Zimbabwe: War Veterans Protest Against Mnangagwa, Citizens Stay Away | Firstpost Africa| N18G
Protests erupted in Zimbabwe as a small group of war veterans took to the streets of Harare, accusing President Emmerson Mnangagwa of corruption and clinging to power. Led by Blessed Geza, a former member of Mnangagwa’s ZANU-PF party, they demanded his resignation. However, most citizens stayed home amid heavy security, leading to a near-total shutdown of businesses and schools. The protests stem from reports that Mnangagwa plans to extend his term beyond 2028, despite constitutional limits. His government faces allegations of mismanagement and repression. Meanwhile, Geza’s group supports Vice President Constantino Chiwenga as a potential successor. Though the protests lacked mass support, they highlighted the deepening tensions within Zimbabwe’s ruling party and uncertainty about the country’s future. Watch this video for more.
