Zimbabwe army leaders spoke up against people wearing military clothes or pretending to be soldiers. They made this statement after war veteran Blessed Geza appeared in a viral video wearing a full army uniform. Geza wants President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down right away and demands police arrest his friends, who he says steal huge amounts of money.

Many social media channels shared the video in which Geza calls for mass protests on March 31. He hopes these protests will force out Mnangagwa, who still has three years left as president. Geza feels angry because Mnangagwa wants to change the Constitution for personal benefit. Some party members want him to stay until 2030, even though the law says he must leave by 2028 after serving two terms.

The defense forces stated they worry about regular citizens misusing military uniforms. They reminded everyone that according to the Defense Act, wearing army clothes when you are not a soldier breaks the law. Anyone who wears military decorations without permission can be arrested and charged. The army asked people to report anyone they saw wearing uniforms outside military areas.

Despite these warnings from officials, many believe Geza enjoys protection from parts of the Zimbabwe army itself. People think he promotes ideas that match what military leaders want - namely, putting Vice President Constantino Chiwenga into power. The current tensions show deep divisions within the ruling party as different groups fight for control of the country.
