Self-appointed Citizens Coalition for Change Secretary-General Sengezo Tshabangu has changed the party’s leadership in Parliament and also appointed himself leader of the opposition.
This follows a decision by Parliament to cancel the appointments that were made by Jameson Timba in February this year.
Below is the list of the appointments announced in the Senate.

Former Mount Pleasant legislator Fadzayi Mahere has accused Parliament of contradicting itself to favour Sengezo Tshabangu.
