Geza sings Tsvangirai’s final push chorus

War veteran Blessed Geza has called for a “final push” against the government, echoing the words of late opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday night, Geza, a Zanu PF central committee member known for opposing President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid to extend his term beyond 2028, declared that Zimbabweans would soon receive a “clearer signal” for action.

“We have been mobilising ourselves to deliver the final blow, to a dictatorship that lacks any wisdom or empathy.”

“We are now ready to deliver the final push, a push that needs all of us to face the odds and birth a new country. We are going to give you a clearer signal soon, it will come before 20:30 hours at night so that we end this 2030 business,” Geza stated.
His remarks are reminiscent of Tsvangirai’s 2002 “final push” campaign, which aimed to mobilise mass protests against then-President Robert Mugabe’s rule. That campaign, however, failed to gain enough public support, and the opposition later fractured due to internal conflicts.

In 2007, after a brutal crackdown on opposition leaders, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) declared the “final stage of the final push” against Mugabe. Yet, once again, mass protests did not materialise.

“There Will Be No Repeat of 2017”
Addressing concerns that this was just another factional fight within Zanu PF, Geza insisted that their goal was to benefit all Zimbabweans.

“The idea is to embrace every Zimbabwean without exception. This is not a fight for one party or one person. No. There will be no repeat of 2017. There’s no ‘Chinhu Chedu’ in this space. It’s ours together.”
Referring to the military coup that ousted Mugabe in 2017, Geza said many war veterans had backed Operation Restore Legacy in good faith, only to feel betrayed.

“Maybe what happened in 2017 worries many, but it was sad. Many of us invested money, personal resources to fund Operation Restore Legacy. We lost millions with the hope of restoring this country to a democracy, but little did we know that we were fighting for thieves. We are wiser and clever now.”
