Chamisa
was
responding
to
a
High
Court
application
filed
by
self-proclaimed
CCC
interim
secretary-general
Sengezo
Tshabangu
on
behalf
of
the
party
seeking
a
court
order
to
compel
alleged
Chamisa
allies
to
vacate
CCC
Bulawayo
offices.
Tshabangu
claims
that
Chamisa
sent
his
proxies
to
paint
CCC
Bulawayo
offices
blue,
following
speculation
that
the
former
CCC
leader
was
forming
another
political
party
with
blue
as
its
main
colour.
In
his
founding
affidavit,
Tshabangu
said:
“They,
indeed,
confirmed
that
a
group
of
unknown
people
of
about
25
to
30
people
comprising
both
male
and
females
had
besieged
applicant’s
Bulawayo
provincial
offices
situated
at
Number
41
Fort
Street,
Between
2nd
and
3rd
Avenue
in
Bulawayo
claiming
to
have
been
sent
by
and
furthering
the
interests
of
the
respondent
(Chamisa),
forcibly
took
occupation,
control
and
possession
of
the
applicant’s
offices.”
But
Chamisa
said
the
application
was
frivolous.
“I
am
presently
not
with
any
movement,
grouping
or
political
party,”
Chamisa
said.
“I
did
not
direct,
require,
or
encourage
anyone
to
take
over
the
premises
which
are
referred
to
by
the
deponent
to
the
founding
affidavit
as
attributed
to
me.
I
resigned
as
the
leader
of
the
applicant
and
since
that
resignation,
have
not
physically
been
to
Bulawayo.
“I
completely
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
applicant
If
there
is
anyone
in
occupation
the
deponent
to
the
founding
affidavit
knows
who
they
are
and
that
it’s
not
me.
The
applicant
must
sue
those
people
if
ever
they
exist,
instead
of
harassing
me.”
Chamisa
accused
Tshabangu
of
using
the
courts
to
gain
relevance.
“My
image
and
name
have
been
appropriated
by
many
people
who
have
no
connection
to
me,”
he
said.
“In
fact,
the
irony
of
the
application
is
that
since
I
resigned
as
the
leader
of
the
Citizens
Coalition
for
Change,
the
applicant
and
the
deponent
to
the
founding
affidavit
have
continued
to
use
my
face
on
their
preferred
logo.
I
wish
to
reiterate
that
I
have
no
special
association
with
any
colour,
any
political
organisation
or
any
movement.”
Chamisa’s
response
came
at
a
time
his
followers
are
anticipating
the
launch
of
a
new
opposition
political
party,
whose
colours
will
be
blue.
