Minister Muswere slams ‘Cyber terrorist Geza’

Harare – In a fiery denunciation delivered on Sunday afternoon, Information Minister Jenfan Muswere tore into former ZANU PF member Blessed Geza, branding him “a cyber terrorist” and warning Zimbabweans against what he described as “a dangerous and reckless agenda to plunge the country into chaos.”

“Blessed Geza has crossed the line. His actions are not just criminal; they are terroristic,” Muswere declared during a press briefing held at the Munhumutapa Building. “He is waging a cyber war against the people of Zimbabwe and attempting to sabotage the peace and stability we’ve fought so hard to maintain.”

Muswere’s strong words come in the wake of Geza’s shocking address released late Saturday night. Dressed in combat attire and appearing in a dimly lit room at an undisclosed location, Geza urged Zimbabweans to participate in a national shutdown scheduled for April 22 and 23.

“This is not a suggestion. This is a command,” Geza proclaimed in his video message. “Close your shops. Stay home. Do not engage with the regime or its security forces. Let them see our resistance.”

The dramatic broadcast quickly went viral, igniting a flurry of reactions across social media. Geza, once a member of the ruling party and a self-proclaimed ex-combatant, accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration of “presiding over the collapse of the nation.”

“Our country is on its knees,” Geza said. “We are hungry. We are unemployed. We are tired. This shutdown is the only language this illegitimate regime understands.”

But Muswere dismissed the message as incitement to lawlessness, and he urged citizens to go about their normal business, assuring them of government protection.

“Let it be clear to every Zimbabwean – Blessed Geza is not a freedom fighter; he is a terrorist masquerading as a patriot,” Muswere said. “We are aware of his attempts to destabilize the country through anonymous threats and subversive videos. He will be brought to justice.”

Muswere further stated that all state security apparatuses are on high alert and that “anyone who participates in illegal protests will face the full wrath of the law.”

“The government will not tolerate any form of intimidation or threats to public order. We urge all patriotic citizens to ignore this so-called shutdown and continue with their daily activities,” the minister said.

As tensions simmer, the opposition remains largely silent, with no major political party officially endorsing the planned protest. However, Geza’s message has struck a chord among some disillusioned citizens who see his call as a bold stance against deteriorating economic conditions.

With April 22 fast approaching, Zimbabwe waits to see whether Geza’s dramatic call will spark nationwide action or fizzle out under the weight of government threats and state surveillance.
