Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF Treasurer General Patrick Chinamasa<\/b> has described Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) self-styled Interim Secretary-General Sengezo Tshabangu<\/b> as \u201ca real man\u201d.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Chinamasa said Tshabangu exhibited bravery when he recalled 30 CCC public office bearers without the approval of the party\u2019s Change Champion in Chief, Nelson Chamisa. Said Chinamasa:<\/p>\n

I think Sengenzo Tshabangu is what the late President Mugabe would call amadoda sibili. Murume chaiye.<\/p>\n

Without a shadow of a doubt, Tshabangu has balls, the sort of balls you see so prominently, arrogantly, and shamelessly displayed by those 2 metal bulls locked in mortal combat at a Trek Service Station to the approving stare and scrutiny of both customers and passersby alike.<\/p>\n

In recalling CCC MPs and Councillors mainly from Bulawayo and Matabeleland where he comes from, Tshabangu effectively wrestled control of the party from Chamisa.<\/p>\n

Chinamasa believes Tshabangu is working for senior CCC officials, among them Tendai Biti and Professor Welshman Ncube, who were MDC Alliance vice presidents, and Charlton Hwende, who was MDC Alliance secretary general. He said:<\/p>\n

But when I say Tshabangu has balls, don\u2019t be impressed too soon. He is indeed a very brave man, but this must be qualified.<\/p>\n

To be honest, Me-Thinks Sengenzo Tshabangu is a Cat\u2019s paw, meaning that he is a person used by another to undertake a dangerous or unpleasant task (\u201ccat\u2019s paw\u201d is derived from the tale of a clever monkey who used a cat\u2019s foot to rake chestnuts from the fire).<\/p>\n

Looking into my crystal ball, I see clearly 3, perhaps 4, 5, or 6 monkeys using Tshabangu to douse the inferno started by Emperor Nero to burn colleagues he wants discarded from the leadership of Triple C. Who are these Monkeys?<\/p>\n

The top 3 Monkeys are undoubtedly Tendai Biti, Professor Welshman Ncube, and Charlton Hwende who, to their regret and utter shame, have not been endowed with balls worth displaying.<\/p>\n

As events unfold, I cannot rule out Chibaya and Zvizwai to be part of the conspiracy against the Emperor, if not, at the very least, these other monkeys can be reckoned to be looking forward to feeding from the 3 top monkeys\u2019 trough in the event the plot succeeds. Just think of it.<\/p>\n

Sengenzo Tshabangu declares himself Interim Secretary General of Triple C and none of these monkeys issues a Statement to dispute the fact.<\/p>\n
