Zimbabwe spy bosses blacklisted war hero Andreas Ethan Mathibela as a security risk. He faces travel bans at all border crossings. Government officials passed down this order on March 19, 2025. Guards at Plumtree, Maitengwe, and Mphoengs must stop him and alert headquarters immediately.
Mathibela runs the main war veterans group across Zimbabwe. He attacks President Emmerson Mnangagwa openly at every opportunity and wants him removed from office. His ally, Blessed Geza, shares these views and urges everyday citizens to stand against their leaders.
The travel restrictions arrive during a fierce power battle inside the ruling Zanu PF party. President Mnangagwa fights Vice President Constantino Chiwenga for leadership. War veterans stand at the center of this political crisis. Mathibela blasts current officials as corrupt and claims they award positions to family members.
These veterans fought during earlier conflicts to bring freedom to Zimbabwe. The tension exploded Monday when several young men disrupted Mathibela's press meeting. Mathibela accused them of working as government agents directly. He cautioned that silencing veterans might trigger violent responses.
Mathibela supports Geza, who escaped to South Africa after his expulsion from Zanu PF. Authorities arrested journalist Blessed Mhlanga merely for reporting Geza's statements. Mathibela promises street demonstrations will happen Thursday regardless of opposition. He informed police leadership and dared them to attempt to stop the protesters.
