Blessed Geza calls for nationwide protests on March 31 demanding President Mnangagwa’s resignation, referring to the demonstrations as an “uprising.” He urges citizens to mobilize and supports VP Chiwenga for presidency amidst concerns of unrest similar to the 2017 coup. Geza, facing arrest for alleged incitement, reemerges boldly in military attire, raising fears of political instability in Zimbabwe.
Blessed Geza, a prominent war veteran, recently made a bold appearance on X (formerly Twitter) urging for nationwide protests set for March 31, aimed at President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s immediate resignation. Adorned in military attire, Geza characterized the planned protests as an “uprising,” and called for all citizens to take to the streets to hold the president accountable for economic struggles faced by Zimbabweans.
He appealed to private individuals to provide transportation for demonstrators and cautioned Police Commissioner General Stephen Mutamba against interfering with the protests. Geza asserted that the demonstrations were necessary to alleviate widespread economic challenges stemming from what he referred to as the administration’s maladministration.
The former fighter, who had been in hiding for over a month, openly advocated for Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s presidential candidacy, suggesting that notable opposition figures like Nelson Chamisa and Tendai Biti support this move. Geza’s return raises concerns regarding potential unrest, reminiscent of the 2017 coup that ousted former President Robert Mugabe.
Authorities have indicated their intent to arrest Geza, labeled as “Bombshell” for his wartime exploits, due to accusations of undermining the president and inciting violence. While the specifics of his bold resurgence are unclear, speculation exists regarding support from Chiwenga or factions opposed to Mnangagwa’s attempt for an unconstitutional third term.
In conclusion, Blessed Geza’s recent call for protests against President Mnangagwa signifies a growing tide of dissent and may indicate underlying political instability in Zimbabwe. His confrontational stance and military appearance have intensified fears of potential upheaval, as he champions for Vice President Chiwenga’s presidency. The response from authorities and the public’s participation on March 31 will be critical in determining the political landscape moving forward.
