Zimbabwe Government Dismisses Blessed Geza’s Calls for Protest, Warns Against Incitement
The government of Zimbabwe has dismissed war veteran Blessed ‘Bombshell’ Geza statements as baseless and warned against any attempts to incite unrest.
This comes after Blessed Geza, who made headlines for fiercely opposing calls to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term to 2030, reappeared on social media on Tuesday after going into hiding.
Speaking to ZBC News, Minister of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services, Dr. Jenfan Muswere, assured the nation that no violent demonstrations would be tolerated.
He urged Zimbabweans to ignore what he described as Blessed Geza’s “delusional rumblings.”
“We would like to assure the nation that no violent demonstration will ever see the light of day. Zimbabweans are encouraged to ignore Geza’s delusional rumblings. Polemic and reactionary grandstanding is a clear misdirection of ambition.”
Dr. Muswere accused Geza and his associates of being divisive elements attempting to sow discord, stating that their efforts would not succeed. He also labeled Geza a fugitive from justice and warned that authorities would soon take action against his inflammatory remarks.
“He and his team have no moral nor legal authority to speak on behalf of anyone. There are divisionalist and factionalist hellbent on sowing seeds of division, but all their efforts will not bear fruit.
He is a fugitive from justice and it will not be long before his inflammatory statements are dealt with. He is a self-serving individual, falsely claiming to speak on behalf of veterans of the liberation struggle and his rants are nothing but hallucinations.”
