By Munacho Gwamanda-Zanu PF Central Committee member, and out-spoken war veteran Blessed Geza said he would soon be announcing the next action ‘we’ are taking against President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Geza, who has emerged as one of the ruling party’s most vocal internal critics, has become a thorn in Mnangagwa’s side, openly challenging his leadership and questioning his grip on power.
He has already publicly demanded that Mnangagwa should resign.
Operating under the banner of the Zimbabwe Liberators’ Platform, Geza has consistently accused Mnangagwa of betraying the liberation struggle, mismanaging the country, and using the state apparatus to suppress dissent within the party.
His latest remarks come amid deepening factionalism in Zanu PF, with growing tensions between Mnangagwa’s loyalists and those sympathetic to his deputy, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.
Geza and his youthful ally, Cde Nyokayemabhunu, have positioned themselves as voices of discontent, rallying war veterans and disillusioned party members against what they describe as a corrupt and self-serving leadership.
Speaking exclusively to ZimEye on Saturday, Geza laughed off claims that he was on the run from Mnangagwa’s security forces. During a seven-minute conversation with journalist Simba Chikanza, he appeared unfazed by the speculation surrounding his safety.
“Is this how a person who is on the run appears?” he quipped, dismissing reports that he had gone into hiding. Instead, he suggested that Mnangagwa’s camp was feeling the heat, stating ominously: “They are the ones preparing to set off.”
When pressed about his next move, Geza made it clear that action was imminent.
“Any time from now, I think in the next two days… do not be alarmed at all, we are on top of the situation, 100 percent,”hedeclared, hinting at a major development in his movement’s operations.
Geza has made headlines over the past year with his increasingly bold pronouncements, accusing Mnangagwa of rigging internal party processes, sidelining war veterans, and presiding over a failed state.
His defiance has put him in direct confrontation with Zanu PF’s security structures, which have long been used to silence dissenting voices within the party.
His latest outburst is expected to further inflame tensions within Zanu PF, where factional battles continue to intensify ahead of a potential leadership transition.
While Mnangagwa has sought to consolidate power, figures like Geza represent a growing resistance within the party, emboldened by widespread economic hardship and declining public confidence in the regime.
With Geza signalling imminent action, political observers will be watching closely to see what unfolds in the coming days.
His defiance adds to the mounting pressure on Mnangagwa, whose hold on power is increasingly being questioned both within and outside Zanu PF.
Whether Geza’s movement can translate rhetoric into meaningful political change remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—his bombshell statements are shaking the foundations of an already unstable ruling party.
