CCC Charts New Path: Unity, Discipline, and Economic Focus Emerge from Parliamentary Caucus
– The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) held a pivotal Parliamentary Caucus meeting on May 21, 2025, signaling a renewed commitment to internal cohesion, national development, and strategic engagement. Chaired by Secretary General Senator Sengezo Tshabangu, who also leads the opposition in Parliament, the meeting saw a robust turnout of 44 Members of Parliament and Senators, with 13 tendering valid apologies.
The caucus delved into critical issues, beginning with the welfare of MPs. Leadership pledged to actively engage relevant institutions to improve working conditions, recognizing that a well-supported legislative body is crucial for effective governance. This commitment underscores the party’s dedication to empowering its representatives to fully execute their mandates.
A significant resolution focused on constructive engagement for economic growth. The CCC leadership reiterated its stance on working with the government and other key stakeholders to contribute meaningfully to Zimbabwe’s economic recovery and long-term development. This pragmatic approach highlights a shift towards collaborative solutions for national challenges, moving beyond mere opposition.
Discipline and party loyalty were strongly emphasized, with attendance and active participation in caucus meetings reaffirmed as fundamental duties. The caucus made it clear that persistent defiance of party directives or neglect of responsibilities would face disciplinary action, aligning with the party’s constitution and code of conduct. This signals a concerted effort to enforce internal discipline and ensure unity of purpose within the parliamentary group.
Furthermore, the meeting confirmed the conclusion of all outstanding court cases involving the party. With legal battles behind them, the CCC is now poised to channel its energy into organizational rebuilding, grassroots mobilization, and fostering a broad-based national consensus. This move clears the path for a renewed focus on political strategy and public engagement.
The caucus also resolved to champion a “generational consensus,” aiming to forge a new national vision rooted in unity, responsibility, and shared prosperity. This forward-looking agenda seeks to transcend past divisions and build a more inclusive future for Zimbabwe.
Finally, recognizing the deep-seated institutional decay, the CCC emphasized the urgent need to rebuild governance and service delivery ecosystem with integrity, innovation, and people-centered policies. This commitment to national renewal highlights the party’s ambition to address systemic issues and improve the lives of ordinary citizens.
The meeting concluded with a powerful call for unity, discipline, and strategic clarity. Members were urged to recommit to the party’s vision, advance the politics of consensus, and lead the effort to rebuild the nation from the grassroots up, setting a clear trajectory for the CCC’s parliamentary agenda.
