracy activist, i have over the years observed how the democratic struggle in Zimbabwe has suffered not only because of the violent nature of Zanu PF but deep infiltration of the opposition.

There are individuals who the nation thought were genuine opposition leaders only for the so called comrades to later expose themselves as Zanu PF agents. At present moment, Douglas Mwonzora and his brigade are working flat out to destroy the country’s major opposition, the MDC Alliance led by Advocate Nelson Chamisa.

With the aid of the state media and Zanu PF, they have labelled themselves as the “major opposition” and are getting funds from the Political Finances Act. But it is quite clear though that this is a bogus opposition which is simply pushing the agenda of Zanu PF.

As we brace for the 2023 elections, there is need to be on the lookout for Zanu PF intruders both within the opposition and civil society. I

have been moved to write this letter following a story published on the ZimEye website recently on December 30, 2021.

The story exposed how Zanu PF has recruited proxies within the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition and is working to weaken the Coalition. These sad developments at Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition shows the extent to which Zanu PF is desperate to infiltrate and destroy genuine movements ahead of the 2023 elections.

Zanu PF agents including George Charamba continue to work hard to recruit agents within the civil society as well as to set the agenda and distract the attention of civil society actors.

Knowingly or unkowingly as was the case durung the days of the late great Morgan Tsvangirai we have “activists” pushing the agenda of Zanu PF. Zanu PF has pinpointed great activists and pumped money to ensure the downfall of these pro democracy fighters.

The onslaught against Peter Mutasa who is vying for the post of Chairperson of Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition speaks volumes. Believe it or not, there are actors within civil society benefitting from this campaign against Peter.

Money continues to exchange hands and Zanu PF knows fully well they stand to benefit from the downfall of Peter- a weakened and controllable Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition .

Sooner or later, it will be time to name and shame the Zanu PF agents within civil society who continue to push false narratives aimed at advancing the agenda of Zanu PF through creating unnecessary confusion and fights aimed at weakening civil society.

Zanu PF knows fully well the hurdles ahead of them come 2023 and will invest to clear these hurdles.

The opposition and civil society must be on the lookout for Zanu PF agents trying to create confusion and weaken pro democracy movements.

Aluta Continua!!!
