In this article, I critique Zimbabwe's main opposition party by pointing out its shortcomings and proposing what it should do differently. Unlike the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), which skilfully studies and exploits its opponents' weaknesses, the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has neglected this critical strategy, leading to significant consequences. Drawing on critical theory's concepts of political power, ideology, and praxis, I highlight the lack of clear evidence that the CCC fully understands ZANU-PF's strengths and weaknesses. Even if such understanding exists, there is no indication that the CCC effectively uses this knowledge to its advantage. This paper emphasises the urgent need for the opposition to close this strategic gap, warning that failure risks political irrelevance and ineffective tactics in Zimbabwean politics.
