BREAKING: EXILE DEATH OF BLESSED GEZA SHAKES ZIMBABWE POLITICS
Zimbabwean war veteran Blessed Geza, who rose to prominence after boldly calling for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s resignation, has died in exile in South Africa, his family has confirmed. He had been battling cancer.
Geza became a household name in recent months after launching fierce public attacks against Mnangagwa, accusing him of attempting to manipulate the Constitution to unlawfully extend his presidency beyond the 2028 limit to 2030. His outspoken stance won him a large and loyal following, particularly among frustrated war veterans and ruling party supporters opposed to term extension.
Forced into exile amid mounting political pressure, Geza continued to speak out from across the border, cementing his image as a defiant voice of resistance.
Politically, Geza was widely regarded as an ally of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who is seen by many as the front runner to succeed Mnangagwa when his term ends in 2028. His death is likely to deepen tensions within Zimbabwe’s already fractured political landscape, as allies and critics alike weigh the impact of losing such a controversial figure.
