Party rift as Mnangagwa eyes a third term
Some people in Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu-PF want to hold protests because they need answers about whether President Emmerson Mnangagwa plans to stay longer than allowed. This has created major problems within the party. A team connected to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and military leaders demands that Mnangagwa step down before April starts. This fight has made everyone inside the party very nervous. The government security teams have promised they will stop any street demonstrations. The big problem started because Mnangagwa, who is 82 years old, keeps saying different things. He claimed at least five times since last year that he would leave office when his term finishes in 2028. But his party works on changing the Constitution...
Army wins back Khartoum city is free
Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan returned to Khartoum after the army took control of the city's airport. Sudan's military leader visited the presidential palace, where soldiers cheered as he announced, "Khartoum is free." The army recaptured this important building on Friday, along with other government places that RSF fighters had taken over. A top army official told the BBC that they had completely secured the airport and might push out the rest of the RSF fighters by evening. The RSF has controlled most of Khartoum since the fighting started in April 2023. The war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions to leave their homes across Sudan. The army also grabbed Manshiya Bridge - the last one held by RSF - plus a...

Fake loot claims fall flat Chivayo proves his net worth
The things Blessed Runesu Geza said about Sir Wicknell Chivayo just plain miss the mark. Chivayo never looted anything or got special favors from President Mnangagwa. These claims ignore how Chivayo built himself up as a businessman whose work reaches across many African countries. He runs Intratrek Zimbabwe, a company that helps build important projects our country needs. Anyone saying he only succeeded because of who he knows isn't looking at the facts. This man worked hard and planned smart moves throughout his career. He didn't just make it big in Zimbabwe either - his business success in other SADC countries proves he knows what he's doing in tough markets. The man has skills that let him win fair and square wherever he goes...
PM asks Tigray locals to pick a new leader
Ethiopia's prime minister plans to name a new leader for the troubled Tigray region after its interim President, Getachew Reda, ran away to Addis Ababa because of power fights in the Tigray People's Liberation Front. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed asked people from Tigray to email him suggestions about who should lead next. Many worry these internal battles might restart the civil war that killed around half a million people. Abiy said Wednesday that Tigray's leaders failed to set up elections after the 2020-22 civil war between TPLF and Ethiopia's government. The Pretoria Agreement peace deal stopped the terrible conflict and created a temporary government to run things until voting could happen. Getachew took charge under this agreement...
Sanyatwe is the new boss of sports arts and culture
President Mnangagwa just named Lieutenant-General Anselem Sanyatwe to head up Zimbabwe's Sports Ministry after Kirsty Coventry landed the top job at the International Olympic Committee. Mnangagwa removed Coventry from her cabinet position following her recent election as IOC president. Dr. Martin Rushwaya, who serves as Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, announced that Sanyatwe would take over right away. The President first pulled Sanyatwe from military service before giving him the government job. Mnangagwa used his authority as Commander in Chief to retire Sanyatwe from his position leading the Zimbabwe National Army. This move cleared the path for his immediate transfer to civilian leadership of the sports department...
Geza blasts ZANU-PF elite, calls Zimbabweans to protest Mar 31
War veteran Blessed Geza has sparked major conflict with Zimbabwe's leaders by directly challenging top ZANU-PF officials. During his national address, "This is the Time for Action, Zimbabwe!" Geza, who previously served on ZANU-PF's central committee, publicly accused Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube and Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi of stealing government money. Geza, who previously served on ZANU-PF's central committee, promised that fellow war veterans would take action themselves to force accountability. He stated they would confront these alleged thieves until President Emmerson Mnangagwa faces pressure to resign. Geza asked all citizens to join nationwide street protests on March 31 as part of his anti-corruption campaign. He...
Geza latest news - M31 Movement
War veteran Blessed Geza pointed fingers at thirty-five people during his Wednesday night talk at 8:30. He started with Kudakwashe Tagwirei, saying he wants to become president after Auxillia takes her turn. Geza claimed Tagwirei grabs all contracts through many companies. Moving next to Wicknell Chivayo, Geza stated he lacks proper company papers yet calls himself "Sir" and receives advance payments for tenders. Geza mentioned Pedzai Scott Sakupwanya, who charges seven percent to split stolen money with ED, and George Guvamatanga, who takes ten percent from deals and has bought properties worldwide with public funds. Julius Charumbira at Newlands made the list along with former Reserve Bank Governor John Panonetsa Mangudya, whom Geza...
Geza rallies Zimbabweans on M31 to nab ED cronies
Blessed Runesu Geza, nicknamed "Bombshell," urged every Zimbabwean to join him on M31 to remove ED from power. He told everyone his team wouldn't just wait around for that date. They planned to start hunting down what he called "criminals" surrounding ED that very night. Their actions would target specific people first. During his speech, Geza shared a list containing more than 20 names of people he claims help ED steal from Zimbabwe. He mentioned several high-profile figures, including Chivhayo, Scott Sakupwanya, Mangudya, Mtuli Ncube, Chinomona, Mutsvangwa, Auxilia Mnangagwa, Guvamatanga, Tagwireyi, Kazembe Kazembe, Ziyambi Ziyambi, Matuke, Garwe, Mavetera, Machakaire, and Paradza, among others.
