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

A 34-year-old man has been in prison for nearly a month after his arrest in February for allegedly making derogatory remarks about President Emmerson Mnangagwa and praising Blessed Runesu Geza, a war veteran and former ZANU PF Central Committee member.
According to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), Alfred Ngonidzaishe Machakaire, a resident of Gowo village in Chief Makoni’s area in Inyati, Makoni District, Manicaland province, has spent 24 days in police custody and at Reshape Prison in Manicaland.
Machakaire was arrested on February 24, charged with undermining the authority of or insulting President Mnangagwa under section 33(2)(a)(b) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
Prosecutors claim that Machakaire insulted President Mnangagwa during a verbal altercation with Leonard Chidemo, a ZANU PF Councillor for Ward 5 in Makoni North constituency.
The incident occurred at Mugadza Bottle Store at Runyange Business Centre in Chendambuya, where Machakaire allegedly asked Chidemo to buy him a beer.
When Chidemo refused, saying he had no money, Machakaire became upset and began shouting at the ZANU PF Councillor.
Prosecutors alleged that Machakaire insulted President Mnangagwa by saying: “You Chidemo, down with Mnangagwa, I am Geza, on the 31st, the country will be fine, Mnangagwa is a vagina, you have caused the death of people in the country.”
In addition to the insult, Machakaire allegedly praised Geza, a liberation war veteran and former ZANU PF member recently expelled from the party.
Machakaire’s case is one of many in Zimbabwe, where individuals have been arrested and prosecuted for allegedly undermining or insulting President Mnangagwa.
Machakaire is represented by Leonard Chigadza of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.

A man, Alfred Machakaire, was arrested for insulting President Mnangagwa and praising Geza. He spent 24 days in prison. He insulted the president in a verbal disagreement with a ZANU PF Councillor. He said bad things about the president and praised Geza. This has happened to many people in Zimbabwe. Leonard Chigadza is representing Machakaire.

34-Year-Old Man Detained For Insulting Mnangagwa And Praising Geza

National Prosecuting Authority on Wednesday, 26 February, dropped the charges against Basil Nyabadza, the former chairman of the Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (ARDA), before he could enter a plea.
Nyabadza is accused of defrauding Blessed Geza of US$1,362,000 in a land deal. Geza, a veteran of Zimbabwe’s War of Independence and a member of the ZANU PF Central Committee, is currently hiding because he faces charges of inciting violence, theft, and insulting the president.
As reported by <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/geza-loses-case/">The Herald</a>, prosecutor Anesu Chirenje told the court that Nyabadza would be summoned again once Geza is available to appear in court.
Nyabadza disagreed with this decision and wanted the charges to be read to him and the trial to begin.
However, the new magistrate, Donald Ndirowei, who replaced Tilda Mazhande after she stepped down in the morning, agreed with the State’s decision to drop the charges before the plea.
Dropping the charges before the plea means that the evidence could be used again if Nyabadza is tried in the future.
If the charges had been dropped after the plea, it would have been an automatic acquittal, and the evidence could not be used again.
Last week, Magistrate Mazhande had warned that she would remove Nyabadza from remand if Geza did not appear in court, but Mazhande later stepped down from the case for personal reasons.
It is alleged that on October 29, 2020, Geza purchased a 423,504-hectare piece of land from Nyabadza for US$1,362,000, with Geza granted exclusive rights to subdivide, develop, and sell the land.
Nyabadza reportedly misrepresented that the land had title deeds, promising to provide them within a month but never did.
While Geza was working on subdivision permits, he discovered that Nyabadza had sold the same land to Velda Estates.
Geza later learned that the sale agreement had been cancelled without his knowledge after attempting to resolve the matter with Nyabadza.

The National Prosecuting Authority dropped fraud charges against Basil Nyabadza because Blessed Geza, the person he's accused of defrauding, is not available to appear in court. Nyabadza wanted the trial to begin, but the new magistrate agreed to drop the charges before the plea. This means the evidence can be used again in the future. Nyabadza sold land to Geza, promising title deeds that were never provided. Geza later found out the land was sold to someone else, leading to the fraud charges. Geza is currently in hiding facing other charges.

Fraud Charges Dropped Against Nyabadza Pending Geza's Return

The controversial war veteran and ZANU PF Central Committee member Blessed Runesu Geza has refuted rumours that he has been arrested or gone into hiding.
In a message to HStv, Geza asserted that war veterans are prepared to drive change in the country and announced that he will soon hold a press conference to provide further clarification. He said:
<blockquote>
We are ready to bring change and no amount of threats and lies will derail the struggle. The signal is coming.
</blockquote>
Geza gained public attention several weeks ago when he openly criticised ZANU PF’s proposed constitutional amendment that would allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in office beyond 2028, after his second and final term ends.
Geza and his supporters have not only opposed the prospect of a third Mnangagwa term but have also demanded the President’s immediate resignation, accusing him of incompetence, corruption, nepotism, and cronyism.
However, Geza’s outspoken stance has drawn the ire of the state. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has filed criminal charges against him.
Last Wednesday, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi issued a statement saying that Geza was wanted for questioning in connection with four separate criminal charges.
Geza faces allegations of theft under Section 113 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act (Chapter 9: 23), related to the alleged theft and sale of three vehicles belonging to a complainant without consent.
He is also being charged with two counts of “Undermining the Authority of or Insulting the President” under Section 33 (2) (a) (ii) of the same Act.
Lastly, Geza faces a charge of “Incitement to Commit Public Violence” under Section 187 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act (Chapter 9: 23).
Nyathi further warned that anyone assisting Geza in evading police questioning would face arrest and prosecution.
Critics have raised concerns over the timing of the theft charges, suggesting that they could be politically motivated.
Some argue that Geza is being persecuted for challenging Mnangagwa, while others speculate that if the charges are genuine, then it proves that rogues and criminals are protected as long as they toe the party line.

Geza, a war veteran, says he is not arrested or hiding. He criticizes President Mnangagwa and demands his resignation. Police charge him with theft, insulting the President, and incitement to violence. People who help him will also be arrested. Some think the charges are political. They believe Geza is targeted for speaking out against the President. Others say criminals are protected as long as they support the ruling party. Geza promises to hold a press conference to explain more.

"Bombshell" Geza Refutes Claims Of Arrest Or Hiding

ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa denied claims of factionalism within the party on Thursday, saying that war veteran Blessed Runesu Geza, also known as Bombshell, is being used to further a specific agenda, reported <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/mutsvangwa-avoids-tackling-zanu-pf-factionalism-head-on-claims-vocal-geza-being-used/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>.
There is a widespread belief that ZANU PF is currently divided, with one faction pushing for the postponement of the 2028 general elections to allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to remain in power until 2030, while another faction, reportedly backing Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, supports adherence to the constitutionally mandated two-term limit.
Neither Mnangagwa nor Chiwenga has publicly acknowledged these emerging factions.
Factional tensions became evident recently when two groups of ZANU PF supporters were heard chanting pro-Mnangagwa and pro-Chiwenga songs at the Heroes Acre.
Geza, along with some war veterans, has publicly called for Mnangagwa to step down, accusing him of cronyism, corruption, and nepotism.
At a media briefing at the ZANU PF headquarters on Thursday, Mutsvangwa dismissed Geza’s stance, claiming that he was being misled by “fools.” He said:
<blockquote>
I have a lot of angst about the way he is being used by people who have a certain agenda. Comrade Geza, I do not know what other issues might be bothering you, but we, the war veterans, always remember… I wish he would not follow fools who are misleading him. I am deeply concerned about what is happening with him.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa’s term is set to end in 2028, and he has repeatedly stated that he will not seek another term. However, critics remain sceptical, as current developments suggest the opposite.

ZANU PF spokesperson Mutsvangwa says war veteran Geza is being misled by people with their own agenda in the party. Some believe there are factions in ZANU PF, one supporting Mnangagwa staying in power beyond 2028, while another supports following the term limits. Mutsvangwa denies factionalism in the party. Geza and some war veterans want Mnangagwa to step down, but Mutsvangwa says Geza is being misled. Mnangagwa has said he won't seek another term after 2028, but some are unsure.

Mutsvangwa: War Veteran Bombshell Geza Being Misled By "Fools"

ZANU PF Secretary for War Veterans, Douglas Mahiya, warned war veterans opposing President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s extended rule that they could be silenced indefinitely, reported <a href="https://cite.org.zw/mahiya-threatens-to-silence-war-veterans-opposing-mnangagwas-extended-stay-in-office/">CITE</a>.
His remarks were aimed at Blessed Runesu Geza and other veterans critical of Mnangagwa’s leadership, citing issues like corruption and cronyism.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police has launched a manhunt for Geza, who faces criminal charges, including theft, undermining the authority of the President and incitement to violence.
Mahiya also claimed that had Mnangagwa been less principled, ZANU PF could have declared a state of emergency to extend his rule, citing the sanctions imposed on the country as akin to a declaration of war by Western powers.
Mahiya made comments during the launch of a War Veterans Fund and empowerment programme in Bulawayo on Saturday. Said Mahiya:
<blockquote>
We were sanctioned by the West. That’s a sign that we are in a war. When a country has sanctions, when people are in a war, they can stop going for elections because they are in a war and declare a state of emergency.
Mnangagwa is a proper, listening, educated leader, but if the country was under someone else, we could have declared that ‘we are in a state of emergency and there are no elections.’ Then we would remove Mnangagwa from power only if he died…
The leadership we want is not one of a person who is highly educated or who has a character that we don’t know.
We want a leader who has a character and hunhu that we know, and that has been shown by Mnangagwa in the period that he has been running the country. He can extend his term so that the population can benefit.
So if you refuse, we have the right, although forbidden by the law, to act otherwise to stop you indefinitely from saying such things.
</blockquote>
Mahiya warned war veterans not to believe that their participation in the liberation struggle grants them the authority to oppose plans to extend Mnangagwa’s term, especially when the majority support it. He said:
<blockquote>
It doesn’t give you power, if you do not follow what people want, your going to Zambia and being a war veteran will be useless. You won’t have standing because you are ganging against the people.
I don’t expect, as the secretary of war veterans, to hear any other war veteran say the opposite because the party’s constitution says our duty as the league is to protect the interests of the party and its leadership, which is the resolution that was made here in Bulawayo. That is the interest of the party, and we also protect the leadership.
</blockquote>
A resolution from the ZANU PF National People’s Conference in Bulawayo last year called for amending the Constitution to extend Mnangagwa’s second and final term until 2030.

War veteran Douglas Mahiya warned other veterans who don't want President Mnangagwa to stay in power longer. He said they could be silenced forever. Mahiya is mad at Blessed Geza and others who criticize Mnangagwa for being corrupt and having too many friends in power. The police are looking for Geza because of criminal charges. Mahiya thinks the country is at war because of sanctions. He said if Mnangagwa wasn't a good leader, they could have declared a state of emergency to keep him in power. Mahiya warned war veterans not to go against the majority who want Mnangagwa to stay until 2030.

Mahiya: War Veterans Opposing "ED 2030" Will Be Silenced Forever

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has launched a manhunt for war veteran Blessed Geza Runesu, also known as “Bombshell.”
In a statement released this Wednesday, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed that Geza is wanted for questioning in connection with four separate criminal charges, which are detailed below:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Theft allegations as defined in Section 113 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act, Chapter 9: 23. The suspect stole and disposed three vehicles belonging to a complainant without his consent.</li>
<li>He is also facing two Counts of contravening Section 33 (2) (a) (ii) of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act, Chapter 9: 23, “Undermining the Authority of or Insulting the President.</li>
<li>One count of contravening Section 187 of the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act, Chapter 9: 23, “Incitement to commit public violence”.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
Nyathi warned that anyone found harbouring Geza or assisting him to evade police questioning will face arrest and prosecution.
He further urged anyone with information to come forward and contact the National Complaints Desk at (0242) 703631 or via WhatsApp at 0712 800197.

The police are looking for Blessed Geza, also known as "Bombshell," for many crimes. He stole three cars, insulted the President, and incited violence. If anyone helps him, they will get in trouble too. The police want information to catch him. If you know where he is, call the police to help.

War Veteran "Bombshell" Geza Wanted By ZRP On Multiple Criminal Charges

War veteran and ZANU PF Central Committee member Blessed Runesu Geza is facing a civil case over his alleged seizure of Harare Safari Lodge.
As reported by <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/geza-in-us15m-harare-safari-lodge-dispute/">The Herald</a>, the case stems from an alleged failure to pay US$1.5 million for the property, which he is accused of acquiring in 2020 from former owner Brett Allan McDonald.
Geza reportedly claims that the land is State property, and therefore unsellable, arguing that the sale agreement is invalid.
The terms of the deal required him to purchase McDonald’s entire shareholding in the lodge for US$1.5 million, with payment due within two weeks.
However, Geza is accused of not paying anything since the agreement was made, despite taking up residence at the lodge and using its assets.
McDonald has sought legal recourse to reclaim the property, with the case now escalated to the High Court.
Geza’s legal team maintains that the agreement is void, asserting that the property was acquired by the State in 2005, and that the sale of shares was unlawful.
The dispute continues, with a pre-trial conference held in May last year failing to resolve the issue.
The court has ruled that the case must proceed to trial to determine ownership of the property, the validity of the agreement, and whether McDonald lawfully cancelled the deal.
In the meantime, McDonald’s lawyer, Simbarashe Chigumira, has expressed concerns about threats made against him by Geza. Said Chigumira:
<blockquote>
So, our client entered into an agreement of sale for shares in a company. In terms of that agreement, Mr Geza was supposed to pay the amount of US$1 500 000 within 14 days of signing the agreement.
The parties signed the agreement in December 2020, but Mr Geza did not manage to raise the purchase price for the shares.
Another term of the agreement was that upon purchasing the shares, Mr Geza would consequently take over the Harare Safari Lodge, which is currently housed at Lake Chivero.
But despite failing to raise the purchase price, Mr Geza took occupation of the lodge without our client’s consent.
Our client advises us that Mr Geza forcibly removed his staff from the property and that he’s even occupied the primary residence, which belongs to our client, and which was never part of the agreement.
</blockquote>

A man named Geza takes a safari lodge in Harare without paying the owner $1.5 million. Geza says the land belongs to the State. The owner, McDonald, wants his property back and takes Geza to court. Geza's lawyers say the agreement is not valid. The court says the case will go to trial to decide who owns the lodge. McDonald's lawyer is worried about threats from Geza. McDonald and Geza made a deal, but Geza did not pay the money and took over the lodge.

Geza Accused Of Seizing Harare Safari Lodge And Failing To Pay US$1.5 Million

Workers at Blessed Runesu Geza’s farm in Sanyati on Monday apprehended a 19-year-old man, suspected of spying after he was caught taking pictures of their boss’ farmhouse.
The young man, who identified himself as Nigel Murwira, was swiftly handed over to the police in Sanyati for further questioning.
At the time of the incident, Geza, a war veteran and ZANU PF central committee member was not present at the farm.
However, farm manager Isaiah Lozane told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200038157/man-caught-spying-at-gezas-farm">NewsDay</a> that their suspicions were aroused when they noticed a car with South African registration plates dropping off the young man near the property. Said Lozane:
<blockquote>
He started shooting pictures of the main house, and that’s when we confronted him. The young man gave incoherent answers about his mission.
At first, he claimed he was looking for employment as a general labourer but after interrogation he said he had been sent by people he was not at liberty to name to take pictures of the farm structures and get US$200 as payment.
</blockquote>
The suspected spy reportedly attempted to flee during interrogation and was injured while climbing the perimeter fence. Added Lozane:
<blockquote>
He later claimed that he had been picked up at Patchway along Kadoma-Sanyati Road by unidentified men to Geza’s farm where his mission was to take pictures in return for $200.
He told me that along the way the men in the Honda Fit were being directed by someone on the phone because none of us knew where the farm was.
</blockquote>
The men in the Honda Fit, realising that Murwira was under arrest, sped off in a hurry, disappearing into the distance.
Meanwhile, Geza, the former Sanyati legislator, finds himself at the centre of a political storm. He has been clashing with powerful figures within his own party who are pushing for an extension of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term until 2030.
Geza, a staunch war veteran, is leading a faction that opposes the term extension, while Mnangagwa’s loyalists have been rallying against him, calling for his expulsion from the party and even arrest.

Workers at Geza's farm caught a young man named Nigel taking pictures of their boss' farmhouse. They handed him over to the police. Nigel said he was sent to take pictures of the farm and get paid $200. He was picked up by some men in a car with South African plates. The men in the car ran away when Nigel was caught. Geza, a war veteran, is having problems in his political party because he is against extending the President's term. This incident has created more trouble for him.

Geza's Farm Workers Capture 19-Year Old "Spy" Taking Photos At Farmhouse

Outspoken war veteran Blessed “Bombshell” Geza has issued a stern warning to Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Commissioner General Stephen Mutamba, urging him not to shoot any Zimbabwean exercising their democratic right to demonstrate.
In an interview with HStv, Geza said that no one should be arrested for protesting and declared that war veterans would take action if the police resorted to such measures.
He stressed that the right to demonstrate is sacred, pointing out that countless Zimbabweans shed their blood and gave their lives to secure this fundamental freedom. Said Geza (via <a href="https://masvingomirror.com/dont-shoot-demonstrators-bombshell-geza-warns-police-chief/">The Mirror</a>):
<blockquote>
Be warned (Mutamba); if we hear there is anyone arrested for the enjoyment of his/her constitutional rights, you will see it. We will deal with you. If we also hear that there is anybody who has been shot for his/ her constitutional rights, the same rights which thousands sacrificed their lives for…
Don’t be used by anybody on the basis of your relationship or nepotism. I want to warn members of the security forces, in particular the Police.
</blockquote>
Geza also spoke out against the many roadblocks on Zimbabwe’s roads, warning Commissioner General Mutamba not to turn the country into a police state.
Geza is part of a group of war veterans who have openly opposed ZANU PF’s plans to change the Constitution and delay the 2028 elections, which would allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to stay in office until 2030.

Blessed Geza, a war veteran, warned the police chief not to arrest or shoot peaceful protesters in Zimbabwe. He said protesters have the right to demonstrate, and the war veterans will take action if police use force. Geza also criticized too many roadblocks in the country and warned against turning Zimbabwe into a police state. He is against changing the Constitution to delay elections and keep President Mnangagwa in power. Geza wants everyone to respect people's rights and not abuse their power.

Geza Says War Veterans Will Respond If Police Use Force On Peaceful Demonstrators

ZANU PF Politburo member Ziyambi Ziyambi has said that President Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga are united and working together, and there is no factionalism within the party.
Speaking at the party’s Mashonaland West Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting in Chinhoyi on Wednesday, Ziyambi asserted that claims of factional fights within the party are false. He said (via <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/no-feud-between-president-vp/">The Herald</a>):
<blockquote>
We now have a clique of people who are fanning divisions within our party, claiming to be representing and speaking on behalf of our leaders President Mnangagwa and his deputies.
There is no division between President Mnangagwa and Vice President Chiwenga and claims that there are factional fights within the party are false.
I am a Politburo member who has never seen Vice President Chiwenga disobey and denigrate his superior. This should be a shining example for all of us.
When Vice President Chiwenga joined Cabinet, he taught me a lot about politics, and the main thing he taught me was to be loyal and respectful.
I have never heard President Mnangagwa say he despises his deputy or Vice President Chiwenga. Who are you (Geza) to claim that there is bad blood between the two?
</blockquote>
Blessed Geza, also known as “Bombshell,” is a ZANU PF Central Committee member and war veteran.
He has been a vocal critic of Mnangagwa, particularly opposing the push to extend Mnangagwa’s term beyond the constitutional limits.
Geza has called for Mnangagwa’s resignation, accusing him of failing to deliver on his promises and engaging in nepotism and corruption.
He is now facing potential expulsion from ZANU PF for his outspoken stance.

ZANU PF leader Ziyambi Ziyambi says President Mnangagwa and Vice President Chiwenga are working together with no fighting in the party. Ziyambi calls out people causing division and says both leaders are loyal and respectful to each other. War veteran Blessed Geza, also known as "Bombshell," has criticized Mnangagwa and called for his resignation. Geza may be kicked out of ZANU PF for his comments. Ziyambi's message is that there is unity in ZANU PF and no factionalism among its leaders.

Chiwenga Loyal To Mnangagwa, No Factionalism In ZANU PF, Says Ziyambi

ZANU PF Politburo member and Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Ziyambi Ziyambi, said that the party would request Police Commissioner-General Stephen Mutamba to arrest war veteran and Central Committee member Blessed Runesu Geza on charges of murder.
Speaking to ZANU PF members at a meeting in the North Court, Zvimba East Constituency, on February 3, Ziyambi called for an investigation into Geza’s alleged involvement in the death of an unnamed individual at his homestead several years ago. Said Ziyambi:
<blockquote>
In the past, he murdered someone at his homestead and the case was not thoroughly investigated. If you murder someone the case does not just disappear, we’re going to tell Mutamba to investigate.
</blockquote>
ZANU PF’s Mashonaland West Province has recommended the expulsion of Geza from the party, citing allegations of undermining and threatening President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Geza has accused Mnangagwa of violating the constitution, exacerbating corruption, and betraying the principles of the liberation struggle. He has also called for Mnangagwa’s immediate resignation.

ZANU PF Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi says Geza is a murderer and should be arrested. Geza is accused of killing someone at his home years ago. Ziyambi wants the police to investigate. The party is also considering expelling Geza for speaking out against President Mnangagwa. Geza is calling for Mnangagwa to resign and has accused him of breaking the law and being corrupt. The situation is tense between ZANU PF members.

Geza Is A Murderer, Says Ziyambi

ZANU PF Central Committee member and war veteran, Blessed Runesu Geza, has apologized for his involvement in the removal of the late former president, Robert Mugabe, in November 2017, which led to the rise of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200037822/zanu-pf-seeks-to-oust-treasonous-ed-critic-geza-report">HSTV</a>, a digital broadcaster owned by Alpha Media Holdings, Geza, who is reportedly facing the possibility of expulsion from the ruling party, claimed that once Mnangagwa assumed power, he escalated corruption, neglected the people, and focused primarily on his family. Said Geza:
<blockquote>
We gave you Mnangagwa with the hope that he would lead our country toward recovery, uphold the constitution, and restore hope to the people.
But as soon as he tasted power, he escalated corruption, abandoned the people, and remembered only his family.
We fought for a Zimbabwe where everyone would have a seat at the table, not for a few thieves cloaking themselves in robes of power. It is unacceptable for a small clique to ruin the legacy of the liberation struggle.
I wish to apologize for being one of the people who worked hard to oust the late Robert Mugabe to replace him with Mnangagwa.
With hindsight now I regret that… It is us who gave you Mnangagwa, we put you (sic) in State House with the hope that he would set our country on a path for recovery, respect the constitution, and give the people hope.
As soon as he had the taste of power, he escalated corruption, forgot the people and remembered only his family.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, ZANU PF Mashonaland West Province on Monday recommended Gezi’s expulsion from the party for allegedly undermining and threatening President Mnangagwa.
The decision was made during a meeting held at the North Court in Zvimba East Constituency on February 3rd, attended by thousands of party supporters.
ZANU PF Politburo member and Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi, said that the recommendation was based on Geza’s statements, which were seen as abusing the party’s name.

Geza said sorry for helping remove Mugabe and bring in Mnangagwa. He thinks Mnangagwa became corrupt and forgot about the people. ZANU PF might kick Geza out for criticizing Mnangagwa. Geza regrets his actions and wants things to change. People want Geza out of the party for causing trouble. Geza's words were seen as disrespectful towards ZANU PF. Mnangagwa focused on himself and not the country, which upset Geza and other party members.

Geza Apologises For Role In Mugabe's Ouster, Accuses Mnangagwa Of Failing The People

Blessed Runesu Geza, an outspoken war veteran and ZANU PF central committee member, known as Bombshell, has distanced himself from an X account that issued a 10-day ultimatum to President Emmerson Mnangagwa to resign or face unspecified action.
On Sunday, Geza, accompanied by five other ex-combatants, held a press conference calling for Mnangagwa’s resignation, accusing him of corruption, nepotism, and tribalism, among other failures.
Following the press conference, an X account under the name Cde Blessed R Geza, created in November 2023, continued to criticize Mnangagwa.
One of the posts from this account issued a threat, giving Mnangagwa 10 days to resign. They wrote:
<blockquote>
We’re giving Emmerson 10 days to respond to issues we raised last Monday and his failure to will trigger serious consequences on him and his cartel of thieves surrounding him,we’ve the undoubted capacity to cause pandemonium and restore real order in Zimbabwe like never before.
</blockquote>
Geza, however, told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200037698/geza-bombshell-disowns-ghost-x-account">NewsDay</a> that he believed the X account was created by State agents to damage his reputation and potentially set him up for arrest on charges of inciting public violence. He said:
<blockquote>
I don’t have an X account, I have never opened one and I don’t even know how to open it.
I know the State agents are behind this. They should know that I am more trained than them.

A war veteran called Geza, known as Bombshell, said he has nothing to do with a social media account threatening the President of Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa. He held a press conference asking for the President's resignation due to corruption. An X account with his name was made and continued to criticize Mnangagwa, giving a 10-day ultimatum. Geza denies owning that account and thinks the government created it to frame him. He says he is more skilled than them.
