Former ZANU-PF Central Committee member and war veteran Blessed Geza has cautioned that President Emmerson Mnangagwa could face a political confrontation at the upcoming ZANU-PF National Conference, signaling widening rifts within the ruling party. Posting on X, Geza claimed the conference would not be routine for Mnangagwa and his allies, whom he accused of exploiting party structures for personal benefit.

Geza also criticized party spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa for defending individuals Vice President Constantino Chiwenga had labeled as corrupt. He urged Mutsvangwa to retract his comments, praising Chiwenga for his role in the events that led to the end of Robert Mugabe’s rule.

The remarks come amid intensifying factional tensions between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga loyalists ahead of the 2027 ZANU-PF elective congress. Party insiders describe growing unrest among war veterans and provincial leaders calling for greater accountability and a revival of liberation values.

Analysts say Geza’s warning highlights an evolving power struggle within ZANU-PF, where internal dissent is becoming increasingly open. The party leadership has not yet responded to his statements.
