Zanu PF is reportedly on high alert following increasing calls from various groups for mass protests aimed at forcing President Emmerson Mnangagwa to resign. As the end of the month approaches, the ruling party has heightened its vigilance and issued stern warnings to anyone threatening national stability.
Zanu PF Director of Information and Publicity Farai Marapira confirmed the party’s preparedness in the face of these protests. “We are closely monitoring the situation, and I assure the nation that we will not tolerate any efforts to undermine peace and stability in our country,” Marapira stated.Despite the mounting calls for change, Zanu PF has consistently reiterated its stance that the President’s leadership is secure and
that the country will not be swayed by any protests or external pressure. However, the tension within the party and its leadership continues to grow as March 31 draws nearer.The planned protests, which are set for March 31, are allegedly being led by certain factions within the war veterans community, including figures like Blessed Geza, who has openly criticized President Mnangagwa’s leadership. Geza and other disgruntled voices claim that Mnangagwa has failed the nation and should step down immediately.
A key figure believed to be orchestrating the demonstrations is Jeremiah Masawi, a controversial online personality known as “Comrade Nyokayemabhunu.” Nyokayemabhunu has called for a “final push” on social media, urging his followers to take to the streets on March 31 to demand the President’s resignation. In one of his posts on X (formerly Twitter), he declared, “This is the time! March 31 is the day we make our voices heard, and show Mnangagwa that enough is enough!”
Marapira responded firmly during an interview with ZiFM Stereo, emphasizing that Zanu PF is not a party to take such threats lightly. “We will not allow any individual or group to use violence or coercion to achieve political aims. Let me be clear: there is no room for any form of unrest in this country,” Marapira warned. “Comrade Nyokayemabhunu should be careful not to incite chaos or engage in activities that threaten the peace.”
