ZANU PF LEADERSHIP CRISIS: WAR VETERANS LEADER EXPOSES “CRIMINALS” IN MNANGAGWA’S CAMP

Zimbabwe is once again caught in political drama as Blessed Geza, a war veterans leader, has publicly accused several top officials of being criminals. Geza, who is leading a faction aligned with Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga, has declared that his group will take action against these alleged criminals. This comes amid a fierce succession battle between Chiwenga’s camp and President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s loyalists.

Geza, also known as “Cde Bombshell,” has vowed that March 31 will be a turning point. He has openly declared that he and his faction are not backing down, despite opposition from Mnangagwa’s inner circle. According to Geza, there are people around Mnangagwa who are causing problems and making life harder for ordinary Zimbabweans, especially farmers. He accused them of stealing money and manipulating the system for personal gain.

One of the main targets of Geza’s speech was Kudakwashe Tagwirei. Geza claims that Tagwirei is aiming to become the president after First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa has her turn. He accused Tagwirei of taking many government contracts and using his influence to gain wealth.

Another figure Geza targeted is Wicknell Chivayo, who he claims has no official business papers but somehow secures government tenders. Geza accused him of getting paid in advance for projects that never happen. One such project is the Gwanda solar project, where money disappeared without any accountability. Geza claimed that Chivayo is being protected by Mnangagwa.

Geza also named Pedzisayi Scott Sakupwanya, who he says charges 7% on deals and shares the loot with Mnangagwa. Another named figure is George Guvamatanga, accused of taking 10% from deals and buying properties worldwide, using what Geza claims is stolen money from Zimbabweans.

Geza didn’t stop there. He mentioned Julius Charumbira, John Mangudya, Mthuli Ncube, Obey Chimuka, and a person he only identified as “Tungwarara.” He described Tungwarara as someone who disrespects war veterans and the sacrifices made during the liberation struggle. He accused him of being heartless toward those who fought for the country.

Geza also called out Daniel Garwe, who he accused of betraying the liberation fighters by calling them “dogs.” He further mentioned Owen Mudha Ncube, who he claims lacks formal education and is involved in terrorizing civilians and exploiting young girls.

Another controversial figure on his list is Tatenda Mavetera, the Minister of ICT, whom Geza hinted at having a questionable relationship with Mnangagwa. He also mentioned Mabel Chinonona, accusing her of being hostile towards war veterans, questioning her loyalty to the liberation cause.

Geza did not spare Jacob Mudenda, accusing him of plotting to become Vice-President by manipulating public representatives. He also called out Tino Machakaire, Youth Minister, and Christopher Mutsvangwa, ZANU PF Spokesperson. Geza urged Mutsvangwa to reconsider his loyalty to Mnangagwa, questioning what the president has done since the liberation struggle.

Further, Geza criticized John Paradza, accusing him of being uneducated and undeserving of his position. He also mentioned Lovemore Matuke, whose father allegedly sold out people during the liberation war.

Ezra Chadzamira, Goodwills Masomirembwa, Polite Kambamura, Ziyambi Ziyambi, Edson Chiherende, Munyaradzi Machacha, and Douglas Mahiya were also named in Geza’s long list of accused people. He described them as a network of criminals loyal to Mnangagwa, stealing from the country while ordinary citizens suffer.

Geza’s statement is a bold move, and it shows just how divided ZANU PF has become. The succession battle between Chiwenga and Mnangagwa’s camps seems to be getting uglier by the day. The political situation in Zimbabwe is more tense than ever, with accusations flying and rival camps plotting against each other.

Many Zimbabweans are watching closely, wondering whether this internal war will change anything for the better. For now, Blessed Geza has drawn a line in the sand, and it seems he is not willing to retreat. As March 31 approaches, Zimbabwe holds its breath, waiting to see how this battle will unfold and what it means for the country’s future.
