War veteran Blessed Geza has strongly criticized President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his associates, whom he refers to as the “Zvigananda,” for their attempts to reverse Zimbabwe’s land reform program.

In a statement released on Monday, Geza expressed his gratitude to citizens who supported his call for protests against Mnangagwa’s third-term agenda.

Geza’s Statement:

“I am Blessed Geza, Comrade Bombshell.

First of all, I want to thank all Zimbabweans who answered our call to take action. This morning, I walked through the streets of Harare to assess the situation. The streets were empty, completely empty. I received similar reports from other cities as well. This is incredibly encouraging. You have sent a clear message that you want Emmerson and his corrupt cabal, the Zvigananda, to go.

This is just the beginning of the journey to send him packing, and I assure you, his days are numbered. We will not stop until he’s gone.

Keep pushing, stay strong. We need to maintain the momentum.

We have observed the police’s brutal actions against innocent, peaceful protesters. Emmerson is using the police to instill fear in the public rather than engaging with them or simply resigning as he should.

Mutamba, I want to warn you: The children of Zimbabwe have a right to protest. It is their democratic right. According to our constitution, we are no different from countries like South Africa. You are oppressing people. What you are doing is no different from what Ian Smith did.

So tell me, who do you think you are, trying to twist the constitution created by 13 million people?

Emmerson’s days in power are numbered. Stop this behavior immediately.

I called for the March 31 protest, and people responded by closing their shops in support of the demonstration, but the police decided to block them. This shows how desperate they are to cling to power. Let me remind the police: your duty is to maintain law and order, not to create crimes. You are supposed to protect citizens as they exercise their constitutional rights, not tear gas them into submission. The police should protect the people, not criminals, including Mnangagwa himself.

To the police force, I want to open your eyes. You can’t be bribed with $50 to deny your fellow citizens their constitutional right to protest. You must realize that Mnangagwa’s departure will benefit you.

Currently, you are earning slave wages, yet you need to provide for your children, ensure they receive good education, access decent healthcare, travel on good roads, and eat nutritious food. But this government you are protecting is denying you all of this.

Open your eyes, the time has come for Emmerson, his cabal, and their allies, including Tagwirei, to go. And you, the police, soldiers, and the CIO, you have a duty to protect the public from Emmerson, Tagwirei, and the mercenaries they’ve hired to terrorize you.

Tagwirei and Emmerson, your theft and exploitation of Zimbabweans has gone on for too long. The blood that was shed for the land cannot be ignored. The war veterans, the late President Robert Mugabe, and the people fought for land reform to return land to the black masses. You and Emmerson now seek to reverse this program.

You want to steal land and use your banks to further your agenda.

Which program has ever been funded by only two banks? What this means is that when people take loans from these banks, the banks will demand title deeds as collateral. This means that as you repay the loan, the land will no longer be yours — it will be owned by the banks. But, in reality, it will be Emmerson and Tagwirei’s land, because if you fail to repay the loan, the land will be taken away from you.

But these issues pale in comparison to your attempt to reverse the land reform program. We say enough is enough. By the end of this week, Emmerson will be gone. I don’t see this program going ahead.

ZANU PF youths, stop your behavior, which is being orchestrated by Mutamba, Paradza, and Machakaire, where you wear police uniforms to harass your own parents and relatives trying to survive.

What we are doing is not for ourselves. We are in the afternoon of our lives, but it hurts us to see a country destroyed by Emmerson and his cabal. These efforts are for you, the youth. You are the ones without jobs, turning to drugs, and facing an uncertain future. We are fighting for you, so you can inherit a country with a right character.

Kuda Tagwirei, don’t underestimate us. You are too young to play these games. Your greed is evident, and we see how you, together with Emmerson, have been siphoning the country’s wealth. We’ve discussed how you monopolize government companies, obtain banks without paying, and then get the government to pay for them. We know your corruption.

Your corruption doesn’t end there. You’ve even infiltrated the Seventh Day Adventist Church, where there are now quarrels because of your actions. You use your ill-gotten money to buy influence in the church, yet you present yourself as a righteous person.

And now you want to turn the country into a battleground for your own selfish ambitions. Thousands of people did not die for you and Emmerson to pursue your political games. Thousands died for the freedom and independence of Zimbabwe. Stop this now, or face the consequences.

Regarding the protest, I have decided to call it off for now. I have received intelligence that Sean Mnangagwa has bought explosives with the intention of bombing certain targets tonight and blaming me. This is an attempt to label me as a terrorist.

We held our peaceful protest today, and a statement has already been made. For now, let’s call off further action.

I will return to you on Wednesday with a crucial announcement that will change the direction of our struggle and take us to a new level.

Thank you, and God bless you all.”
