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.

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...
Does Blessed Geza actually have the military behind him? Let's look at the facts. As a former fighter from the liberation struggle, Geza maintains certain old connections to military personnel. His recent appearance wearing combat attire during his "uprising" speech suggests he wants people to believe he has military allies. But reality tells a different story. The Zimbabwe military traditionally stays loyal to top Zanu-PF leaders rather than outsiders like Geza.
Remember the 2017 military action? Soldiers supported Mnangagwa and Chiwenga specifically—not vocal veterans who talk big on social media. Recent events speak volumes about the current power structure. Mnangagwa just fired Army Chief Anselem Sanyatwe and reshuffled the heads...
Blessed Geza just said sorry to people he once hurt. This expelled Zanu PF Central Committee member begged forgiveness right before the big March 31, 2025, protest against President Mnangagwa. He admitted to helping harm hundreds who had backed the opposition since 2000. Those victims faced killing, torture, and sexual assault after the Movement for Democratic Change appeared with leader Richard Morgan Tsvangirai in 1999.
Opposition members suffered badly from Zanu PF gangs after 2000. The year 2008 stands out as especially awful. Back then, militant youth groups and war veterans tortured people, abducted them, and broke many human rights rules against MDC supporters. Many will view Geza with doubt since he freely joined these terrible...
Police arrested Trevor Dongo on March 26 after a fire damaged his rental apartment. They let him go the same day. The authorities charged the musician with destroying property on purpose. They made him sign a warning paper before they freed him. His friend Dumisani Mthombeni stayed by his side throughout this ordeal.
Trevor swears he had nothing to do with starting the fire. He claims he wasn't even around when flames broke out at the place. The musician firmly denied all blame when questioned about what happened. Law enforcement officials have not shared what evidence led them to suspect his involvement.
The army just put retired general Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe into government as the new Minister of Sports, Recreation, Arts, and Culture. He took the oath recently at a ceremony where he became part of the official cabinet. Many people raised questions about why he stepped down from military service right before this happened.
Critics believe the government planned his retirement as a clever move against protesters. They say his absence from military leadership aims to weaken the upcoming March 31 movement by removing a key figure from the command structure. The timing seemed carefully arranged to many observers who watch political developments closely.
After the swearing-in ceremony, Sanyatwe told reporters he was thankful for his new...
I doubt Blessed Geza really has the army on his side for his March 31 protest. The truth is simple - the military stays tight with Zanu-PF. Mnangagwa picked former general Constantino Chiwenga as his deputy, showing how close these ties run. Since 2017, army leaders have stood firmly behind Mnangagwa.
Remember when they brought out tanks against protesters in 2018? They crushed those election demonstrations fast. Sure, Geza fought in the liberation war, but that history means little against current power structures. He calls his event an "uprising" instead of a protest, but tough talk alone won't sway generals.
Military leaders care about keeping their position, not old battle friendships. War veterans did matter once - they even...
Congress just introduced a bill to celebrate 250 years since Morocco first accepted the United States as a country in 1777. Representatives Brad Schneider from Illinois and Joe Wilson from South Carolina started the bill, which went to the Foreign Affairs Committee. They want everyone to know that on December 1, 2027, our nations will have kept friendly ties for two and a half centuries.
During the Revolutionary War, Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah let American ships use Moroccan ports beginning December 1, 1777. This marked the official start of our friendship. The Continental Congress wrote its first letter to Morocco in December 1780, saying America wanted peace and friendship with the kingdom.
Both countries made it official in...
