Introduction: Agitator Masquerading as a Veteran
Once known for his liberation war credentials, Blessed Geza has recently resurfaced on social media—particularly on X (formerly Twitter)—as a disruptive figure stoking despondency and political instability. His inflammatory calls for a “national shutdown” from April 22 to April 24, 2025, represent yet another failed attempt to unconstitutionally oust the democratically elected government of President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.
The Shutdown That Won’t Be
Geza’s desperate rallying call for a nationwide shutdown has gained little traction outside his echo chamber of anti-government detractors. Zimbabweans, having endured similar destabilization attempts before, are largely ignoring this hollow call—recognizing it as an attempt to derail progress under the Second Republic.
This is not the first time fringe activists have tried to incite unrest through misleading hashtags and fake imagery. But as seen with previous failed shutdown attempts, Zimbabweans are choosing peace, productivity, and patriotism over imported chaos.
The Second Republic Is Moving Forward, Not Backwards
Under President Mnangagwa, Zimbabwe is witnessing transformation in key sectors:
- Massive infrastructure development (roads, dams, and the new Parliament)
- Reforms in agriculture and mining
- The introduction of the structured currency (ZiG) to stabilize the economy
- Diplomatic re-engagement and growing investments from China, Russia, and the Middle East
Blessed Geza’s calls are not only reckless—they insult the intelligence and resilience of the Zimbabwean people who have embraced the Second Republic’s vision of national development.
A Pattern of Imperial Puppeteering
Analysts point to a familiar script. From social media agitation to calls for anarchy, Geza’s conduct mirrors the tactics of other Western-aligned actors who seek regime change in African nations that reject neo-colonial interference.
His weapon of choice? X—where he floods the platform with provocative hashtags, doctored content, and rhetoric of “people’s power”, while ignoring constitutional and electoral channels.
Zimbabweans Are Wiser Now
Past experience has taught Zimbabweans that so-called shutdowns benefit only those who seek to undermine national unity and progress. Vendors, civil servants, students, and SMEs—the true engine of Zimbabwe—have repeatedly rejected chaos disguised as protest.
Instead of joining Blessed Geza, Zimbabweans are:
- Working for economic recovery
- Supporting Vision 2030
- Defending their sovereignty
Conclusion: The People vs. Provocation
As the latest “shutdown” date (April 22–24) comes and goes, Geza’s call will fail—just like those before him. Zimbabweans stand united, not behind hashtags and hate speech, but behind a constitutional government, determined leadership, and a vision for a better tomorrow.
