Blessed Runesu Geza, a prominent war veteran and ZANU PF central committee member known as Bombshell, has distanced himself from an X account that issued a 10-day ultimatum to President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down or face unspecified consequences.
On Sunday, Geza, along with five other former combatants, held a press conference where they called for Mnangagwa’s resignation, accusing him of corruption, nepotism, and tribalism, among other failings. Following this, an X account under the name Cde Blessed R Geza, created in November 2023, continued to criticize the president.
One of the posts from this account warned Mnangagwa that he had 10 days to respond to the issues raised in the press conference, threatening that failure to do so would lead to serious consequences. The post claimed, “We’ve the undoubted capacity to cause pandemonium and restore real order in Zimbabwe like never before.”
However, Geza denied any connection to the account, telling NewsDay that he believes the account was set up by State agents to tarnish his reputation and potentially lead to charges of inciting public violence. Geza clarified, “I don’t have an X account, I’ve never opened one and I don’t even know how to open it.”
He further accused State agents of being behind the account, adding, “They should know that I am more trained than them.”
