Zanu PF Expels War Veteran Blessed ‘Bombshell’ Geza After Call for Mnangagwa to Resign
In a widely anticipated move, Zanu PF has expelled Central Committee member and war veteran Blessed Runesu Geza at a Mashonaland West provincial leadership meeting.
Fierce Critic of Mnangagwa’s 2030 Bid
Geza, popularly known as “Bombshell,” made headlines for fiercely opposing calls to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term to 2030. He famously quipped, “The only 2030 Mnangagwa will see is half past eight on the clock.”
His criticism didn’t stop there. Speaking at a recent press conference streamed by HStv, Geza boldly called for Mnangagwa to step down immediately, accusing him of failing to deliver on the promises he made when he took power in 2017.

Following his remarks, thousands of Zanu PF members gathered at NorthCourt Stadium in Zvimba East Constituency to discuss his fate. Senior party officials, including war veterans, Politburo members, and Central Committee representatives, ultimately resolved to expel Geza from the party.
The decision was later confirmed by ZimLive on X (formerly Twitter), which reported:
“Blessed Geza, a Zanu PF central committee member and war veteran who declared that “the only 2030 President Mnangagwa will see is half past eight on the clock” has been expelled from the party at a Mashonaland West gathering of the Zanu PF provincial leadership.”

In the comments, Zimbabweans remarked how the development was eerily similar to those that preceded Operation Restore Legacy in 2017. Social media users suggested history could be repeating itself.
Here are some of the reactions:

@CdeTongogara1:
Mashwest does not have powet to expell. They only give recommendations to the national. However, even if the mafikizolos expell him today, they wont remove his liberation credentials which are more critucal than being a party member.
