In a powerful address to the nation on Wednesday night, war veteran Blessed Geza vowed to take action against those he referred to as Zvigananda surrounding President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Geza also reaffirmed that the planned protests on March 31 would proceed as scheduled.

Below is the full statement from Geza:

I am Blessed Geza, Cde Bombshell. I have returned. Our March 31st protests are going ahead as planned. We see that certain individuals around President Mnangagwa are causing trouble for the people, particularly farmers, who are struggling to get paid. These problems are being created by them, and I’m here to name them.

First, we start with Kudakwashe Tagwirei. He wants to become president after Auxillia Mnangagwa’s turn. He is the one taking all the government contracts, controlling many companies.

Next, there’s Wicknell Chivayo. This man has no proper business credentials but calls himself Sir Wicknell Chivayo. He secures tenders and gets paid in advance. President Mnangagwa says he has his own money, but the Gwanda project remains a mystery—the funds just disappeared, and Chivayo is protected by ED.

Then there is Pedzai Scott Sakupwanya, who charges 7% to share the loot with ED.

George Guvamatanga is another one. He takes 10% of deals and has bought properties all over the world—South Africa, the UK, Canada—all funded by your money.

Another name is Julius Charumbira, located in Newlands.

John Panonetsa Mangudya, former Reserve Bank Governor, is my young man.

Then there’s Mthuli Ncube, the Minister of Finance.

Obey Chimuka is another person in this circle.

There’s a thief called Tungwarara, who I despise. He disrespects those who fought for the country. Can’t you see he has no respect for the blood that was shed for this country?

Douglas Kwande, a close friend of ED, is yet another Zvigananda, taking people’s money.

Let’s talk about political criminals. The first on the list is Daniel Garwe, a former Selous Scout, who will soon be exposed. He is the one who called comrades “dogs” or bokki.

Owen Mudha Ncube is another criminal. He doesn’t even have a Grade 7 education and is responsible for the killings of generals. He’s at the forefront of terrorizing children and taking people’s money. One of his other tasks is to target young girls at MSU.

Then there is Tatenda Mavetera, the Minister of ICT. Her history with ED is well-known. And Mabel Chinonona, a disaster of a war veteran, who despises fellow war veterans. Some say she was sent by the Special Branch, and we question whether she is truly a comrade.

Jacob Mudenda wants to be made Vice President and is behind Tshabangu’s agenda. He is the one who approached the people’s choice MPs to align with the 2030 agenda.

Tino Machakaire, Minister of Youth, is also part of this corrupt circle.

Christopher Mutsvangwa, the ZANU PF spokesperson and my friend, needs to reconsider his role. Chris, we see you placing ED above your comrades, but what has ED done for the war veterans?

Then there is John Paradza, the young boy with no education, and Lovemore Matuke, whose father betrayed many people in Gutu. Matuke’s association with ED is suspicious, given ED’s past as a spy for the Rhodesia Front.

Ezra Chadzamira is another name to note. You can see the kinds of people ED surrounds himself with.

Goodwills Masimirembwa, a lawyer turned land baron, continues to hold onto the 2030 agenda.

Polite Kambamura, Ziyambi Ziyambi, and Edson Chiherende, the Midlands ZANU PF chairman, are further examples of the rot within.

There are other criminals too, like Munyaradzi Machacha, whose actions have embarrassed us. He’s my nephew, but in matters of national importance, there’s no favoritism.

Douglas Mahiya has a war veterans’ league project but was involved in plans to remove war veterans along Shamva Road.

We also have fake prophets such as Uebert Angel, who is involved in the Gold Mafia, Ed Branson, and Winston Chitando, who started well but has since fallen.

Jenfan Muswere is a complete failure; his rise to minister is a mystery. Anxious Masuka is involved in shady land deals. And July Moyo? Well, we won’t waste time with him, as he is known to be a CIA agent.

Kazembe Kazembe is another unworthy figure, one I’ve spoken about before. If you look closely, you’ll see that ED is anti-comrades, and the people around him—such as the Kazembes—are questionable.

Richard Moyo, who loves ED so much, is playing a dangerous role in destroying Matebeleland.

These are the people who are plundering Zimbabwe.

We are not just talking; we are taking action. We will hold these criminals accountable. Buy data, and you will see what we do. We will not be intimidated by this group. There are 16 million of us, and we will show them the power of the people.

I’m just saying a few words today, but wait for our actions. You’ll see us in action soon enough. It hurts us as comrades to see this betrayal.

To you, Mnangagwa: we are dealing with you on March 31. But these others, we are dealing with them from today. They will regret their actions. They will be the ones demanding your removal.

As war veterans, we’ve come to a painful realization. We’ve let you down, and we allowed these nationalists to damage you. They made sure real war veterans were reduced to poverty. We apologize for failing you, but today we see the truth. We cannot stand by and let the criminals take control of this country. We will continue the fight started by those who died at Nyadzonya, Chimoio, and other places. What did they die for if we let this country be handed over to criminals?

It’s been 40 years, and the time has come for us to take back our country. We want to leave it in a better place. The task of removing Mnangagwa has already begun.

On March 31, from Plumtree to Mutare, from Zambezi to Limpopo, we call on everyone to take to the streets and remove Mnangagwa.
