So, 56% of the CCC manifesto some of whose content has been credited to Nelson Chamisa himself, is stolen word for word.
Shocking.
In other words, the CCC manifesto is stolen intellectual property.
Here's the link re: the details of the theft described as "criminal":

While 56% of the CCC manifesto is stolen word for word, some of the rest is paraphrased from other sources and the presentation of some material is copied from a recently published manifesto.
Ironically, some CCC thinkers - who have since been purged by Chamisa - had drafted a manifesto for their as yet to be launched constitutionless and structureless party formed on 24 January 2022, opaquely being tightly run by Chamisa like a cult.
It is a well-known open secret in and outside CCC circles that Tendai Biti and Luke Tamborinyoka drafted a 2023 election manifesto for CCC, after they spent some considerable time researching it, only for Chamisa to throw it away in favour of a manifesto full of 56% stolen content.
Interestingly, and tellingly, the stolen CCC manifesto also features the complicated five-level stack interchange, the High Five, in Dallas in the US, which Chamisa has previously peddled as emblematic of his own spaghetti ideas to hoodwink and mislead his fanatical followers, about what he says is his vision for Zimbabwe, based on stolen ideas.
Chamisa threw away the Biti/Tamborinyika researched and drafted CCC manifesto, to make the point that he does not want thinkers in CCC, among his orbit of sycophantic associates, who have shown not to have independent opinions of their own.
By stealing a manifesto - after throwing away the one researched and drafted by Biti and Tamborinyika - and peddling it as CCC material; Chamisa and his CCC cohort of Fadzayi Mahere, Gift Ostallos Siziva and Amos Chibaya are prooving to the public that they're intellectually bankrupt, anti-intellectual, with no ideas of their own; and hence they have no policies, no ideology, no values, no constitution and no structures; and they are by their own actions unfit to govern; notwithstanding the fanatical crowds that Chamisa, with his God Complex, attracts at rallies in a Jim Jones-style!
Shocking.
