Police beefed up security across Zimbabwe after former party member Blessed Geza called for protests. The stay-away should happen April 22-23, 2025. Officers will arrest anyone who causes trouble during these days. People can move freely around the country with police watching every area. Law enforcement has spread throughout cities, homes, and factories to keep peace.
The protest calls came during the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair in Bulawayo. Many foreigners are expected to visit this event, with Mozambique President Daniel Chapo expected to attend. Police promise safety for all visitors attending the fair. Officials want business to continue normally despite protest threats. Geza lost his place in the ruling party last year for disrespecting President Mnangagwa.
He appears online wearing military clothes, asking citizens to stay home indefinitely. He claims the president cannot lead anymore because of health problems. The government warns people not to believe social media messages trying to create disorder. Similar protests called for March 31 failed when heavy security appeared everywhere. The ruling party said those earlier protests barely happened despite online talk.
