War veteran Blessed Geza called for Zimbabweans to stay home during the Easter holidays. He wanted President Mnangagwa to resign and for corrupt officials to be arrested. His message accused top leaders of stealing national resources through shady deals. Despite these serious claims, cities remained busy on April 22, the first planned protest day. People went about their normal business as if nothing had changed.

Many might think Zimbabweans accept their suffering. The real issue was that Geza targeted the wrong audience. His YouTube videos reached only those with smartphones and data. These people still have something to lose from missing work. They have learned to live with hardship and focus on daily survival. Opposition leaders also avoid risk because they live comfortable lives compared to most citizens.

The true potential revolutionaries never heard Geza speak. They lack internet access or devices. These rural poor and urban destitute face hunger and cannot afford healthcare. Their grandparents joined liberation movements decades ago because they had nothing left to lose. Geza forgot that revolutions need face-to-face contact with desperate people. No movement succeeds through the internet alone.
