Zimbabwe President Mnangagwa told people not to believe everything on social media during the country's 45th Independence Day celebrations last Friday. He said many posts aim to create division among citizens. His warning came after former war veteran Blessed Caesar Geza called for nationwide protests against the government. Geza wants the President to step down because he thinks the government fails to fix economic problems. Mnangagwa dismissed these calls as attempts to cause trouble.
The President praised security forces for protecting the nation and asked citizens to watch out for false information online that spreads fear. Political experts criticized his speech for avoiding economic issues, as corruption continues. Parliament closed early before Independence Day amid rumors that some lawmakers planned to remove Mnangagwa from office. He also missed a planned Easter appearance, sending another official instead.
Geza keeps pushing for protests to force Mnangagwa out. The President claims his government remains focused on development despite challenges. He pointed to farming reforms, rural development programs, and land ownership documents as proof of progress. His famous Vision 2030 slogans were missing from the celebration. The government insists it works to improve living conditions for all Zimbabweans.
