Zimbabwe leader Emmerson Mnangagwa fired a top general on Tuesday. Political experts say this move helps him keep control as fears rise about his former friends trying to kick him out. Mnangagwa grabbed power when the army forced out Robert Mugabe back in 2017. He faces increasing pushback from members of his ZANU-PF party, which has run Zimbabwe ever since the country broke free from British rule in 1980.
Veterans who fought for the country's freedom want everyone to protest across Zimbabwe on March 31. They hope to make Mnangagwa quit. These veterans blame him for making money problems worse and planning to stay boss after 2028, when his time should be up. Mnangagwa says these claims are false. He warned against troublemakers at a...
Zimbabwe President Mnangagwa just named Major General Emmanuel Matatu to run the army. Many people think he did this because he feared military leaders might try to overthrow him from power. Mnangagwa bumped Matatu up to Lieutenant General as part of the deal. The previous commander, Anselem Sanyatwe, lost his military job Wednesday but strangely became the new Minister of Sport instead.
Sanyatwe takes over from Kirsty Coventry, who made history when she became the first woman ever elected to lead the International Olympic Committee. The government claims everything happened legally, according to Zimbabwe's constitution and defense laws. Martin Rushwaya, who serves as Cabinet Chief Secretary, made these claims about the process being...
The cops in Zimbabwe have put lots of people on the streets to keep everyone safe. Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe told reporters Thursday night about these safety plans. He wants all citizens to feel protected when they go shopping, work at their jobs, or hang out with friends.
The police force has beefed up security across the country because they care about public safety. Minister Kazembe explained how the government made sure enough officers patrolled neighborhoods and business areas. These extra security measures help regular folks live normal lives without worrying about trouble.
Kazembe spoke clearly about how the security teams stay ready for any problems that might pop up. The entire police department remains super...
President Mnangagwa has picked Major General Emmanuel Matatu for a big promotion. The Zimbabwe leader bumped him up to Lieutenant General and put him in charge of the whole national army. This change took effect right away when it was announced. Dr. Martin Rushwaya shared the news as the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet.
The government made this decision based on what the law allows. They followed Section 216 and Section 89 from the Constitution, plus parts of Section 11 from the Defence Act. These rules give the President power to name new military leaders when needed. The paperwork makes everything official and keeps the process legal.
Mnangagwa believes Matatu has what it takes to handle this important job. The...
The Institute for Public Policy Research says AI and social media spread false information during the 2024 elections. Their recent report studied problems from November 2024 through March 2025. They discovered people used AI mainly for attacks against opponents, especially with fake voice messages on WhatsApp groups. Project leader Federico Links talked about an AI-created video falsely showing President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah collapsing at a rally last year.
Links felt upset that news outlets never checked if this video was real before sharing it. He blamed media companies for reporting fake stories without fact-checking first. This behavior makes fewer people trust what journalists say these days. The report also found foreign...
According to his recent statements, Blessed Geza remains alive, safe, and healthy. He claims Mnangagwa knows his location but fears approaching him. The public protects him because he represents their wishes. His wife experienced harassment but handled the situation well as someone married to a former soldier.
Geza points to widespread corruption under Mnangagwa's leadership, with associates taking resources freely. Most citizens experience extreme poverty without relief. He references Jealousy Mawarire's television appearance last month exposing POSB issues. Geza states he possesses complete information about the POSB situation involving Virginia Mabhiza.
The arrest of journalist Blessed Mhlanga concerns Geza greatly. He sees this as...
A few days back, Blessed Geza posted a dangerous YouTube video online. He packed it with false claims to start trouble. My friends at Fact Checker Zimbabwe found 20 complete lies he told. We need to show everyone the truth about what he said.
Geza wrongly called President Emmerson Mnangagwa a spy who dislikes ZANU PF and war veterans. The facts prove otherwise. Mnangagwa helped create the War Veterans Association with Chenjerai Hunzvi, Andy Mhlanga, and other freedom fighters. These people can tell you about the many planning meetings they had with Mnangagwa when setting up the group.
Mnangagwa started his political life back in 1962. He trained for military action in 1963, way before Geza entered politics. His bravery showed when he...
War veteran Blessed Geza shared another video Wednesday, calling for people to rise up against President Emmerson Mnangagwa on March 31. Police want him for sedition charges. He filmed at a secret place wearing army clothes. He urged citizens across Zimbabwe, from Plumtree to Mutare and Zambezi to Limpopo, to fill the streets demanding Mnangagwa step down.
Zanu PF threw Geza out about two weeks ago. He says he speaks for many veterans from the 1970s independence fight who hate how Mnangagwa runs Zimbabwe. Nobody knows if people will join his protest, but the government has launched major security measures just in case. They canceled all police vacation time and set up more roadblocks everywhere in the country.
Mnangagwa talked to his...
War veteran Blessed Geza posted another video Wednesday from a secret location. He wore army clothes and again called for "an uprising" to force President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down on March 31. Police want to arrest him for sedition charges. In his YouTube message, he urged people across Zimbabwe to fill the streets, saying, "Mnangagwa must go."
Zanu PF kicked Geza out about two weeks ago. He claims many veterans from Zimbabwe's 1970s freedom fight stand with him because they feel unhappy about how Mnangagwa runs the country. No one knows yet if his call for mass action will work, but the government takes these threats seriously. They set up extra security everywhere.
Police officers cannot take leave or time off right away, and...
