Zimbabwe’s Opposition CCC Biti Leaves Politics

In Zimbabwe, another opposition leader has announced he’s leaving active politics. The New Zimbabwe website reports that Tendai Biti, one of the three vice presidents of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says he needs a sabbatical. In January this year, Triple C founder and President Nelson Chamisa abruptly resigned from the party, saying it had been hijacked by the ruling ZANU PF. Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe social justice advocate and writer, tells VOA’s James Butty, Biti’s departure is one more sign that the Zimbabwe opposition is effectively dead.
