Blessed "Bombshell" Geza calling for 17 October protest. He called ED2030 bulls**t and has been Mnangagwa's gadfly ever since. W Mukori

 "Calls for protests from a South African hideout as ZANU-PF heads to Conference. Blessed Geza has once again exposed himself - not as a revolutionary, but as a keyboard coward. As the nation prepares for the ZANU PF Conference on Friday, 17 October 2025, Geza is plotting chaos from across the Limpopo, urging protests instead of facing the people," wrote Peter Chirau in Bulawayo 24.

Mnangagwa and his cronies were very pleased with themselves when the managed to arm-twist the delegates to the Zanu PF October 2024 conference to past Resolution No 1 calling on the party to pull all the stops to ensure Mnangagwa remains in office until 2030, ED2030 was born. Their celebrations were cut short when Blessed “Bombshell” Geza and a handful of his fellow war veterans gave their interview in January 2025 dismissing the ED2030 as “bulls***t!

Of course, it is bulls***t Mnangagwa, his cronies and the whole nation knows that it is bulls***t and that is why is has so much traction even to this day. Mnangagwa was forced to put ED2030 on the back burners whilst he mounted a no expense spared campaign to woo the war veterans, Army officers and other Zanu PF leaders with bribes. Whilst the government has once again failed to provide resources to buy medicine and book, Mnangagwa has squandered billions off dollars buying bicycles, cars and build houses - bribes. 

Mnangagwa has done a lot of in-house cleaning of the party; known Chiwenga loyalists have been fired. Mnangagwa and his team were hoping that the 17 October 2025 Zanu PF Conference will endorse Resolution No. 1, ED2030. They must be seething with anger and frustration that Bombshell has re-emerged to spoil their party. 

Bombshell represents the ED2030 is bulls****t! Mnangagwa know that he cannot shake this because it is true!

Geza’s 31 March 2025 street protest fizzled to nothing because as much as people agreed that ED2030 is bulls***t they also know that Geza’s promise to replace Mnangagwa with Chiwenga will bring no meaningful change. The 2017 coup swapped one dictator for another and it accomplished nothing, the people are loathed to see history repeating itself.
