Chamisa announces launch of new book

Former Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa is shifting gears from active politics to authorship with the announcement of his forthcoming book, Citizenocracy: Leadership By & For Citizens.

On Friday, 13 June 2025, Chamisa took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to unveil plans for the new publication, describing it as "a must-read" and promising that it would be released "soon." Although he did not specify an exact launch date, the teaser immediately sparked curiosity and discussion across social media platforms.

Chamisa's simple announcement read:
"THE NEW BOOK! A must read! Coming soon."

The response was mixed. Many supporters expressed excitement about gaining insight into his views on leadership, the role of citizens in governance, and reflections on Zimbabwe's recent political developments. Some users saw the book as a potential contribution to the ongoing national conversation about democracy and political reform.

However, not all reactions were positive. Critics questioned the timing and relevance of the book, suggesting it may serve more as a personal memoir than a practical guide for future leadership.

As Zimbabwe's political landscape continues to evolve, Chamisa's book could provide a valuable perspective from one of the country's most prominent opposition figures. Readers will be watching closely for the official release date to see how Citizenocracy shapes the discourse on leadership and citizen engagement in Zimbabwe.
