Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30252, member: 2262"] People across Zimbabwe feel nervous as Monday, March 31, 2025, approaches. Everyone expects big protests that day. War veteran Blessed Geza wants President Emmerson Mnangagwa to quit his job. Many citizens feel angry about money problems, stolen cash by officials, and family members getting government jobs. Geza used to belong to the ZANU-PF party but changed sides. He became one of the biggest critics of Mnangagwa. He calls next Monday an uprising to push the president out of power. Geza said earlier this week that people suffered enough and that Mnangagwa should leave. His message connects with many Zimbabweans who struggle with high prices, no jobs, and a daily life becoming harder. The government plans to fight back hard against these protests. Police and soldiers wait in cities and towns everywhere in the country. They have already set up roadblocks. People report seeing more security watching the streets as officials prepare for possible trouble. Zimbabwe often crushes anyone who speaks against its leaders. Government forces typically use rough methods to stop protests. Experts say this protest faces big problems. Opposition parties did not join together to support it. The government stands ready to use the police and military. Political expert Tinashe Moyo said the state prepared itself, but opposition groups remain split apart. Everyone sees the public anger clearly. Zimbabwe's economy crashed years ago. Citizens deal with missing basic items in stores, electricity that comes and goes, and money worth less each day. Stories about corruption and special treatment for friends make people even more upset. Nobody knows if enough angry people will actually show up to make these protests work. [/QUOTE]
