In Zimbabwe, politics often takes unexpected turns, and the recent actions of activist Sengezo Tshabangu have caused confusion and controversy. This story centers on Mabvuku-Tafara legislator Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi and how things changed for him after Tshabangu’s sudden decisions.

At first, it seemed that Kufahakutizwi was not part of Tshabangu’s plans to recall opposition MPs. Tshabangu himself confirmed this both inside and outside of court. Things appeared calm for Kufahakutizwi, especially since the High Court’s recent ruling on by-elections did not disqualify him. It seemed he would continue with his political duties as usual. But things soon took a surprising turn.

Even though Kufahakutizwi was not on the recall list, he went to court seeking confirmation that he could take part in the by-elections. It seemed like a simple request, but Tshabangu did something that no one saw coming: he opposed Kufahakutizwi’s court bid. This sudden change of heart left many people confused. Why would Tshabangu now oppose someone he had previously not included in the recall list?

People close to Tshabangu, including former MP Albert Mhlanga and activist Mbuso Siso, had some ideas about what was going on. They told the media that Tshabangu might have been influenced by powerful people in Harare. These people, who they called ‘political hyenas,’ might include members of Zanu PF and state security agents. According to these sources, these forces convinced Tshabangu to widen his attacks. Instead of just focusing on some people in Bulawayo, he was pushed to target more individuals, like Kufahakutizwi, to cause greater damage to the opposition party CCC.

This situation has raised many questions about what is really happening behind the scenes in Zimbabwean politics. Was Tshabangu acting on his own, or was he being used by more powerful forces in Harare? The fact that Kufahakutizwi’s name was suddenly added to Tshabangu’s list, and that Tshabangu is now opposing Kufahakutizwi’s court request, makes people wonder if there is a larger plan at play. Could this be part of a bigger strategy to weaken the opposition in Zimbabwe?

The involvement of political players from Harare suggests that Tshabangu may be a tool in a bigger game, one that is aimed at weakening the CCC. If these allegations are true, it would mean that Tshabangu is no longer acting on his own but is being guided by others who have their own goals. These ‘political hyenas’ might be using Tshabangu to do their dirty work, attacking members of the opposition to create chaos and confusion.

For the people of Mabvuku-Tafara, this political drama creates even more uncertainty. How can they trust the process when it seems like there are hidden hands pulling the strings? If the by-elections are clouded by these types of actions, it raises serious concerns about the fairness of the elections and the integrity of the democratic process in Zimbabwe.

Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi’s case is now a key example of the challenges that opposition parties face in Zimbabwe. What happens to him in the courts and the political arena will show just how hard it is for opposition figures to operate in such a tough political environment. It is becoming clear that the opposition is not just fighting for votes—they are also fighting against hidden forces that want to undermine their efforts at every turn.

As this story continues to unfold, it is important to pay attention to who is really behind Tshabangu’s actions. Is he acting alone, or are more powerful figures using him to achieve their own goals? The answers to these questions could have a big impact on the future of Zimbabwe’s democracy. Everyone who cares about fair and free elections should be watching closely to see how this political drama ends and what it means for the country as a whole.
