On March 31, the security forces in Zimbabwe spent the entire day in separating small gatherings of people who were trying to organize a A peaceful protest Against the attempts of the Zanu-PF ruling party to secure a third non-constitutional term for President Emmerson Mnangagwa. By the end of the day, the police arrested 95 demonstrators By allegedly promoting “general violence” and causing “peace violations”. However, the police were unable to hold the man behind this protest, blessed. Ancient warriors in the liberation war in the 1970s, Geza is still a student, although he is looking for law enforcement on Four criminal charges Since February.

He was expelled from the Zanu-PF party March 6 The party leadership is supposed to undermine Mnangagwa’s call to step down. Accordingly, On March 26GEZA moved to YouTube, wearing military exhaustion, to criticize Mnangagwa and many of the main personalities associated with A 82 -year -old leader. He warned that he began taking unlimited measures against “Zvigananda” – people who accumulate wealth through illegal means and plundering the nation’s wealth. “Zvigananda” in the GEZA list includes many government ministers, senior civil employees, party officials, war guards, and three wealthy businessmen who affect very influencing and have close ties with the government who are widely believed to be corrupt: Scott Sakobuana, Wekelil Chievio and Coda Tajwairi.

According to the investigations in the local media, Chivayo, a previous entrance, achieved millions of dollars by selling high -prices electoral materials to the Zimbabwe authorities for the public elections in August 2023. The investigation conducted by the NewShawks, a local newspaper, concluded that he later converted millions at the beginning to influential Zimbabwe figures.

Tagueri at least controversial like Shivo. July 2023 report published Guardian and Open secrets How to build a mysterious business empire and enormous wealth using the structures of complex and controversial companies and apparently preferential governmental treatment. Former Finance Minister Tinday Betty I reported that Tagueri controls the fuel sector in South Africa, more than 60 percent of gold mines, and two of the largest banks and the only gold refinery.

It is believed that both Chivayo and Tagwirei have taken advantage of their close relationships You are moderate And the Zanu-PF party to the ground Government contracts And increase the interests of their business.

on March 28Geza made it known to have been responsible for setting fire in many vehicles that were parked outside offices Tajwe and color. His volunteer acceptance is designed to reflect his “revolutionary” intention to confront “Zvigananda” and “political criminals” associated with Mnangagwa. Over the past year, Zimbabwe’s leader was trying to secure a third term, although he denied this publicly goal The constitution is bound by two periods.

However, this catastrophic ambition appears to face remarkable resistance from his deputy, Vice President Constantino Cheynga, Former military chief. There is widespread speculation that Chiwenga, which still maintains great support within the Zimbabwe army, is the main force that leads Geza. On March 27, Mnangagwa moved They themselves free – Cheyinga’s main ally – from the position of head of the army to the Minister of Sports, Art and Entertainment in a maneuver to reduce the effect of Cheynga between the defense forces.

The intense struggle for power may lead to a similar coup for military acquisition November 15, 2017Led by Cheynga, who toppled Robert Mugabe, the strong man in Zimbabwe. However, the main issue extends beyond the bad disturbing violations of mnangagwa, as suggested by Geza. It lies in the clear failure of the Zanu-PF party to create a strong, effective and transparent democratic framework.

While the different views of Geza on the challenges of Zimbabwe’s governance are definitely a positive contribution, his narrow interpretations tend to simplify a very complex situation. The complex issues of Zimbabwe are only attributed to the poor Mengua and Corrupt driving It is both misleading and reverse results. In fact, Chiwenga and Geza-a former member of the Zanu-PF Central Committee are also deeply included in the regular issues that affect Zimbabwe.

“Zvigananda” was an integral part of Zimbabwe’s economic environment since the country gained independence from Britain on April 18, 1980. From the early 1980s, prominent businessmen like Shamson Buni and Roger’s book It was closely related to adults Zanu-PF officials They participated in the financial misconduct of millions of dollars. Thus, Geza’s assessments are definitely superficial and failure to provide effective solutions to the country’s continuous deficit in the country. Instead of challenging the current political structure, it aims to maintain the current situation, albeit with a new leader and perhaps a different group of “Zvigananda”. The fact is that all factions within the Zanu-PF- party New, old and emerging – Sadly spoils and smuggled in a trauma of law.

In April 2018, the marriage of Mobio, the former Cheynga wife, found herself involved in allegations of corruption. Just 55 days after the coup in November 2017, she won a profitable prize Millions of dollars Contracted to provide travel services to the office of the President and Ministers, all without going to giving and following the appropriate procedures. Then, in December 2019The Anti -Corruption Committee in Zimbabwe has arrested a Mobile on charges of money laundering and fraud and violations of exchange control regulations.

A month later, during the court certificate in the divorce procedures against the Mobile, Cheyinga was not better, publicly recognized that he had received Luxurious vehicles Of government entities and wealthy “well -wishers”. For example, Tagwirei donated ever Mercedes -Benz E350Which was used to transfer Chiwinga’s children. So Chionga, too, is not contaminated in any way with corruption allegations – and certainly not the breath of the pure air it made.

Zimbabwean did not tire large numbers to express their displeasure with public and unlimited beds that involve high-level Zanu-PF officials due to the harsh restrictions that have been placed on them. The government has constantly used the law and used violent measures to silence the opposition.

Zimbabwe, unfortunately, is currently Rhodesia, the colonial state that preceded its formation in 1980. The characteristic feature of Rodisia was the resistance of the fixed state to the unrestricted expression of civil rights and majority rule. In May 2020, for example, Joanna MamoumNetsai Marova and Cecillia Chimbiri were kidnapped, beaten and sexually assaulted by suspects, and then imprisoned to lead an anti -government protest.

The blatant ignorance of the basic constitutional principles, such as the inaccural right to protest, confirms the deep desire of the Zanu-PF party to adhere to the rule of law. This, in addition to the judiciary firmly ArrestedA security apparatus Sensing strongly And an army that works without shame k Extension Subordinate ruling partyZimbabwe political stability hinders.

For 45 years, the government intentionally neglected to protect vital constitutional freedoms and guarantee Election safety. In many ways, the heritage of Rhodesia below Prime Minister Ian SmithIt is an indelible white superiority, still alive in Zimbabwe.

After the “successful” protest March 31, Geza intends to organize Happening ManangagaIn claiming that the president is suffering from dementia. Regardless of whether it is achieving its goal, there is an increasing feeling that a decisive action is needed to arrest the country’s current path.

However, simply replacing Mnangagwa for Chiwenga, a man whose sense of entitlement and lust for power with the capabilities of governance will not lead to a meaningful change that Zimbabwe aspires to. What Zimbabwe really needs is a comprehensive and democratic reform that enjoys support through civil society and political division.

Any change, for the first time in the history of Zimbabwe, 45 years old, must give a free and tangible expression to the rights stipulated in the constitution.

Zanu-PF, above all, must give up the Rhodaian rule.
