Zimbabwean war veteran and former intelligence officer Blessed “Bombshell” Geza, the face of the anti-Emmerson Mnangagwa 2030 campaign, has announced that he will deliver a message at 8:30 PM Zimbabwean time following the dismissal of Zimbabwe’s Army (ground forces) commander, General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwa, yesterday by President Mnangagwa. Geza and his group oppose Mnangagwa’s plan to violate the constitution and extend his corrupt rule to 15 years by seeking a third term in office. General Sanyatwe is an ally of Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga, whom Mnangagwa does not want to succeed him, fearing a ruthless investigation into his corrupt dealings. Geza and his allies have encouraged Zimbabweans to take part in an uprising against Mnangagwa’s corrupt rule on the 31st of March.

War veterans leader, former intelligence officer and Member of Parliament Blessed “Bombshell” Geza, who is leading the push to remove Zimbabwe’s corrupt dictator, Emmerson Mnangagwa, has called for a two-day shutdown of the country on the 22nd and 23rd of April. Geza listed a litany of reasons why Mnangagwa should go, including corruption, derelict hospitals, and the general suffering Zimbabweans are subjected to under the corrupt dictator. Geza led a shutdown of Zimbabwe on 31 March 2025, which forced Mnangagwa to abandon his attempt to extend his term of office from 2028 to 2030. Geza, a member of ZANUPF’s Central Committee until his recent expulsion by Mnangagwa, said Zimbabweans must unite and use all methods available, including shutdowns, to put pressure on the aging dictator to go.

“We have rejected the 2030 agenda,” these youths are singing in Harare’s Rotten Row area. President Emmerson Mnangagwa is attempting to violate the constitution and extend his term of office to 2030. A resistance movement dubbed M31, centred around a war veteran and former intelligence officer called Blessed “Bombshell” Geza, who is pro–Vice President General Chiwenga, is opposing Mnangagwa’s move. The crowds are building up, and interestingly, the military has refrained from its usual repressive tactics.

See the kind of hatred this convert, Bh@dwa Prakash Raj, has toward the Bhagwa, the RSS, and even the Prime Minister of India. He cannot tolerate a government that stands for Hindus. He does not merely propagate propaganda against the government and Hindus; it is his deep hatred toward Hindus that drives him. He is constantly trying to incite riots against Hindus and the government. He is a naxal. This is what happens when someone gets converted. Converts are a threat to indigenous people and to the integrity of the nation.

It is a fact, the businessman is a fat businessman: Chivayo is a briefcase business person. When he was given the tender to put power in Gwanda, he squandered the money. Where else is he being given, you know, security so that it is the continues? Chivayo is another person. We are not going to talk about a non entity like him, because he is of no consequence in the country, but except that he is being used as a tool of a system that is corrupt.

Kubakwake clearly stated in this video that he was the one who gave Minister of Justice Mr Ziyambi Ziyambi instructions to change our constitution to suit their selfish agenda for 2030. Kubakwake is very toxic and has clearly captured the state. He must be stopped as a matter of urgency! #NoToED2030!

This is President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe saying that he has no desire to do more that 2 terns in office, that was in January 2018 talking to Richard Quest on CNN. It is a public secret that the Third Term movement is already in motion. What you need to know is that a Third Term at law is illegal for President Mnangagwa, it is unconstitutional! The constitution of Zimbabwe clearly states that to remove presidential term limits, you must have a referendum first. Even if that referendum happens and voters agree to the removal of term limits, the current President can’t benefit from such a move, it will be illegal. Only his successor can benefit. Sadly there is an illegal and unconstitutional precedent that was set, Chief Justice Luke Malaba is currently in his position illegally and unconstitutionally, they broke the constitution by giving him another term. The constitution was clear that the current Chief Justice couldn’t benefit from a change of the law, it would only benefit his successor. So be prepared for another constitutional violation, President Mnangagwa’s supporters have already pushing for a Third Term, and knowing Zimbabweans and Zimbabwe, he will get it the same way Malaba got back illegally and unconditionally!

There’s something special about asking a set of questions that go to the heart of failure to deliver, in such a profound way that makes the target of the questions look utterly stupid. This is coming from a member of his own party. Not a Democrat. The reality is that DOGE did NOT deliver savings, it COST money. Thom Tillis knows this and so does Russell Vought, but he and his Trump enablers persist in these fantasy narratives that are bare faced lies. When this is all over as it will be, this criminal actor MUST be held accountable and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 🎥 TikTok -

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro on case against alleged press dinner gunman: "We have a lot of evidence that indicates his intent... whether it was, you know, following what the president was doing, where he was going, to the day of the of the event at the hotel. Tracking on his phone: Is the president in the ballroom yet? Has the president sat down yet? What time will dinner be served? This is clearly — the president is a target. And make no mistake, it is not just the manifesto, it is his actions."

🚨 NOW: It's been exposed JUST how screwed John Bolton is after being indicted under the Espionage Act, with a total of 18 counts Bolton might ALSO be a target because he could know of other deep state criminal activity...👀 "They are very difficult cases to defend against because it is in essence a simple analysis! Is the document classified? It in your possession? Did you purposefully possess the document in question?" "And then you reach other analyses. You look at what was the purpose for the for the possession to determine whether or not additional charges may be brought." "Bolton has a lot of knowledge and lot of insight. There's maybe an effort to also get his attention and get him talking about other things that he may have information about." "This is just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. I think it's a difficult case to defend against. He, of all people, should know. Doesn't matter if it's old or new materials. If it's classified and you possessed it, then it could be a crime."

Tonderai Chidawa, President of the Zimbabwe Youth Action Platform, an affiliate of Zanu PF and its youth League, says the 2030 agenda to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's rule beyond his 2028 second term constitutional limit is on and the window for different views on it has now closed. This comes ahead of the ruling party's annual conference in Mutare from 13-18 October, which aims to pass a resolution supporting its Bulawayo decision last year to extend Mnangagwa’s rule to 2030. But Mnangagwa indicated during a Zanu PF Central Committee meeting in Harare on Thursday that the elections are going ahead as scheduled in 2028, rejecting the 2030 agenda. He has publicly said he will step down when his term ends in 2028 because he is a "constitutionalist". However, Mnangagwa has been indicating right and turning left on this issue, with his staunch allies vigorously pushing for the 2030 agenda at his behest.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: Issuing arrest warrants against the Prime Minister is a declaration of war. Issuing arrest warrants against the Defense Minister and against the Finance Minister is a declaration of war. And in the face of a declaration of war, we will respond with war. I am not a submissive Jew. No. The Palestinian Authority started a war, and it will receive war. From today, every economic or other target within my authority to strike — whether as Finance Minister or as a minister in the Defense Ministry — will be attacked. Not with words or gimmicks, but with actions. And I announce here and now the first target that will be attacked: immediately after my remarks, we will sign an order for the evacuation of Khan al-Ahmar. I promise all of you — this is only the beginning.

This video has gone viral on social media because of what it is communicating. Zimbabwean businessman Kuda Tagwirei is very intentional. The video was released to show Chiwenga’s faction—and Zimbabweans at large—just how close Tagwirei is to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, following ZANUPF spokesman Chris Mutsvangwa’s public dressing down of Tagwirei at a press conference this week. Mnangagwa has three plans in place; Kuda Tagwirei takes over—not his deputy, General Constantino Chiwenga; or Mnangagwa secures a term extension and dies in office; or a dark horse—the foreign minister—steps in to block Chiwenga. General Chiwenga is not going to take over as president of Zimbabwe unless he fights back with the help of the army. After Mutsvangwa’s dismissal of Tagwirei, this was meant to show people in ZANUPF and others that they are trying to stop what, according to Mnangagwa’s camp, is unstoppable. In Mnangagwa’s Zimbabwe, power is not transferred—it is either inherited (Tagwirei or the foreign minister), extended (for himself, Mnangagwa), or taken by force (the only route for Chiwenga). Now to the trending issue from this video on social media; This video lays bare Kuda Tagwirei’s unsettling proximity to the president. When a notoriously corrupt businessman like Tagwirei is seen playing golf with the president—another man deeply tainted by corruption—it is not just a golf game. It is a brazen public obscene theatre of power. But when Tagwirei goes on to pet the president in front of the cameras, like a boy showing off his closeness to his uncle, it becomes something more politically disturbing. This is not the behaviour of a future statesman since Tagwirei wants to be President too. It is the behaviour of a man drunk on proximity to power; trying to project dominance through forced intimacy. It is undignified. It is unpresidential. It reveals not strength, but a desperate need to be seen as powerful by association with Mnangagwa. When Mnangagwa allows Tagwirei to publicly pet him like a favoured uncle, it reveals a startling lack of boundaries between the head of state and a corrupt businessman. We know they are both corrupt, but Mnangagwa occupies the highest office in the land of Zimbabwe. This is not mere familiarity; it is symbolic. It shows the world and particularly Zimbabweans that Mnangagwa no longer sees the presidency as an institution that must maintain distance, dignity, and authority. Instead, he is comfortable being treated casually as in this video, almost submissively, by someone who has gained immense wealth through state-connected tenders and corrupt deals. It signals that Tagwirei is not just close to Mnangagwa; but that he is thoroughly embedded in the system and powerful enough to blur the lines between private capital and state power. For Mnangagwa to publicly tolerate such behaviour is to admit, knowingly or not, that the presidency has been personalised and compromised and commands no respect in the eyes of the ordinary citizens. Chafumuka, or as Temba Mliswa once said; Chaora!! There are many presidents I talk to and can call at any time of the day and hug them when we meet at public gatherings, but I do not do that because I must respect the office they hold. We joke about things privately, but publicly I would never display unbridled familiarity. Doing so shows a lack of sophistication and a poor understanding of statecraft. What we have seen today is not leadership. This is a regime trying to turn cronyism into currency; and hoping the people are too tired or too scared to notice and talk about it. It is embarrassing, and that is why it is the talk of the town in Harare’s diplomatic circles tonight. They are laughing at us—not just at Mnangagwa and Tagwirei, but at the sheer lack of decorum!

There are many presidents I talk to and can call at any time of the day and hug them when we meet at public gatherings, but I do not do that because I must respect the office they hold. We joke about things privately, but publicly I would never display unbridled familiarity. Doing so shows a lack of sophistication and a poor understanding of statecraft. What we have seen today is not leadership. This is a regime trying to turn cronyism into currency; and hoping the people are too tired or too scared to notice and talk about it. It is embarrassing, and that is why it is the talk of the town in Harare’s diplomatic circles tonight. They are laughing at us—not just at Mnangagwa and Tagwirei, but at the sheer lack of decorum!
