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 of police and intelligence services. This appears to strengthen his control. Would he make these bold moves if Geza posed a serious threat with military backing?
Geza probably has a handful of sympathetic former comrades. Maybe some disgruntled veterans appreciate his anti-Mnangagwa messages. But full military support? It's highly unlikely. His planned March 31 protests already face serious government opposition. Police are currently searching for him on incitement charges. The armed forces show zero signs of supporting his cause.
He stands a much higher chance of landing in prison than receiving military salutes. The evidence points to Geza as an isolated figure without institutional backing from Zimbabwe's security forces. His military connections remain minimal despite his efforts to appear otherwise.
