Opposition activists want to meet with Nelson Chamisa about problems facing their movement. Chamisa left the Citizens Coalition for Change after Sengezo Tshabangu took control of the party. The former leader has supporters wondering about his plans for returning to politics. Social media groups of angry activists wrote a letter for Chamisa. They worry about secret meetings that exclude regular members.
The activists say powerful insiders choose leaders without asking grassroots supporters. Ward representatives and coordinators get picked by a small group of people. This creates fighting among opposition members who should work together. Some activists face accusations of working with enemies. Trust breaks down when people suspect each other of betrayal.
The letter asks Chamisa to write a constitution before starting his new party. Opposition supporters currently fight over who belongs and who stays out. Members call each other sellouts and create more division. The activists believe clear rules would prevent future problems. They want democratic processes that include all supporters rather than secret decisions.
