By Munacho Gwamanda- A prophecies of an impending coup continue to surface, adding fuel to the growing tensions within ZANU-PF.
A viral video circulating on social media features an unnamed prophet predicting a bloody military takeover, warning that the internal power struggles within the ruling party could soon erupt into full-scale violence.
In the video, the prophet declares:
“The Lord has spoken, and I must pray for Zimbabwe. I saw another coup—one that will bring chaos and bloodshed. Thiswill not be like before; this time, there will be much suffering, and many lives will be lost.
I saw the current government being overthrown, and in its place, violence and turmoil will arise. The Bible commands us to pray for those in authority, and now more than ever, Zimbabwe needs our prayers.
The Lord revealed to me that a deal was made, but it did not go well. One side agreed to step down and hand over power, but now, they refuse to let go. Because of this, a coup is brewing—a dangerous storm is on the horizon.
We must stand together in prayer and call upon the hand of God to intervene. Let us lift our voices and declare: ‘In the name of Jesus, we pray for Zimbabwe! May peace reign, and may God’s will be done. Amen!’”
This prophecy comes in the wake of Blessing Geza, a war veteran and senior ZANU-PF Central Committee member, issuing a direct threat against President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Geza has publicly stated that he will soon reveal the steps war veterans will take to remove Mnangagwa, further escalating tensions within the ruling party.
Geza, known for his close ties to powerful factions within the military, recently gave Mnangagwa an ultimatum to resign, warning that failure to do so would lead to drastic action.
His statements have added weight to the growing belief that Mnangagwa is losing control over the security forces that helped him seize power in 2017.
Adding to the anxiety, another prominent prophet, Ian Ndlovu, has also issued a chilling prophecy of a coup, cautioning that Zimbabwe’s deepening power struggle could soon spiral out of control.
“We must continue to pray for our nation… Two trains are set to collide. I personally pray for peace for all ordinary Zimbabweans, but change must not be stopped, in whatever form it needs to come,” Ndlovu warned in a now-viral video.
Reports indicate that a group of high-ranking military officials and war veterans recently held a secret meeting to discuss ways to block Mnangagwa’s attempts to extend his rule beyond his current term under the controversial #ED2030 agenda.
A powerful military faction loyal to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is said to be behind the plot.
Sources close to the discussions reveal that many within the security forces and war veteran community believe Mnangagwa has betrayed the 2017 coup pact, which allegedly included an agreement for him to serve only one term before handing over power to Chiwenga.
A secret meeting reportedly took place in Mashonaland Central, a province historically known as a hub for political coups. The province has long been a stronghold for anti-Mnangagwa elements within ZANU-PF and the military, particularly those loyal to Chiwenga.
A source close to the faction stated:
“You hear what credible war veterans like Blessing Geza are saying. He is not hallucinating; he is communicating a message from the script, and you must listen to him carefully.”
This is not the first time that power struggles within Zimbabwe’s ruling elite have led to political upheaval and bloodshed.
The late Air Force Commander Perrence Shiri—who played a crucial role in the 2017 coup against Robert Mugabe—was known for holding secret meetings with allies such as Paradzai Zimondi and Bindura South MP Remigious Matangira at the Bindura Arcadia Dam.
Both Shiri and Zimondi died under mysterious circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic, with speculation suggesting that Mnangagwa may have orchestrated their deaths to weaken potential challengers.
Despite Mnangagwa’s purge of senior military officers linked to Chiwenga, tensions continue to simmer within the security forces, with many still loyal to Chiwenga and deeply resentful of Mnangagwa’s growing authoritarianism.
Unlike in 2017, Mnangagwa has strengthened his grip over Zimbabwe’s intelligence agencies and placed loyalists in key military positions. However, history has shown that Zimbabwe’s political landscape is unpredictable, and even a heavily fortified president can be overthrown if military discontent reaches a breaking point.
The rift between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga has widened over the years, with the Vice President increasingly sidelined from key government and party structures.
