War veteran Blessed Geza has fiercely criticized President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his supporters, whom he refers to as the “Zvigananda,” for attempting to reverse Zimbabwe’s land reform program. In a statement issued on Monday, Geza expressed his gratitude to the citizens who responded to his call for protests against Mnangagwa’s push for a third term in office.
Geza’s Statement:
“I am your Blessed Geza, Comrade Bombshell,” Geza began. “First of all, I want to thank you, Zimbabweans, for heeding our call to take action.”
Geza, who took to the streets of Harare earlier that morning to gauge the situation, found the response overwhelming. “The streets were empty, absolutely empty. And I received similar reports from other cities. This is very encouraging. You have sent a clear message that you want Emmerson and his corrupt cabal, Zvigananda, to go.”
He further emphasized, “This is just the beginning of a series of events to send him packing, and we want to assure you that he is going in the shortest possible time. Keep pressing hard. Momentum must be maintained. We need to remain strong.”
However, Geza expressed his concerns about the police’s response to the protests. “We have observed police barbaric actions against innocent and peaceful protesters. We have seen that Emmerson is using the police to instill gross fear in the public instead of engaging with them or, better still, just resigning.”
He specifically called out police commander, Mutamba, saying, “Mutamba, I want to warn you: The children of Zimbabwe have a right to demonstrate. That is their democratic right. In the constitution, we are no different from other countries like South Africa. You are oppressing people. You want to do what Smith used to do.”
Geza further questioned the legitimacy of the actions being taken by those in power, stating, “So, the constitution assembled by 13 million people, and you want to twist it in your capacity as who? Emmerson’s days in office are numbered. Stop this behavior.”
Geza also referenced the March 31 protest, which saw many people close their businesses in solidarity, but emphasized the police’s oppressive response. “I called for the March 31 protest, and people took heed by closing their shops to allow for the protest. But the police decided to block the people. This shows a desperation to cling to power,” Geza said. “Let me remind the police, their duty is to maintain law and order, not to foment crimes. They are supposed to protect citizens as they exercise their constitutional rights, not tear gas them into submission. The police are supposed to protect the people, not criminals, including Mnangagwa himself.”
Addressing the police officers directly, Geza warned, “I would like to open your eyes. You can’t be bribed with $50 to deny your fellow citizens their constitutional right to protest. The exit of Mnangagwa will benefit you.”
Geza pointed out the dire financial situation of the police, noting, “Currently, you are getting slave wages. You need to send your children to school, get good healthcare, travel on good roads, eat decent food, among others. But this government you are protecting is denying you all of this. Open your eyes.”
Turning to the broader issue of corruption, Geza stated, “Emmerson and his cabal, led by Tagwirei, you have to go. You have been stealing from the people. The blood that was shed for the land cannot be ignored. The land reform was about returning land to the black masses, but you and Emmerson want to reverse it.”
He continued, “You want to steal land and use your own banks. Which program has ever been financed by only two banks? What this means is that when people take loans from these banks, the banks will demand title deeds. And when they fail to service the loan, the land will no longer be theirs. It will be owned by the banks, but indirectly, it will be Emmerson and Tagwirei’s land.”
Geza made it clear that he would not allow the reversal of the land reform program. “Your behavior of trying to steal land, of reversing the land reform program—stop it. We just say stop it. But we know very well that by this week, we will have sent him off, so I don’t see this program going ahead.”
He also criticized the ZANU PF youths, specifically pointing out those who were using police uniforms to harass fellow Zimbabweans. “You, ZANU PF youths, stop this behavior, which the Mutambas, the Paradzas, and the Machakaires are orchestrating. You are making each other wear police uniforms to harass your own fathers and mothers who are trying to survive.”
Geza passionately expressed his concerns for the future of Zimbabwe’s youth, saying, “We are doing this for you, the youth. You are the ones now without jobs, falling into drugs. We are doing this for you, the children of Zimbabwe. So, we want you, the youth, to inherit the right character.”
He also addressed Kuda Tagwirei, accusing him of greed and corruption. “Kuda Tagwirei, don’t play with us. You are too young. Your behavior, your greed—we know it. You and Emmerson are stealing the country’s wealth. Last time we spoke of it, you monopolize government companies, get banks without paying a penny. Any payments needed, it’s the government that ends up paying you when you’re the buyer.”
Geza didn’t stop there, accusing Tagwirei of destroying the Seventh Day Adventist Church. “You have destroyed the Adventist church. There are quarrels in the church because of you. Some people think you’re a righteous person, but there’s no one more awful than you in Zimbabwe. You’ve used corruption money to buy people in the church.”
He then issued a chilling warning: “Don’t play with me, young man! Thousands of people who perished didn’t die for you and Emmerson to do whatever you want in Zimbabwe, conniving to make you the president. Stop this behavior, or go get a ritual conducted at your rural home. Are you normal?”
Concluding his remarks, Geza announced the decision to call off the protest, citing intelligence regarding a potential plot against him. “I’ve gathered intelligence of an evil plan—Sean Mnangagwa has bought explosives. He wants to bomb certain targets tonight and blame each one on me. This will be done to label me a terrorist.”
Geza assured his supporters that the protest would be temporarily halted, saying, “We had our peaceful protest today. Now, let’s call it off for now. A statement has already been made, and I’ll return to you on Wednesday with a very, very crucial announcement. This will change the direction of things and take us to a higher level.”
“Thank you, and God bless you all,” Geza concluded.
