By Advent Shoko
Blessed Runesu Geza, a former liberation war fighter and expelled ZANU-PF Central Committee member, has twice tried to remove President Emmerson Mnangagwa from power.
His first effort involved a planned march on March 31, followed by a call for an indefinite national shutdown starting April 21.
However, both actions failed to gain traction, exposing weaknesses in strategy, mobilisation, and public perception.
GEZA’S ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MNANGAGWA
Geza has levelled serious accusations against Mnangagwa, branding him corrupt, power-hungry, and selfish. In a bold interview, he declared, “He wants to eat alone. I also want to eat. I want bodyguards. I’m not a political condom.”
This explosive language underscored his frustration at being sidelined and his view that Mnangagwa has consolidated power solely for personal gain. Geza’s primary concern is the suspected plot by Mnangagwa and his allies to extend his rule beyond the 2028 constitutional limit.
Mnangagwa’s declaration, “2030 ndeendichipo,” raised eyebrows, while his Information Minister, Dr. Jenfan Muswere, suggested potential constitutional amendments to allow more than two terms.
Furthermore, ZANU-PF’s provincial structures have already endorsed Mnangagwa as the party’s future candidate. Although the president later stated he respects term limits, his opponents remain unconvinced.
WHY GEZA FAILED
Geza’s efforts to topple Mnangagwa did not fail because the grievances lacked merit, but because of fundamental issues with execution, strategy, and context. Below is a critical breakdown:
1. A Recycled Script with No Surprise Element
Geza’s approach mirrors the 2017 strategy that led to Mugabe’s ouster. That plan relied heavily on public pressure and behind-the-scenes military coordination. However, Mnangagwa, having lived through and possibly designed that playbook, is now better prepared to counter any similar attempt. He reshuffled his cabinet to weaken potential dissenters, especially within the security sector, appointing loyalists in key ministries. This has likely closed the door on any possibility of a ‘palace coup’ or military-backed protest. Geza underestimated the regime’s defensive posture.
2. Bread-and-Butter Realities of Zimbabweans
Zimbabwe’s economic environment is deeply harsh. The average citizen lives hand-to-mouth. Vendors, taxi drivers, and civil servants can’t afford to stay home for a political cause that has no clear outcome. Missing a day of work means missing a day of food. Geza’s shutdown demanded a level of sacrifice that few could afford, especially with no support structures in place to cushion the impact. Unlike 2016’s #ThisFlag campaign or the 2019 fuel protests, there was no galvanising moment to unify suffering into action.
3. No Alternative Plan Beyond the Shutdown
Even if the shutdown had gained traction, Geza offered no roadmap. What happens after the shutdown? Would he call for negotiations, or was he relying solely on pressure? The absence of a visible, practical plan made his movement appear amateurish. A well-executed movement requires layers—political, legal, diplomatic, and grassroots coordination. Geza’s strategy was a one-trick pony, devoid of meaningful political infrastructure.
4. Lack of Broad Political Consensus
No major political player backed Geza. Nelson Chamisa, arguably the most influential opposition figure, kept his distance. This wasn’t just political caution—it was strategic. Chamisa likely saw the flaws and potential for co-optation. Without coalition-building, even the most righteous of causes becomes marginal. Geza’s movement appeared individualistic, lacking both national appeal and unity of purpose. The absence of civic society, churches, and labour unions in his corner left his cause hollow.
5. No Trigger Event—The ‘Sarajevo Moment’
Movements often need a flashpoint—something visceral and immediate. In 2019, it was fuel hikes. In Tunisia’s Arab Spring, it was a vendor’s self-immolation. Geza’s protests lacked urgency. People have slowly adjusted to suffering in Zimbabwe; inflation, taxes, and corruption are now normalised. His timing was poor. If the shutdown had come right after painful tax policies or new salary cuts, the outcome may have been different. Instead, he mobilised against the abstract idea of extended term limits—important but not immediately painful.
CONCLUSION
Geza’s mission is not without merit. The issues he raises—entrenchment of power, constitutional violations, and corruption—resonate widely. However, political change requires more than grievances. It requires strategy, legitimacy, timing, and above all, the people. Until Geza refines his approach, broadens his appeal, and presents a credible national agenda, his efforts will remain symbolic rather than catalytic. As it stands, he remains a lone voice shouting in a storm.

Pindula News

Geza, a former fighter, tried to remove President Mnangagwa twice but failed. Geza accuses Mnangagwa of being corrupt and power-hungry. Mnangagwa wants to extend his rule beyond the limit. Geza failed because his plan was not surprising, people couldn't afford to protest, he had no clear plan, no major political player supported him, and there was no trigger event. Geza's mission is important, but he needs a better strategy and more support. As of now, he remains a lone voice in the storm.

Geza's Failed Attempts To Unseat Mnangagwa: A Deeper Look

A prominent journalist, Blessed Mhlanga, has spent two months in prison after Zimbabwean authorities arrested and prosecuted him on criminal charges related to interviewing a perceived opponent of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who has been vocal in opposing manoeuvres to extend the ZANU PF political party leader’s tenure beyond the constitutional two-term limit.
The 44 year-old Mhlanga, who is represented by Chris Mhike of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, has spent 60 days in both police and prison detention after Zimbabwe Republic Police officers arrested him on 24 February 2025 and charged him with transmitting data messages with the intention of inciting violence as defined in section 164 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
Judicial officers at Harare Magistrates Court and at Harare High Court have on three occasions dismissed Mhlanga’s applications and an appeal to be released from prison on bail pending trial thereby condemning him to be detained for two months at Harare Remand Prison.
During his latest attempt for freedom, Harare Magistrate Donald Ndirowei dismissed Mhlanga’s application for bail, after ruling that there were no changed circumstances to warrant his release from prison and that the state had made significant progress in investigating his case to an extent that prosecutors were ready to furnish him with a trial date hence releasing him on bail when such significant progress has been made will not be in the interests of justice.
Prosecutors claim that Mhlanga, a senior journalist at Heart and Soul Broadcasting Services (HSTV), owned by Alpha Media Holdings, acted unlawfully when he allegedly recorded a video of Blessed Runesu Geza, a former ZANU PF central committee member and a liberation war veteran, and reportedly made it available to members of the public by transmitting and broadcasting it on YouTube, a social media and online video sharing platform and on HSTV, a digital content service provider and distributor, with the intention of inciting people to commit undisclosed acts of violence.
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights

Blessed Mhlanga, a journalist, has been in jail for two months in Zimbabwe for interviewing a person critical of President Mnangagwa. He was accused of trying to incite violence by sharing the interview online. He tried to get bail, but the court denied it three times. Prosecutors say he broke the law by sharing the interview. Mhlanga's lawyer says he has not committed any crime. He works for a media company called HSTV. His case has sparked concerns about press freedom in Zimbabwe.

Blessed Mhlanga Clocks 60 Days In Jail Over Geza Interview | Full Statement

A senior Zimbabwean government official, George Charamba, who serves as Deputy Chief Secretary for Presidential Communications, has warned journalists and media outlets against disseminating video messages by Blessed Geza.
Responding to an excerpt of Geza’s recent statement shared on the social media platform X by The NewsHawks, Charamba asserted that the act of republishing such content can only be done by people who are part of the “insurgency.”
Charamba warned journalists that those who circulate Geza’s messages are complicit in subversive activities. Said Charamba:
<blockquote>
YOU HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY UNTRAINED OR PART OF INSURGENCY TO PUBLISH A MESSAGE LIKE THIS IN THE NAME OF JOURNALISM. WE TAKE LONG TO REACT BUT WHEN WE DO, TIME DIES FOR YOU!!!!
</blockquote>
In his latest message, delivered via social media platforms on Tuesday night, which was deemed subversive by Charamba, Geza issued a warning to Zimbabweans for disregarding his call for a national shutdown intended to pressure President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down. He said:
<blockquote>
Kana tati izvo “shut down”, garai kumba. Garai kumba mose because munhu amuri kuteerera iyeye ndiye munhu atiri kuda kuti aende… Chatinokumbirisa kuti mugare kumba ndechekuti pakurwiswa kuchaitwa zvigananda izvi, zvimwe zvacho zvine ma bodyguard ane pfuti, zvimwe zvacho zvakatsvagirwa ma mercernary ane pfuti, panokwanisa kuitika exchange yepfuti mukaitwa crossfire.
(When we say ‘shut down,’ stay at home. All of you stay at home because the person you’re listening to is the one we want to leave… We ask you to stay home because during the attacks that will take place on these [Zvigananda], some of them have bodyguards with guns, others have hired mercenaries with guns. There could be an exchange of gunfire, and you might get caught in the crossfire.)
</blockquote>
This is not the first instance in which Charamba has issued threats against local journalists for publishing content deemed unfavourable by the political establishment.
In 2023, Charamba threatened members of the press with imprisonment for reporting on corruption allegations involving individuals linked to Zimbabwe’s ruling elite, as exposed in Al Jazeera’s “Gold Mafia” documentary.
Using an account on X (formerly Twitter), which he has publicly acknowledged as his, Charamba issued a warning in a post that read:
<blockquote>
FRIENDLY ADVICE TO ALL RECKLESS JOURNALISTS: Al Jazeera is not a court of law before whose claims impart privileges to defamatory utterances.
It is merely some weaponized channel. If you are reckless enough to repeat what its phoney documentary defamatorily says, hoping to plead: ‘I heard/saw it on Al Jazeera,’ you will be sorry for yourself. 
Do not for once think there is grit to act against defamatory and politically motivated journalism. Faceless Twitter names egging you on will not be a factor when brickbats come. Be warned.”
</blockquote>
In his statement, the Presidential Spokesperson ominously referenced the incarceration of opposition parliamentarian Job Sikhala (who spent nearly two years in pre-trial detention), implicitly signalling how the government might deal with journalists who deviate from the official narrative in their coverage of sensitive matters.
Meanwhile, HStv journalist Blessed Mhlanga remains in pre-trial detention following his arrest on 24 February 2025 in Harare.
Mhlanga is being charged under Section 164 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, accused of transmitting data messages allegedly inciting violence and causing damage to property.
The charges are linked to a series of interviews he conducted with Blessed Geza, a war veteran and outspoken critic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.

A government official in Zimbabwe called journalists "insurgents" for sharing video messages by Blessed Geza. He warned that sharing this content is like being part of a rebellion. Geza had called for a national shutdown to make the President resign. This warning is not the first time this official has threatened journalists. Another journalist, Blessed Mhlanga, is in trouble for interviewing Geza and is facing charges for inciting violence. The government is cracking down on journalists who go against their narrative.

ED Spokesperson Labels Journalists "Insurgents" For Sharing Geza Content

Zimbabweans largely ignored an indefinite “stay-away” called by Blessed Geza, leader of a faction of war veterans demanding President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s resignation, as banks and major supermarkets in Harare and Bulawayo opened for business as usual on Tuesday, 22 April—the day the national shutdown was meant to commence.
Commuter omnibuses and long-distance bus services offloaded workers at drop-off points in both cities, indicating that the call for a shutdown had been widely disregarded.
Geza’s previous call for an “uprising” on 31 March had led to a near-total shutdown across the country, prompting fears of a repeat.
In anticipation, the Public Service Commission (PSC), which employs all civil servants, issued warnings of stern disciplinary action against public sector workers who failed to report for duty. Police were also deployed nationwide to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and public order.
Government spokesperson Ndavaningi Mangwana, posting on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, declared that the strike call had failed. Said Mangwana:
<blockquote>
It’s foolhardy for anyone to think that they can dictate when and how people engage in economic activities. It’s equally grandiose for them to think that the Zimbabwean people are a subject of their whim.
</blockquote>
In Bulawayo, the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair entered its second day without any signs of disruption.
Blessed Geza has accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa of mismanaging the country and enabling the looting of national resources by a select few, whom he refers to as “zvigananda”.
The war veteran, who was recently expelled from ZANU–PF, currently has an outstanding arrest warrant after being charged with treason by the authorities. He is believed to have fled the country.

Zimbabweans did not listen to Blessed Geza's call for a national shutdown. Banks and shops were open as usual. Buses dropped off workers, showing no support for the shutdown. The government warned civil servants of punishment if they skipped work. The police were out to keep order. A government spokesperson said the strike failed. In Bulawayo, a trade fair continued without any problems. Geza blames the president for mismanaging the country. He has an arrest warrant for treason and has left Zimbabwe.

Zimbabweans Ignore Geza's Call For National Shutdown

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has deployed officers across the country in large numbers in anticipation of any potential unrest linked to a national shutdown called by war veteran Blessed Geza.
Geza, a former ZANU PF Central Committee member, called for the shutdown to begin on Tuesday, 22 April, and continue indefinitely until President Emmerson Mnangagwa steps down.
In a statement issued on the eve of the protest action, the ZRP warned that anyone who disrupts the free movement of the public or interferes with the flow of traffic will be arrested. Part of the statement reads:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Republic Police is ready to ensure that the public is free to engage in all socio-economic activities without fear, intimidation, threats or harassment on 22nd and 23rd April 2025.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police has deployed enough officers throughout the country to effectively maintain law and order including in Central Business Districts, residential areas, industrial areas and all areas frequented by the public.
In this regard, the Police will arrest anyone who interferes with the smooth flow of traffic and movement of the public.
The public is warned against abusing social media and is urged to totally disregard social media postings meant to cause chaos and alarm in the country.
All local and foreign exhibitors attending the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair exhibition forum are assured of their security and safety.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police reiterates that it is ready to conduct its constitutional mandate without fear or favour.
Any instigators of violence and disruption of the normal operation of the economy will be severely dealt with.
</blockquote>
The ZRP has urged members of the public to report anyone inciting violence, issuing threats, or attempting to intimidate others into engaging in unlawful activities.

A man called Geza wants the President of Zimbabwe to step down. He told people to stop working until this happens. The police are prepared for any trouble this might cause. They warn that anyone who causes problems will be arrested. They are watching social media to stop rumors that might cause chaos. The police want everyone to stay calm and report anyone trying to start violence or threats. They promise to keep people safe during this time.

Geza’s National Shutdown Triggers Heavy Police Deployment

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has reported that the situation across the country remained peaceful on Tuesday, April 22, the first day of an indefinite national shutdown called by war veteran Blessed Geza.
Geza, who has been calling for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to resign, urged citizens to stay away from work and shut down economic activity in protest. However, by mid-morning, police said there had been no major incidents.
In a brief statement, the ZRP commended the public for their cooperation in maintaining peace and order. The statement reads:
<blockquote>
The ZRP informs the public that the security situation in the country is peaceful. The public is commended for the smooth flow of traffic and cooperation with the police in maintaining law and order in the country.
</blockquote>
On Monday morning, Geza called for a national shutdown to force Mnangagwa to step down, accusing him of incompetence and presiding over a corrupt administration.
In a strongly worded statement, Geza claimed that the looting of Zimbabwe’s resources by what he described as “zvigananda”, a term referring to corrupt elites, had reached alarming levels, leaving ordinary citizens to suffer the consequences. He said:
<blockquote>
Looting at the levels that Mnangagwa and his Zvigananda are doing to our country is continuing each day they remain in office. 
This has now reached an unprecedented level and is unforgivable and cannot be tolerated any longer. 
Alarming cases of looting billions of dollars in our country are being covered up, and these thieves continue to enjoy Mnangagwa’s protection. 
Mnangagwa, due to his severe mental illness, now thinks his position as president of Zimbabwe is now the same as a mafia or a cartel boss. 
Each day that passes by, Mnangagwa and the Zviigananda are preoccupied with moving their looted billions of dollars to foreign countries. But progressive members of our security sector are quietly monitoring all their moves. 
We definitely can never accept or tolerate this behavior from Emmerson Mnangagwa and these Zviigananda any day longer. 
For instance, Mnangagwa and his criminal cartel abused Command Agriculture scandal to loot approximately 3 billion U.S. dollars. 
GDI scandal to steal hundreds of millions of United States dollars in assets from the Zimbabwe Defence Forces. 
Kuvimba mining house scandal to loot 1.9 billion U.S. dollars. Gold incentive scandal to loot more than 750 million U.S. dollars. 
ZEC scandal to loot 800 million Rand. Chivayo OPC scandal to loot 548 million US dollars, Valley Seeds scandal to loot 191 million US dollars, Geo Pomona scandal to loot in excess of 162 million US dollars. These are just a few examples
</blockquote>

War veteran Blessed Geza called for a national shutdown to protest against President Mnangagwa. The Zimbabwe Republic Police said no major incidents were reported on the first day of the shutdown. Geza accused Mnangagwa of corruption and called for his resignation. The police commended the public for maintaining peace and order. Geza claimed that Mnangagwa and his allies were looting billions of dollars from the country. The police are monitoring their activities. The shutdown aims to force Mnangagwa to step down due to alleged corruption and incompetence.

No Incidents Reported As National Shutdown Begins

The Public Service Commission (PSC) has issued a stern warning to civil servants, urging them not to heed a call by war veteran Blessed Geza for a national shutdown. The PSC said it will not tolerate absenteeism without proper authorisation.
Geza, who has become increasingly vocal in his demands for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down, recently called for a nationwide shutdown on April 22 and 23, 2025. He later escalated his call, declaring that the shutdown would be indefinite.
In a statement released on Monday, April 21, the PSC directed all public servants, excluding those on duly authorised leave, to report for duty at their designated stations. The statement reads:
<blockquote>
The Public Service Commission (PSC) notes with concern recent incitements circulating on various platforms, encouraging Public Servants and other citizens to stay away from work or abstain from regular activities on 22 and 23 April 2025.
The Commission is confident that Public Servants, who are committed, disciplined, and fully aware of their responsibilities, will not be misled by such reckless and disruptive incitements.
Public Servants are reminded that their core mandate is to serve the people of Zimbabwe faithfully, diligently, and without interruption.
The work carried out by the Public Service is vital to the delivery of essential services and the advancement of our national development aspirations, as outlined in Vision 2030.
Participation in any stay-away that disrupts service delivery constitutes a dereliction of duty and an act of insubordination.
Such actions are unpatriotic, undermine national unity, damage the economy, and hinder the collective progress of the nation.
The Public Service Commission will not tolerate any conduct that threatens the stability and functionality of public institutions.
Accordingly, the Public Service Commission wishes to clarify that Tuesday, 22 April 2025, and Wednesday, 23 April 2025, are normal working days.
All Public Servants, except those on duly authorised leave, are expected to report for duty at their designated workstations, observe normal working hours, and, where necessary, work beyond official hours in fulfillment of their duties.
Accounting Officers are hereby instructed to ensure that attendance registers are completed for their Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, including devolved structures.
Commission Inspectors will collect these registers at the usual time each day for purposes of enforcing appropriate Public Service regulations without delay.
The Commission expects all Public Servants to continue discharging their responsibilities with characteristic commitment, professionalism, and loyalty to the Republic of Zimbabwe.
Together, let us uphold the dignity of the Public Service and contribute meaningfully towards building a prosperous, resilient, and united Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>

The government is telling civil servants not to listen to a man who wants them to stop working on April 22 and 23. The government says it won't allow people to skip work without permission. The civil servants are being reminded that their job is important for the country and they should work as usual. The government is warning that not working can hurt the country and that civil servants need to be committed, professional, and loyal. They are expected to show up for work on those days, unless they have permission to be off. The government wants everyone to work together to build a better Zimbabwe.

Govt. Warns Civil Servants Against Joining National Shutdown

Blessed Geza has called on business owners to support the public with food supplies during the indefinite national shutdown he announced, set to begin on 22 April 2025.
Geza declared that the shutdown will only come to an end once President Emmerson Mnangagwa steps down, accusing him of protecting criminal cartels that are allegedly draining the country’s economy.
Speaking on Monday, 21 April, Geza acknowledged that many citizens may run out of food as the shutdown continues. 
He appealed to businesses to step in and help by providing food to the people, assuring them that the incoming government would compensate them for their support. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
Fellow Zimbabweans, we know that as we stay home, we will fall hungry and our food stocks will diminish. 
We call upon all wholesalers of foodstuffs and all stores to feel free to help the people and keep a record of the stock we released.
The process should be witnessed by at least five senior managers and put in writing the new government will compensate you after verification of your pre-shutdown inventory.
This is good for you because under the criminal cabal of Mnangagwa, we have lost so much from poor economic policies, bad governance, and looting.
</blockquote>

Geza wants the government to shut down until the president resigns. He asks businesses to give food to people during the shutdown. Geza says the shutdown will only end if the president steps down. He promises businesses that the new government will pay them back for the food they give. Geza says the current president is working with criminals who are hurting the economy. Geza thinks the shutdown will make people run out of food, so he asks for help. The shutdown will start on 22 April 2025.

Geza Says Shutdown To Continue Until Mnangagwa Resigns, Pleads With Businesses To Feed Masses

War veteran Blessed Geza has claimed that Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, Prosecutor General Virginia Mabiza, and Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda are preparing proposals to amend the Constitution and extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s final term from 2028 to 2030.
In a statement released on Monday morning, 21 April 2025, Geza also alleged that the plan includes extending the life of Parliament from five to seven years. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
The situation in our country has reached another level. Since our address on Saturday 19 April 2025, further damning information has come to us through progressive forces within the security sector in our country. 
These progressive forces have revealed continued daily plunder of our national treasury by Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa and his Zvigananda. 
This is done while our people continue to suffer in every way, including a collapsed healthcare system, infrastructure decay, judicial capture and others. 
As we speak, Ziyambi Ziyambi, the Minister of Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Virginia Mabiza, Prosecutor General, and Jacob Mudenda, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, are ready to submit proposals to amend the Constitution and extend the presidential term to 2030. 
The amendments will also extend the life of parliament from five to seven years. This will take the current parliament to 2030.
</blockquote>
Geza further claimed that one of the key amendments being proposed would involve the repeal of Section 328 of the Constitution, which currently outlines the procedures for amending the Constitution.
The repeal of this section would effectively bypass existing checks and balances designed to prevent such changes, enabling a potentially indefinite extension of the presidency. He said:
<blockquote>
They are also planning to use their two-thirds majority to approve the amendments and illegally avoid a referendum. 
They are planning to submit the proposals to the Cabinet next week for approval, using the ZANU PF two-thirds majority. 
Public consultations will be conducted, and even if they are resisted, amendments will be adopted by Parliament again. 
The amendments will be adopted without conducting a referendum. We are aware of this shenanigans. 
Apart from looting millions, they are also planning to loot the Constitution by criminally mutilating the Constitution to extend their plunder.
</blockquote>
Geza has strongly warned Ziyambi, Mudenda, and Mabiza that any attempt to change the Constitution will not be tolerated. 
The former ZANU PF Central Committee member accused the trio of meeting with judges and pressuring them to dismiss any applications made by individuals seeking to protect the Constitution.
In his statement, Geza reiterated his claims that millions of dollars are being looted by those close to President Mnangagwa. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
Looting at the levels that Mnangagwa and his Zviiganandas are doing to our country is continuing each day they remain in the office.
 This has now reached an unprecedented level and is unforgivable and cannot be tolerated any longer. 
Alarming cases of looting billions of dollars in our country are being covered up, and these thieves continue to enjoy Mnangagwa’s protection.
</blockquote>

A man named Geza said some important people want to extend the President's time in charge until 2030. They also want to make Parliament last longer. Geza said they are also planning to change the rules to make it easier for them to do this. He warned them not to change the Constitution. Geza said they are stealing a lot of money from the country every day. He thinks this is very wrong and wants them to stop.

Geza Names Key Figures Allegedly Pushing For 2-Year Extension Of Mnangagwa’s Presidency And Parliament's Term

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Jenfan Muswere, has urged Zimbabweans to brush off war veteran Blessed Geza’s call for a national shutdown on 22 and 23 April.
In a statement on Sunday night, Muswere said people shouldn’t waste their time listening to what he called “unproductive charlatans” and “peddlers of lies” who are trying to undo the progress made since the liberation struggle. He said:
<blockquote>
As we continue to celebrate our national independence, utilising the inclusive approach through decentralisation and devolution of national events, leaving no place and no one behind, we must remain united against cyber terrorism and enemies of progress.
We have a responsibility to build our country. Zimbabweans should utilise the internet for development. We should ignore calls from unproductive charlatans and merchants of falsehoods, who seek to reverse the gains of the liberation struggle, through demonisation of Zimbabwe’s image, its people and leadership, through misinformation and malice.
As Zimbabweans, we are hardworking, enterprising, focused people who have a responsibility to develop our country. We fought and we won. We conquered, we won and now we must continue to work together to develop our country.
</blockquote>
On Saturday evening, Geza, a former ZANU PF Central Committee member, called for a national shutdown on 22 and 23 April to put pressure on President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down.
This follows his earlier call for an “uprising” on 31 March, which didn’t really take off as most people stayed home, likely worried about possible violence.
Geza, also known as “Bombshell,” is currently wanted by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) on several charges, including theft, trying to undermine the President’s authority, and inciting public violence.
He says the planned shutdown is meant to “send a strong message to Mnangagwa” and the “criminals” around him.

The government says don't listen to Geza's call for a national shutdown on April 22 and 23. They call him a liar trying to ruin progress. They want people to use the internet for good and ignore those causing trouble. Geza wants people to pressure President Mnangagwa to step down. He is wanted by the police for theft and inciting violence. The government says they have a duty to build the country and work together. People should focus on development and not fall for Geza's tricks.

Govt. Urges Citizens To Ignore Geza’s Call For A National Shutdown

Blessed Runesu Geza, the fugitive war veteran and former ZANU PF Central Committee member, has called for a national shutdown on 22 and 23 April to pressure President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down.
Geza made the call on Saturday evening, just weeks after his previous call for an “uprising” on 31 March 2025 failed to gain traction. Most people stayed at home out of fear of getting caught in any violence.
Although Geza claimed the March 31 shutdown was a success, saying most businesses were closed and people remained indoors, he had actually called for mass protests, not just people staying home.
Geza, who is also known by the nickname “Bombshell,” is currently wanted by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) on several charges, including theft, undermining the authority of the President, and inciting public violence.
His latest call for a shutdown came just hours after President Mnangagwa, in his Independence Day speech on 18 April in Gokwe, warned against using social media to incite unrest.
Despite that, Geza went online yesterday, urging Zimbabweans to “send a strong message to Mnangagwa” by shutting down the country for two days. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the 22nd and 23rd of April 2025, everyone must stay home. We must shut down Zimbabwe completely.
This is to send a strong message to Mnangagwa and his “zvigananda”. Shops and industries will not open, and kombis will be parked.
The police will not teargas you, but if they ever come to you, you have the right to defend yourselves.
</blockquote>
Geza also said that with Mnangagwa controlling state institutions and protests being banned, staying home has become a powerful way to push back. He said:
<blockquote>
Mnangagwa has taken control of the judiciary and shut down Parliament at his own discretion.
Zimbabwe stands out as the only country where public demonstrations are effectively banned, so we have discovered that staying at home is one of the few powerful tools we still have to make our voices heard.
I am pleading with you to stay home, I know it is hard considering we are living from hand to mouth.
So, fellow Zimbabweans, we are staying away to force Mnangagwa to step down.
</blockquote>
Geza has faced backlash since the 31 March protests, with some accusing him of not doing anything to help those who were arrested in Harare after reportedly taking part in a flash protest sparked by his call.

A man named Blessed Runesu Geza is asking everyone in Zimbabwe to not go to work or go to school on April 22 and April 23. He wants President Mnangagwa to quit. Geza asked people to do this before, but it did not work. This time, he wants everyone to stay home for two days. Geza is calling for this because he believes it will show the President that people are not happy with him. Geza is wanted by the police for some crimes. President Mnangagwa has warned people not to start trouble online before. Geza is telling everyone to stay home instead of protesting because it is harder for the police to stop.

Geza Renews Push Against Mnangagwa With Call For Two-Day National Shutdown

ZANU PF National Political Commissar, Munyaradzi Machacha, has made explosive allegations against former ZANU PF Central Committee member Blessed Runesu Geza, accusing him of being dishonest and greedy.
Machacha claimed that during the liberation war in Mozambique, Geza used to steal from the logistics warehouse and resell goods to villagers.
Geza, who recently broke ranks with some of his colleagues in ZANU PF over the party’s push to amend the constitution and allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to serve a third term, has been accused of various crimes, including rape, murder and theft.
What has raised eyebrows is that these allegations have only surfaced now, after Geza’s fallout with the ruling party.
In a video shared by ZANU PF on social media, Machacha, while addressing party members at an undisclosed location, revealed that he is related to Geza. He said:
<blockquote>
I acknowledge that Geza is my uncle. You heard him rant that l am his nephew, yes, it’s true. I am not speaking of a person that l am not familiar with. We were together at Chimoio during the war.
</blockquote>
Machacha claimed that Geza never spent a single day at Chimoio Camp, instead focusing on stealing from the logistics warehouse and reselling goods to villagers from nearby settlements. He said:
<blockquote>
There was a big hall which served as a logistics warehouse where clothes for guerilla fighters were stored. Bombshell would go there and steal jeans and shirts, which he would go and sell in the villages or exchange for beer or cigarettes.
He literally never spent a single day in camp. Each morning, he would go around villages and get chicken, beer cigarettes and Saraveji.
</blockquote>
Machacha also claimed that after being caught stealing, Geza would receive corporal punishment, including flogging on the buttocks by security details at the camp, yet he remained unrepentant.
Machacha also alleged that when Geza was sent to Romania for military training, he falsely told Romanian authorities that he was the son of nationalist Robert Mugabe, which resulted in him being treated as a Very Important Person (VIP). He said:
<blockquote>
The correct fact was that Geza’s elder brother was married to Mugabe’s sister. He would be chauffeured in limousines around Romania.
</blockquote>
Machacha claimed that during a military operation in Mozambique, Geza tricked FRELIMO soldiers by intoxicating them before stealing the engines from their Scania trucks, which he then smuggled into Zimbabwe.
Geza was accused of raiding white commercial farmers’ cattle during the land reform and taking control of abattoirs, where he slaughtered the stolen cattle for sale.
Machacha also alleged that during the Chiadzwa diamond rush, Geza, who was appointed as Mbada Diamonds’ security officer, looted the diamonds.
The commissar suggested that Geza’s feud with President Mnangagwa started after he was disqualified from contesting the 2018 elections for the Sanyati constituency due to a pending rape case involving a local schoolgirl.
Given all these allegations, one might wonder how many of the surviving war veterans truly fought in the liberation struggle, as it seems that when a veteran falls out of favor with the party, they are often accused of not having participated in the war.

ZANU PF's Commissar accused Geza of being dishonest and greedy during the war in Mozambique. Geza stole from a warehouse and resold goods. He was accused of rape, murder, and theft. Machacha claimed Geza never fought at the war front. He received special treatment in Romania by falsely claiming to be Mugabe's son. Geza tricked soldiers and stole cattle during land reforms. He also looted diamonds. The feud with Mnangagwa started over a rape case. Allegations raise questions about war veterans' actions during the liberation struggle, as accusations often arise when falling out with the party.

ZANU PF's Commissar Says Geza Never Fought At War Front, But Lived In Luxury In Romania After Claiming He Was Mugabe's Son

A group of 98 suspected protesters, accused of participating in demonstrations in Harare on March 31 to demand President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s resignation, were denied bail on Thursday by Harare Magistrate Isheanesu Matova.
In his ruling, Magistrate Matova agreed with the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) that the group was likely to reoffend if released on bail. Said Matova:
<blockquote>
It is in the interest of justice that the accused persons should be detained on the grounds of public safety.
The release of the accused will likely cause commotion in the country and lead them to reconvene with their leader.
</blockquote>
Of the 98 accused, 95 are scheduled to return to court on April 24 for a routine appearance, while the remaining three will appear separately.
The State alleges that the group took part in an unlawful gathering with the intent to incite public violence.
The protests were reportedly organised by expelled ZANU PF Central Committee member and war veteran Blessed Geza, aimed at pressuring President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down.
According to prosecutors, on March 31, 2025, at approximately 9:20 AM, the suspects assembled at Robert Mugabe Square—commonly known as Freedom Square—with the intention of marching through the streets of Harare.
Prosecutors charge that the group also wanted to proceed “to the State House of Zimbabwe and forcibly remove the constitutionally elected President Emmerson Mnangagwa.”
<blockquote>
The accused were making their vows of removing the President saying ‘enough is enough, Mnangagwa must go, ED must go nezvigananda zvake. Madzibaba veshanduko huyai mutitungamirire, comrade Geza huyai mutitungamirire and whistled’.
Police officers who were deployed for maintenance of order observed about 200 people gathered and approached the group.
The accused piled stones, bricks and tyres along Robert Mugabe road. They threw stones towards the police officers whilst singing ‘Hatidi zvekupihwa order nemasasikamu’. They also took themselves pictures and videos which they posted on various social media platforms.
The accused 1 to 94 were arrested at the crime scene while accused 95 was arrested at his residence through identification from circulating pictures and videos.

A group of 98 people were arrested for protesting in Zimbabwe. The court denied them bail because they might cause trouble if released. The protesters wanted the President to resign. The protests were organized by someone who was expelled from the ruling party. The protesters gathered in a square and planned to march to the President's house. They threw stones at the police and posted pictures and videos on social media. Now they have to go back to court in April.

31 March Protesters Denied Bail

Members of Parliament — including those from the previous Parliament — are set to receive residential stands in Harare, less than two years after each was given a US$40,000 housing loan.
The stands will be allocated in the upmarket suburbs of Marlborough, Borrowdale Central, and Greystone Park.
ZANU PF Chief Whip Pupurai Togarepi confirmed the development, saying the initiative is being rolled out across cities and provinces.
Togarepi added that the Minister of Local Government and Public Works, Daniel Garwe, has already written to various local authorities, instructing them to allocate land to MPs for the construction of their homes. He said:
<blockquote>
The MPs will pay for the stands, with the strategy being to remove MPs from hotels.
</blockquote>
Reports indicate that the land being allocated to Members of Parliament in Ward 16 in Marlborough was originally reserved for the construction of a community centre. Local residents were reportedly on the verge of beginning the project when the land was reallocated.
This latest land allocation has sparked outrage and is being widely viewed as an attempt to placate MPs, just a week after outspoken war veteran Blessed Geza publicly called for President Mnangagwa’s impeachment. 
Geza has been demanding Mnangagwa’s immediate resignation, accusing him of enabling widespread corruption by those close to him.
Further controversy surrounds the fact that some of the MPs set to benefit from the land had already received a minimum of US$40,000 in 2022, presented as housing loans. Cabinet Ministers, by comparison, were given US$500,000, while Deputy Ministers and Judges were also allocated huge sums under the same scheme.
Marondera Central legislator Caston Matewu (CCC), whose name appeared on a list of beneficiaries, confirmed the reports on social media but said he had declined the offer.
Other CCC MPs listed as beneficiaries include Bridget Nyandoro, Nohlahla Mlotswa, Sengezo Tshabangu, Charles Moyo, and Julia Makuwire.

Members of Parliament are going to get more perks, like residential stands in fancy suburbs in Harare. They already got $40,000 for housing loans. The stands will be in Marlborough, Borrowdale Central, and Greystone Park. The MPs have to pay for the stands to build their homes, so they don't have to stay in hotels. Some people are upset about this because the land was supposed to be for a community center. This is happening after some people called for President Mnangagwa to be impeached. Some MPs, like Caston Matewu, have said no to the offer of the stands.

US$40K Not Enough? MPs Offered More Perks As Bribery Claims Swirl

War veteran and former ZANU PF Central Committee member, Blessed Runesu Geza, also known as “Comrade Bombshell,” has faced a setback in his attempt to impeach President Emmerson Mnangagwa this month after Parliament adjourned until 6 May 2025.
On 8 April 2025, both the National Assembly and the Senate met briefly for about seven minutes to make announcements before adjourning until 6 May. The Houses had previously sat on 3 April and adjourned to 8 April.
The adjournment is likely due to the Easter holiday and the upcoming Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF), which will take place in Bulawayo.
Geza had previously expressed his intention to introduce the impeachment motion this week, stating that “the die has been cast” and that “the motion is already in motion.”
However, with the adjournment, Geza will now have to wait nearly a month before he can formally introduce the motion in the National Assembly—assuming he has a member of Parliament to move it.
For a motion to appear on the Parliament Order Paper, it must be moved by an MP and seconded by another. At present, there is no indication of who will move or second the motion on Geza’s behalf.

Geza, who wanted to impeach President Mnangagwa, faced a setback as Parliament closed until May 6. The adjournment was likely due to Easter and a trade fair. Geza wanted to introduce the motion this week, but now has to wait a month. He needs an MP to move and second the motion, but it's unclear who will do it. Geza's impeachment bid is on hold for now.

Geza’s Attempt To Impeach Mnangagwa Hits Setback As Parliament Adjourns

The government has dismissed fugitive war veteran Blessed Geza’s attempt to introduce a motion in the National Assembly to impeach President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
On Sunday, the Minister of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services, Jenfan Muswere, asserted that the impeachment attempt would fail due to a lack of cross-party support, adding that the grounds for the proposed impeachment were based on falsehoods.
Muswere dismissed the former ZANU PF Central Committee member as a “fugitive terrorist, whose nom de guerre is Cde Bombshell,” but remarked, “there is nothing bombshell about him; he is just an empty shell.” Said Muswere:
<blockquote>
The so-called impeachment paper being circulated by Geza is of no value and not worth the paper it is written on. It’s not even worth the time and energy to read it.
The people of Zimbabwe and their Members of Parliament are solidly behind their President whom they overwhelmingly elected in 2023. That impeachment will never succeed.
</blockquote>
Last week, a ZANU PF faction opposed to Mnangagwa released a draft impeachment motion, alleging his “inability to perform the functions of the office of President due to a lack of mental capacity” and corruption.
The motion was made public after Geza announced his group’s intention to pursue impeachment following recent protests.
Citing Section 97 of the Zimbabwean Constitution, the motion also accuses the President of “willful violation of the Constitution” due to this alleged lack of mental capacity.
The draft motion claims that Mnangagwa is suffering from “severe cognitive decline” resulting from a medically diagnosed condition of “vascular dementia.”
It further alleges that this condition has caused “persistent and recurrent cognitive deficits, failures, and relapses,” rendering him incapable of fulfilling his presidential duties. Part of the motion reads:
<blockquote>
Whereas section 97 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe provides for the removal of the President from office on any of the five (5) grounds set out in section 97(1) (a) to (e).
Whereas circumstances and events have arisen as well as facts ascertained from medical teams dealing with the situation of the mental health and capacity of the President, that the President as of this day the 30th of March 2025 has been physically ascertained and medically confirmed to be exhibiting severe cognitive decline, affecting both long and short memory and thinking, judgment and behavior.
</blockquote>
However, Muswere asserted that Mnangagwa’s support spans across the political divide, with many opposition MPs also backing him.
He described Geza’s grounds for impeachment as a “vexatious figment of his imagination that will never see the light of day.” Said Muswere:
<blockquote>
That piece of trash being circulated amounts to nothing. ZANU PF has a majority in Parliament and Honourable members of the august House across the political divide appreciate the great work that has been achieved by the Second Republic, led by His Excellency, Cde Dr President E.D. Mnangagwa.
Geza is in hiding and wanted to use data to foment an uprising that never succeeded as the peace-loving people of Zimbabwe refused to be used to drive agendas they are not part of. He is wanted by the police to answer for his treasonous activities.
</blockquote>

The government said Geza's plan to impeach the president won't work because it is based on lies. Geza's group accused the president of being mentally unfit, but the government says it's not true. They said the president has support from both his party and some opposition members. The government called Geza a fugitive and said he is wanted by the police for being a troublemaker. The government thinks Geza's plan is worthless and won't succeed because many people support the president.

Government Dismisses Geza's Impeachment Motion As "Stack Of Lies"

Outspoken war veteran Blessed Runesu Geza, also known as Comrade Bombshell, has accused businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei of causing problems in the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church in Zimbabwe.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, April 2, Geza said Tagwirei has damaged the church’s reputation. He said:
<blockquote>
You have destroyed the SDA church. There are clashes now in the SDA church because of you. Because of your greediness. You tarnish the SDA church’s image. Destroying all the dignity the church had. It is our church.
</blockquote>
Geza accused Tagwirei of benefiting from government contracts without proper financial contributions, alleging that the government covers any associated costs. He said:
<blockquote>
You’re being given government companies without paying any cent. If there is any money that is being paid, it is the government that pays on your behalf. You’re greedy. You’re a very toxic man.
</blockquote>
Prominent lawyer Advocate Thabani Mpofu, a member of the SDA church, said he does not agree with Tagwirei’s current moves. Said Mpofu:
<blockquote>
I do not represent or speak on behalf of the SDA Church. As an individual outside of its formal structures (and a mere Usher at best), I do not feel obligated to defend its actions or decisions, particularly regarding the Tagwirei issue, with which I personally disagree.
The nation must direct its concerns, which I feel are legitimate, to the church itself which has a moral obligation to address them. I share the concerns being raised by Zimbabweans; particularly as recently articulated by Elder Geza.
On the question of how this country must be run, my views align with those of the Catholic Bishops.
</blockquote>
Tagwirei has been accused of causing division in the SDA church in Harare by using his financial influence to win over pastors and elders, making them loyal to him.
Recently, ZANU PF’s Harare Province recommended Tagwirei for a position in the party’s Central Committee—the top decision-making body when Congress is not in session.
Geza claimed that President Mnangagwa’s plan is to sideline Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and allow Tagwirei to replace him.
Reports suggest that the plan is for Tagwirei to first take over Chiwenga’s Vice President role, then be prepared to succeed Mnangagwa as president.
Geza, who has accused Tagwirei of corruption, vowed to stop what he believes is a plot by Mnangagwa and his wife, Auxillia, to help Tagwirei become president.

Blessed Geza says Kuda Tagwirei is causing problems in the SDA Church. Geza accused Tagwirei of damaging the church's reputation by being greedy. He said Tagwirei benefits from government contracts without paying, making the government cover costs. Lawyer Thabani Mpofu does not agree with Tagwirei's actions. Tagwirei is accused of causing division in the SDA Church in Harare. There are reports that Tagwirei could replace the Vice President and eventually become President with support from Mnangagwa and his wife. Geza vows to stop this plan.

Geza Says Kuda Tagwirei Has Tarnished SDA Church's Image

War veteran Blessed Runesu Geza, also known as Comrade Bombshell, announced that he and other colleagues opposed to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s third-term bid are now pursuing the impeachment route.
Impeachment is a legal process in which a public official, typically a president, is formally accused of wrongdoing or misconduct during their time in office. It is used to remove the official from their position if they are found guilty of serious offenses such as corruption, abuse of power, or violations of the law.
Speaking through his YouTube channel on Wednesday, 02 April, Geza said Mnangagwa is no longer mentally fit to lead the country. He said:
<blockquote>
Today, I am announcing a further step in our struggle to save Zimbabwe from Emmerson and his looting mafia. We have taken our struggle to another level. We are impeaching President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa. The die has been cast, and tomorrow we are setting this process in motion.
We are impeaching Emmerson on the grounds that he is no longer mentally fit to lead the country.
We are constitutionalists, so we are using the Constitution to rescue the country. Section 97(1)(d) of the Constitution provides for the removal of a president on the grounds of inability to perform presidential functions due to a lack of mental capacity.
</blockquote>
Geza claimed that President Mnangagwa suffers from vascular dementia and is no longer capable of effectively carrying out his presidential duties.
Vascular dementia is a condition caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell damage. This can impair cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and problem-solving. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
Mnangagwa is suffering from vascular dementia. We have copies of his medical results. His doctors have already informed him, his family is aware, and the looting mafia is also aware.”
Unfortunately, some members of his family and the looting mafia, led by Kudakwashe Tagwirei, are exploiting his condition. They are taking advantage of his memory loss and confusion to make him sign documents that facilitate their corruption and looting.
Because of this vascular dementia, Mnangagwa is no longer aware of what is happening around him. It is so serious that last Thursday, he even forgot who July Moyo was or which ministry he runs. He argues with his aides about whether he is at home or at the office—that is how bad it has become.”
As a result, vultures are circling around him, looting in his name, selling state-owned companies, and even hiring and firing government officials on his behalf. That is how bad things have gotten.
</blockquote>
Geza asserted that some unelected people are now wielding presidential powers and making decisions, including awarding government tenders, without any official mandate. He said:
<blockquote>
Dubious characters, whom you didn’t elect, are now exercising presidential powers. They follow him to his farm to distribute government tenders in his name. They seize land in his name. They even appoint and dismiss army generals on his behalf. It has become a free-for-all for the criminals surrounding him.
</blockquote>
In May 2018, Mnangagwa told ZANU-PF members that he had received intelligence indicating some aspiring MPs were plotting to impeach him once elected.
In November 2017, the Parliament of Zimbabwe initiated an impeachment process against former President Robert Mugabe. 
However, Mugabe resigned before the proceedings could be completed, following the military’s actions that rendered him incommunicado.

Comrade Bombshell Geza wants to impeach President Mnangagwa because he says Mnangagwa is mentally unfit to lead Zimbabwe. Geza claims Mnangagwa has vascular dementia, which affects his memory and decision-making. Geza and others are using the Constitution to try to remove Mnangagwa from office. They accuse Mnangagwa of being manipulated by corrupt people who are taking advantage of his condition. They say these people are making decisions in Mnangagwa's name and looting the country. Impeachment is a legal process to remove a president for serious wrongdoing. Mnangagwa's opponents are now trying to use impeachment to get him out of power.

Comrade Bombshell Geza Pushes For Impeachment Of President Mnangagwa

Former ZANU PF Central Committee member and war veteran, Blessed Geza, has claimed that Kudakwashe Tagwirei wants to become Zimbabwe’s next president through underhanded means.
Tagwirei, a businessman with significant political connections within ZANU PF, is known for his influence in the country’s fuel, mining, and financial sectors.
He is the founder and CEO of Sakunda Holdings, a company involved in energy and infrastructure projects.
Recently, ZANU PF’s Harare Province recommended Tagwirei for a position in the party’s Central Committee—the ruling party’s top decision-making body when Congress is not in session, with powers to amend the constitution, implement policies, and oversee party and government activities.
During an address to the nation on Monday evening, Geza alleged that President Mnangagwa’s plan was to marginalise Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and allow Tagwirei to replace him.
According to reports, the plan is for Tagwirei to first take Chiwenga’s position as Vice President before being groomed as Mnangagwa’s successor.
Geza, who has accused Tagwirei of corruption, vowed to thwart what he claims is a plan being orchestrated by Mnangagwa and his wife, Auxillia, to elevate Tagwirei to the presidency. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
You’re being given government companies without paying any cent. If there is any money that is being paid, it is the government that pays on your behalf. You’re greed. You’re a very toxic man.
You’re not entering politics. Don’t undermine us. Thousands and thousands of people died for this country. And you want to be the next President.
You’re being influenced by Mnangagwa and Auxillia. You want to be President through the back door. That will not happen.
</blockquote>
Geza has repeatedly called for President Mnangagwa to step down and has publicly expressed his support for Vice President Chiwenga to succeed him.

Blessed Geza says Kuda Tagwirei wants to be President of Zimbabwe in a sneaky way. Tagwirei is a big businessman in fuel, mining, and finance. He is recommended for a top position in the ruling party. Geza thinks President Mnangagwa wants Tagwirei to replace Vice President Chiwenga. Geza accuses Tagwirei of corruption and vows to stop him from becoming president. Geza wants President Mnangagwa to step down and support Chiwenga to be the next president instead. Geza thinks Tagwirei is being controlled by Mnangagwa and his wife.

Geza Vows To Stop Kuda Tagwirei From Becoming Zimbabwe’s Next President

Ninety-eight (98) people arrested for their alleged involvement in the March 31 anti-government protests appeared in court on Tuesday, April 1, facing charges of participating in a gathering with the intent to promote public violence.
Of the group, 95 were arrested in an open space near the Rainbow Towers Hotel, known as Freedom Square. They were brought before Harare provincial magistrate Isheunesu Matova, who remanded them to April 10 for a bail ruling.
The remaining three were arrested at the CoppaCabana bus terminus and appeared before provincial magistrate Ruth Moyo, who remanded them to April 4 for a bail ruling and trial.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) opposed bail for all the accused.
Lawyers representing the 95 detainees and prosecutors will submit written bail arguments, with the court scheduled to deliver its decision on April 10.
Prosecutors allege that on March 31, 2025, at around 9:20 AM, the group gathered at Freedom Square intending to march through the streets of Harare.
They are also accused of planning to march to the State House to forcibly remove President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is constitutionally elected. <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/98-in-court-on-public-order-charges-over-march-31-protests/">The NPA said</a>:
<blockquote>
The accused were making their vows of removing the president saying ‘enough is enough, Mnangagwa must go, ED must go nezvigananda zvake. Madzibaba Veshanduko huyai mutitungamirire, Comrade Geza huyai mutitungamirire’ and whistled.
Police officers who were deployed for maintenance of order observed about two hundred 200 people gathered and approached the group.
The accused threw stones, bricks and tyres along Robert Mugabe Road. They threw stones towards the police officers whilst singing ‘Hatidi zvekupihwa order nemasasikamu.’ They also took themselves pictures and videos which they posted on various social media platforms.
The accused one to 94 were arrested at the crime scene while accused 95 was arrested at his residence through identification from circulating pictures and videos.
</blockquote>
Blessed Geza, a war veteran and vocal government critic, called for a nationwide uprising on March 31, 2025, aiming to force President Emmerson Mnangagwa out of power.
His movement gained attention, but instead of mass protests, the day was marked by nationwide stayaways, where many citizens refrained from going to work.
However, Geza abruptly called off the protests, citing intelligence reports that Major Sean Mnangagwa, the president’s son, was allegedly planning to plant bombs and frame him for terrorism.
Geza, who was expelled from ZANU-PF, has been vocal about corruption and economic mismanagement under Mnangagwa’s rule.

Ninety-eight people were arrested in Harare for protesting against the government on March 31. They appeared in court and were charged with causing public violence. The National Prosecuting Authority opposed bail for all the accused. Prosecutors say the group planned to forcibly remove President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The protests were organized by Blessed Geza, a critic of the government. He later called off the protests due to alleged threats of violence. Geza has criticized corruption and economic problems under Mnangagwa's leadership. The court will make a decision on bail on April 10.

98 People Arrested In Harare Over 31 March Protests

Former Mt Pleasant MP, Fadzayi Mahere (CCC), has criticized the government for its harsh and often violent responses to opposition protests, highlighting the frequent use of abductions, torture, and arrests on false charges, particularly when the protests are linked to former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa.
She pointed out that while the government has historically cracked down on opposition members and activists, no such actions have been taken against people from the ruling party, even when they call for unrest.
Mahere’s comments after on March 31, former ZANU PF Central Committee member and war veteran Blessed Geza, along with some other war veterans, called for an “uprising,” but none of the instigators have been arrested.
Mahere cited several cases where opposition figures, particularly those linked to Chamisa, have been arrested, tortured, or jailed without trial after being suspected of organising protests. She wrote on X:
There’s an unpopular truth that’s missing in the discourse. If the main opposition had organised a protest, key actors would have been abducted and tortured well ahead of the protests.
Any convenors would have been arrested on bogus charges. CIO agents would have been stalking people’s cars. They would have remained in jail for hundreds of days with no bail.
The whole reason Jameson Timba and over 70 others were tortured and arrested is because the regime thought they were planning a protest ahead of the SADC Summit.
Amos Chibaya with a number of opposition members has very recently been wrongly convicted because of a meeting held in Budiriro where the regime thought a protest was being planned.
Job Sikhala was arrested and detained for over 500 days because they thought he was planning a demonstration in Nyatsime in response to Moreblessing Ali’s gruesome murder.
Takudzwa Ngadziore was abducted on his way to Parliament because they thought he was mobilising young people to demonstrate.
The “MDC Trio”, that is, Joana Mamombe Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova were abducted, tortured and sexually assaulted because they were part of a hunger protest.
Womberraiishe Nhende was abducted and tortured because the regime believed a protest was in the works and he was a key mobilizer.
I could go as there are numerous examples of this.
While there may have been police on the streets yesterday, we did not see the usual arbitrary arrests, beatings, torture, abductions and prolonged illegal detentions we normally see when the opposition plans or is thought to be planning a protest.
There is something that hits different when people aligned to Nelson Chamisa plan any protests against the mass poverty, injustice and corruption of ZANU PF.
We need new leaders.

Fadzayi Mahere says the government treats opposition protesters harshly, but not ruling party supporters. She says opposition members are arrested, tortured, and jailed on false charges when they plan protests. But when ruling party members call for an uprising, they are not punished. Mahere gives examples of opposition members who have been mistreated for planning protests. She says the government is unfair and needs new leaders.

Mahere Slams Government’s Double Standards In Responding To Protests

Zimbabwe experienced a “shutdown” on Monday, March 31, as people stayed away from cities, following a call for demonstrations by Blessed Geza, a former member of the ZANU PF party.
Most businesses in major cities like Harare were closed, the streets were empty, and schoolchildren stayed home. However, rural areas were not as affected.
There was a heavy police presence in urban areas, and clashes occurred in Harare when police used force to disperse protesters near the Harare Magistrates’ Court. The police fired tear gas to break up the crowd, causing protesters to scatter.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200040237/protests-shut-down-zimbabwe">NewsDay</a>, political analyst Ibbo Mandaza said that the success of the stayaway sent a strong message to the government. Said Mandaza:
<blockquote>
The massive stay away is a massive political statement by the masses of Zimbabwe. Those in power have reason to fear and likewise the leaders of the opposition who are now left behind, having failed and even abused the high expectations of Zimbabweans ready for change yesterday.
</blockquote>
Former University of Zimbabwe lecturer Eldred Masunungure told NewsDay that although the organisers made a mistake by urging Zimbabweans to confront a “vicious” government ready to stop demonstrations, the fact that people ignored the government’s call to go about their daily activities was still a success for the organisers. He said:
<blockquote>
It also remains clear that Zimbabweans are not ready to engage or confront the government forces like they used to in 2000.
It was also clear that there was no ultimate winner because the people stayed home, and staying away was also a statement from the ordinary people.
</blockquote>
In another interview with the Associated Press, Masunungure said that Geza will have a hard time getting people to support him because they might see him as part of the ZANU PF party. He said:
<blockquote>
Geza is the face of war veterans who are disillusioned with Mnangagwa. In a way, he is also filling the void left by the weak opposition.
But he will struggle to mobilise people to his cause because they may view him as part and parcel of ZANU PF, and they view this as an internal fight among former comrades.
</blockquote>
Geza, also called Comrade Bombshell, has become popular, with tens of thousands of people watching his YouTube videos.
He has called for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to resign, accusing him of corruption. The police have accused Geza of treason and say they are looking for him.

Zimbabwe had a big protest because people listened to Blessed Geza and stayed away from work and school. The cities were empty, and businesses closed. The police clashed with protesters in Harare and used tear gas. A political analyst said this protest showed the government that people want change. Even though Geza is popular, some people think he is part of the government. Geza wants the president to leave because of corruption. The police are looking for Geza because they say he committed treason.

Geza's Call For Protests Shuts Down Zimbabwe

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has dismissed videos circulating on social media that show a group of people allegedly barricading roads with stones around Robert Mugabe Square in Harare.
Multiple local publications shared the videos and images, which appeared to show people blocking roads at the square.
However, in a statement issued on Monday afternoon, 31 March, the ZRP warned against the spread of what they called “old videos” aimed at creating unnecessary alarm and distress across the country. Police said:
<blockquote>
The ZRP reiterates that the situation in Harare CBD is normal and calm including at Robert Mugabe Square where some social media sites are falsely claiming that there are people barricading roads with stones. This is not correct. 
The public should ignore calls by individuals and syndicates through some social media sites to engage in unlawful public gathering activities. 
The Police warn social media sites against the circulation of old videos with the aim of causing alarm and despondency in the country.
</blockquote>

The Zimbabwe Police say the videos of a protest at Robert Mugabe Square are old and not happening now. They warn people not to believe everything they see on social media. The police say the situation in Harare is normal and there are no protests happening. They also say not to listen to calls for protests on social media. They want everyone to stay calm and not spread false information. So, the videos are old and people should not worry about any protests at the square.

ZRP Dismisses Viral Videos Of Robert Mugabe Square Demo, Calls Videos "Old Footage"

Zimbabwe police fired teargas to disperse  a few protesters that gathered in Harare at Freedom Square this morning. The square is an open field that lies between Rainbow Towers on one side, and Interpol and the Harare Magistrate’s Court on the other.
The few protestors gathered in response to a call by fugitive War Veteran, Blessed Geza who has called on President Mnangagwa to resign. Most of the city centre was however quiet as most Zimbabwean chose to stay at home, leaving the CBD empty. School students also largely stayed away from school.
The government had assured citizens that the 31st of March would be a usual day with people and businesses encouraged to go about their normal activities as they would have protection of the police. This assurance though has largely been ignored by Zimbabweans.
In a statement on X today, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said officers are conducting patrols to maintain order, urging the public to go about their daily activities without fear.
<blockquote>
“The ZRP assures the public that the situation in the country is peaceful. As police officers conduct patrols, the public should feel free to embark on their day-to-day activities”
</blockquote>
Transport operators, both for commuters and also long distance buses, also largely stayed off the road. It’s not clear if this is in support of the anti-government protests or fear of having their vehicles vandalised.
Geza reportedly has the backing of a faction in Zanu PF opposed to a push to extend Mnangagwa’s presidency beyond the constitutional 2 term limit.

Zimbabwe police used teargas to break up a small group of protesters in Harare. The protesters were calling for President Mnangagwa to resign. Many people stayed at home, and students didn't go to school. The government said it would be a normal day, but people didn't listen. Police are patrolling to keep things calm. Public transportation was also affected. Some people support the protests, while others may be afraid of violence. Geza, the leader of the protests, has support from a group in Zanu PF who don't want Mnangagwa to stay as president for too long.

31 March Protests: Police Disperses Some Protesters in Harare

The Zimbabwe Teachers Association (ZIMTA) has distanced itself from the mass protests planned by some disgruntled war veterans on 31 March. ZIMTA has said teachers should report for work as usual, since the day is a normal working day.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/unsanctioned-protests-reckless-retrogressive/">The Herald</a>, ZIMTA Secretary-General Goodwill Taderera said teachers do not take part in unauthorised protests. Instead, they use the National Joint Negotiating Council platform to express their concerns. Said Taderera:
<blockquote>
We have totally nothing to do with that. We are not a political party. We are law-abiding citizens. If we have our issues, we know where to go. 
We know that we discuss through the National Joint Negotiating Council. And if we have any issues, that’s where we direct them.
Monday is a working day so our teachers will be at work. We have no instructions to make our teachers not to go to work. They should just report for duty. It’s a normal day as far as we are concerned.
</blockquote>
Blessed Geza, a former ZANU-PF Central Committee member and war veteran, has called for mass protests on March 31 to demand the resignation of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. 
Geza accuses Mnangagwa’s government of corruption, economic mismanagement, and cronyism, which he claims have led to poverty and hardship in Zimbabwe.
Geza’s call for protests has gained attention, especially after his dramatic return to social media, where he urged Zimbabweans to join what he called an “unstoppable wave” of demonstrations. 
He has also invited opposition leaders to join the movement, though some have distanced themselves from his call.
In response, the government has deployed anti-riot police across the country and placed security forces on high alert, showing the seriousness with which it is treating the situation.

ZIMTA, a teachers' association, says teachers should work on March 31, not join protests by war veterans. They use a different platform to express concerns. War veteran Blessed Geza wants protests for President Mnangagwa to resign due to corruption and poverty in Zimbabwe. Some opposition leaders are invited, but government is prepared with police and security forces. Teachers should work as usual and not join unauthorized protests, says ZIMTA.

ZIMTA: Teachers Should Work As Usual On March 31

Police have urged the public to ignore individuals and groups attempting to undermine peace and security in the country, including those using social media to spread alarm and create despondency among Zimbabweans.
In a statement on Thursday, March 27, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said officers have been deployed to maintain law and order in both urban and rural areas across the country.
Nyathi called on Zimbabweans to cooperate with the deployed officers and report anyone inciting violence or disrupting the smooth flow of traffic. The statement reads:
<blockquote>
27TH MARCH 2025
THE ZRP READY TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ZIMBABWEANS
The Zimbabwe Republic Police acknowledges the peaceful environment currently obtaining in the country and urges the public to continue undertaking social and economic activities without any disturbances.
In the same vein, the Police has deployed members to maintain law and order in both urban and rural set up in all parts of the country.
The law will definitely take its course against individuals and groups who seek to undermine peace and security in the country, including those using the social media to cause alarm and despondency among Zimbabweans.
The public should therefore cooperate with the deployed police officers and report anyone inciting violence and interference with the smooth traffic flow in the country.
The public should feel free to report criminal acts and any form of public disturbance on National Complaints Desk number (0242) 703631 or WhatsApp number 0712 800197 or report at any Police Station.
</blockquote>
The ZRP statement comes just hours after fugitive former ZANU PF Central Committee member Blessed Runesu Geza released a new video reiterating calls for mass protests to force President Emmerson Mnangagwa to resign on March 31.
Geza appeared in the YouTube video on Wednesday from an undisclosed location, wearing military fatigues and urging people “from Plumtree to Mutare, from Zambezi to Limpopo” to “flood the streets.”

The police in Zimbabwe want people to ignore social media messages telling them to be violent and cause trouble. The police are working to keep the country safe and peaceful. They want people to report anyone encouraging violence or disrupting traffic. People should keep doing their normal activities without being scared. If they see something wrong, they can call the police to report it. The police are ready to take action against anyone trying to cause trouble. There is one person who is trying to start protests, but the police are working to stop that. People should stay calm and not listen to messages promoting violence.

ZRP Urge Zimbabweans To Ignore Social Media Incitement To Public Violence

Zimbabweans have been warned to be wary of being used in the ZANU PF succession battle, which may spill into the streets after some former party members called for mass protests on March 31.
Political observers believe ordinary Zimbabweans were exploited during the so-called military-assisted transition in 2017, with only a few individuals benefiting from Robert Mugabe’s ouster while the general population was marginalised.
The removal of Lieutenant-General Anselem Sanyatwe from the helm of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) on Tuesday, and expelled former ZANU PF Central Committee member Blessed “Bombshell” Geza’s outbursts on social media on Wednesday, have been seen as escalating ZANU PF factional infighting.
The NewsHawks reported that a state security official dealing with the current situation, including the planned March 31 protests, said that people may be the biggest losers again in the latest round of the ZANU PF succession battle.
The official, who was not named for professional and security reasons, is quoted as saying:
<blockquote>
This is an internal ZANU PF matter, with legitimate public interest. The question is, who benefits from these protests?
The November 2017 coup, which led to the ousting of President Robert Mugabe, was initially celebrated by many Zimbabweans who thronged the streets, seeing it as a chance for change and a break from Mugabe’s authoritarian rule and economic woes.
However, as time has shown, the coup ultimately benefited the military and the ruling elite only, with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former Mugabe ally, taking power.
The promised reforms and improvements in the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans have been slow to materialise, and many have been left feeling disappointed and disillusioned.
Now, with the looming protests on March 31, there are concerns that history might repeat itself, and the people might again be the losers.
The demonstrations, which are being driven by widespread discontent with the government’s handling of the economy and corruption, might provide an opportunity for the military or other opportunistic, powerful interests to exploit the situation and further entrench their power.
It’s a worrying scenario, and one that underscores the need for Zimbabweans to remain vigilant and ensure that people are the main beneficiaries of whatever demonstrations or transition or change in leadership is driven by the needs and aspirations of the people, rather than the interests of the powerful and elite.
The planned street protests in Zimbabwe on March 31 have sparked concerns that they might be exploited by the army as a pretext to seize power.
Given this context, the planned protests on March 31 could be a volatile situation, and it’s essential to monitor the developments closely, ask who is behind this, what their agenda is and who will benefit.
It is important to ask these questions before people rush into the streets to fight wars they don’t understand and know their origins.
</blockquote>
Geza, a former Sanyati MP and ZANU PF Central Committee member, claims that individuals close to Mnangagwa are looting the country for personal gain, while the majority of Zimbabweans continue to suffer in extreme poverty.
However, top security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed concerns to The NewsHawks about the “real motive” behind the loud calls to oust Mnangagwa.
They warned that the situation resembles the empty “Mugabe must go” slogan from the past, lacking a clear plan for what would follow or how to secure the people’s interests.
The security officials also voiced concern over the country being swept into an internal ZANU PF issue, without clarifying how such a shift would improve the living conditions and material well-being of the people. Said the official:
<blockquote>
Who benefits from this? That question must be asked upfront, not later. Yes, Geza has tried to seize the moment and opportunity of socio-economic disgruntlement around the country to fuel and incite anger against Mnangagwa’s government, but do you think people benefit from this? Ordinary people don’t seem enthusiastic about street protests and may just stay away. 
It is because they don’t trust the process and don’t want to be used again, as happened in 2017.
While the disgruntled war veterans have gained a lot of popularity and traction with Geza’s incessant attacks, that whole cabal, fronting some wounded interests and comrades, has made some strategic blunders by revealing why they want regime change.
It is all about themselves, not the people. They are fighting for their time to eat. It might be difficult to mobilise the people for March 31. Yes, people are suffering, but they don’t want to be used. That is clear. 
The situation is made worse by the fact that people like popular opposition leader Nelson Chamisa and those within his latent structures are not involved in this.
In our assessment, based on the current situation and past experiences, Zimbabweans are not only wiser-after they were used, shortchanged and abandoned in 2017-but also contextual and discerning.
</blockquote>

Zimbabweans are warned to be careful during the ZANU PF struggle for power. Some want marches on March 31, but it may not be good for ordinary people. In the past, only a few people benefited when Mugabe was removed in 2017. Now, with more protests, the same thing could happen again. Some powerful people may take advantage of the situation to gain more power. It's important for Zimbabweans to be cautious and make sure marches benefit them, not just the elite. They need to think carefully before joining any protests.

March 31 Protests: Zimbabweans Warned Against Being Exploited In ZANU PF Succession Battle

Former ZANU PF central committee member, Blessed Runesu Geza, says there is no justification for 16 million Zimbabweans to suffer at the hands of what he referred to as criminals surrounding President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
On Wednesday, 26 March 2025, Geza released a new video reiterating his calls for “an uprising” to force Mnangagwa to resign on March 31. He declared:
<blockquote>
We want an uprising from Plumtree to Mutare, from Zambezi to Limpopo, everyone should flood the streets, Mnangagwa must go.
</blockquote>
Geza, who is wanted by the police for allegedly inciting violence and civil unrest through his public statements, appeared in a YouTube video from an undisclosed location wearing military fatigues.
In the video, he named what he referred to as “criminals around Mnangagwa” and a second group of “political criminals.”
The first list included businessmen Wicknell Chivayo, Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Scott Sakupwanya, and Mnangagwa’s wife, Auxilia. He said:
<blockquote>
We’re people of action, you need to buy data because you will see the action we will take about these criminals.
They’re not many in number, on the other hand it’s 16 million of us. Why should we suffer at the hands of a few?
It’s sad what’s happening, you now even hear people saying colonial rule was better. All this is being caused by these political criminals.
We’re dealing with Mnangagwa on March 31 but these criminals we’re going after them starting from now.
These people think they’re very clever, but they’re going to regret. It’s they who will in the end voluntarily go to Mnangagwa and say ‘please go now, we’re suffering’.
</blockquote>
Geza, who claims to represent a group of war veterans, said they were “very sorry that we let you down” after years of backing the ZANU PF leadership.
Geza has urged opposition leaders to join his call for action, but questions remain about his democratic credentials.
During a ZANU PF politburo meeting in Harare on Wednesday, Mnangagwa said he had enough support from “patriotic citizens to squash efforts by malcontents and rogue, delusional elements bent on disturbing our peace, unity, and harmony.”

A man named Blessed Geza is angry because he thinks only a few people in Zimbabwe are causing problems for everyone else. He wants President Mnangagwa to resign, so he called for a big protest on March 31st. Geza named some people he thinks are causing trouble and wants to go after them. He says it's not fair for 16 million people to suffer because of a few. Geza used to support the president but changed his mind. Some people are not sure if he is the right person to lead the protest. The president says he has enough support to stop the protest and keep the country peaceful.

Geza: 16 Million Zimbabweans Deserve Better Than Suffer At The Hands Of A Few

Nelson Chamisa, the former leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has distanced himself from the planned mass protests on March 31, 2025, called by expelled ZANU PF Central Committee member, Blessed Runesu Geza.
Geza’s call for protests is in response to a push by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s loyalists to extend his second and final term from 2028 to 2030.
Last week, Geza, who is wanted by the police for alleged theft and other crimes, mentioned several opposition figures, including Chamisa, former Finance Minister Tendai Biti, and former MP Job Sikhala, claiming that they supported the protests aimed at pushing Mnangagwa out of office sooner.
In a statement made via YouTube from an undisclosed location last Tuesday, Geza suggested these opposition figures were backing the protest.
However, Chamisa clarified that while he is open to constructive dialogue with any party, he has not been involved in any discussions related to the protests or recent events. He wrote on social media:
<blockquote>
I want to clarify that my door is always open to speak with anyone who reaches out to me for constructive conversations and nation building, but I have not been involved in recent dialogues with anyone. I do not want to be made the focal point of things that have nothing to do with me.
</blockquote>
Geza, a former intelligence operative, claimed that some prominent opposition politicians support Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s potential bid to succeed Mnangagwa. He said:
<blockquote>
We have spoken with all political players. The likes of Chamisa, Sikhala, Biti, Komichi and Mwonzora. We did not leave anyone behind. We have agreed on the way forward. And among all these people, no one does not like Chiwenga.
</blockquote>
Political commentators are now questioning who is telling the truth – Geza or Chamisa. Was Geza name-dropping opposition figures to gain public support for his plans, or is it simply “plausible deniability” on Chamisa’s part?

Nelson Chamisa is not supporting protests planned for March 31 by Blessed Runesu Geza, who wants to push President Mnangagwa out sooner. Geza said Chamisa and other opposition leaders support the protests, but Chamisa denied being involved. Geza claims opposition leaders like Chamisa support Vice President Chiwenga, but there are doubts about his claims. People are wondering who is telling the truth - Geza or Chamisa. Chamisa said he is open to discussions but has not been involved in recent events. It is unclear if Geza was using opposition figures' names for support or if Chamisa is denying involvement for a reason.

Chamisa Distances Himself From Geza's Call For March 31 Protests

Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services Minister Jenfan Muswere has urged Zimbabweans to disregard the “delusional rumblings” of former ZANU PF member Blessed Geza.
In a statement on Wednesday night (19 March), Muswere declared that no amount of baseless criticism would cause despondency in the country. He said:
<blockquote>
Zimbabweans are encouraged to continue ignoring Geza’s delusional rumblings.
His polemic and reactionary grandstanding is a clear misdirection of ambition.
Geza is a divisionalist and factionalist hell-bent on sowing seeds of division, but all his efforts will not bear fruit.
He is a fugitive from justice and it will not be long before his inflammatory statements are dealt with.
</blockquote>
Muswere aidt law enforcement agents are on high alert and ready to deal with anyone attempting to create unrest in the country.
Geza was expelled from ZANU PF earlier this month after publicly calling for Mnangagwa’s resignation, accusing him of corruption, misgovernance, and failing to address Zimbabwe’s economic challenges.
He is facing several charges, including undermining the authority of the President for making public statements critical of President Mnangagwa’s leadership.
He is also accused of inciting public violence by allegedly encouraging protests and demonstrations against the government, as well as theft.

Zimbabwe's government tells people to ignore what Blessed Geza says. Geza criticized the president and was kicked out of his party. The government says he is trying to cause problems and create divisions. They warn that law enforcement is ready to stop any unrest. Geza is facing serious charges for his actions. The government is not happy with his behavior and wants to stop him from causing trouble. They urge people to focus on positive things instead of listening to Geza's negative talk.
