EFF statement on the extension of Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa's term of office
—The EFF believes that the people of Zimbabwe cannot be held hostage indefinitely by a governing party. True revolutionaries understand that political power belongs to the people and that leadership is exercised on their behalf, not over them. Any government that fears returning to the people for a fresh democratic mandate is one that is certain it has lost the will of the people and should face the consequences or commit to better leadership.
We successfully submitted our letters to @ParliamentZim objecting to #CAB3. If you haven’t yet, you still can at [email protected] or at the Parliament Building before 18 May 2026. I will post my full letter below. #NoToCAB3
Fellow Zimbabweans,
I come to you at this unusual hour, my heart heavy with sorrow.
I am in pain that I might not see the new Zimbabwe after Emmerson, but I take solace in the hope that you will continue the faith for a free and prosperous nation - the Zimbabwe I fiercely fought for.
I have walked a difficult path, one filled with pain and sacrifice. Like many of you, I joined this struggle at a tender age.
We fought fierce battles, and the memories of our dear comrades who fell to the enemy’s guns and bombs still haunt us.
But this did not deter us; it fortified our resolve.
Each of us hoped to witness a better Zimbabwe, one where every dream counted. The colonial system was oppressively and socially, economically, and politically discriminatory,
The oppressors stole our dignity, our humanity, and our livelihoods.
We bled to reclaim what was rightfully ours, our dignity, identity, and humanity.
I salute all the heroes of our liberation struggle, both alive and departed.
To those who gave their lives, let me assure you: you did not die in vain. Your aspirations will soon be realised.
When we recognised that Mugabe had betrayed the covenant forged in our battle for this country, we made the decision to remove him in November 2017, filled with hope for a government that would correct those wrongs.
I have since apologised for my role in that removal.
Yet, what followed has been a nightmare. Mnangagwa has fared even worse, completely neglecting the values we fought for.
As Vice President Constantino Chiwenga said, we fought for a country where everyone has a place at the table.
Yet today, we witness unprecedented levels of corruption, with Emmerson, his sons, and a select few like Kuda Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivhayo, and Scott Sakupwanya pillaging our nation.
The Zviganandas have captured the State. They are robbing this country dry. They are stealing from you, from your children, and from your future.
We are witnessing a collapse of public institutions, cronyism, and nepotism like we’ve never seen before.
Last year, I exposed their corrupt activities and called for collective action to remove Emmerson from power. But shamefully, using surrogates like Ziyambi Ziyambi and Virginia Mabhiza, he seeks to reward himself with more years to loot our land dry.
This will never happen. I vow to fight this from the grave. Vana Ziyambi muchamhanya chete.
As I reflect on my journey, my heart aches, not from despair, but from overwhelming hope that you, the people of Zimbabwe, will unite to reclaim our land from the self-serving and corrupt leaders of today.
In a nation rich in potential and mineral wealth, I have seen many of you break down in despair.
We have suffered under the weight of betrayal, and yet, we have risen in defiance. Our dream is within reach.
Brothers, sisters, comrades, and friends, the path we have walked together is paved with tears.
Last year, as I stood before you, I proclaimed, “We will not rest until those who loot our resources are brought to justice!”
Those words were not mere rhetoric; they reflected our collective pain and yearning for freedom.
I have demanded that our leaders understand the burdens you bear, the hunger, the heartbreak, the dreams deferred. We cannot allow the thieves in power to rob us of our future.
With each shout against corruption, I felt the spirit of our fallen heroes rise within us, urging us to reclaim our birthright.
As Vice President Chiwenga wisely warned, “A nation that allows corruption to flourish is doomed to fail.”
Our fight is against Emmerson and his corrupt cabal; we must not allow them to crush our spirits.
Together, we hold the power to demand change and ignite a new world for our children.
As I speak to you now, I feel my energy sapping; I might not be here tomorrow, next week, or next month.
Yet, I will be gratified, knowing I fought a noble war and that you will carry it forward to remove Emmerson and end the plunder of our country.
Blessed Runesu Geza, popularly known as Cde Bombshell, has died at a cardiovascular hospital in South Africa, according to a statement released by his family on 6 February 2026.
The family confirmed that he passed away in the morning at the specialist heart facility, although full medical details surrounding his death have not been publicly disclosed. He has had a heart ailment for some time.
Geza rose to prominence in Zimbabwe’s political discourse through his outspoken activism and his sharp criticism of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.
He became widely known for his bold public interventions, in which he accused the government of corruption, state capture, and economic mismanagement.
Geza escalated his rhetoric, openly calling for Mnangagwa’s removal from office and urging Zimbabweans to mobilise and engage in street protests against what he described as authoritarian rule.
His statements, often delivered through fiery social media broadcasts and public commentary, made him both a polarising and influential figure within opposition-leaning political circles.
Supporters viewed him as a fearless voice speaking against entrenched power, while critics dismissed him as a confrontational figure aligned to a disgruntled ZANUPF faction opposed to Mnangagwa’s rule and his attempts to extend his term of office to 2030.
Regardless of where one stood, his presence injected intensity into Zimbabwe’s contested political arena.
Great initiative by #GreatmanMusic. RETWEET and help him reach as many people as possible!
You know what, my people? A retweet costs you nothing. And when you see somebody who is disabled, like Great Man, pushing this initiative, it should shame us who are able-bodied that we are not able to assist those who are disabled.
The least we can do is to RETWEET so that those who have the heart to help can actually support this cause.
So I ask you again, please RETWEET this initiative that Great Man, who is disabled, has started to assist people like him who are disabled.
It costs you nothing at all as a Zimbabwean or an African to simply RETWEET, or as any other nationality.
Greetings citizens. Let's all meet in Harare at Robert Mugabe Square to march against state capture and corruption. Regardless of political affiliations, let's all meet to hold the corrupt and inept government accountable. The police and army should allow us peacefully and constitutionally demonstrate.
Fadzayi Mahere is so many things to me. She is a sister, her portrait hangs in my mother’s lounge. She is a friend, although she owes my son $100. She is a certified opponent, whenever we are up against each other in court the grass suffers. So I can tell you a few things about her.
1. She is not corrupt.
2. She does not bribe judges. This, good people, is an impossibility.
3. She is a fierce competitor and hardworker, I think she buys half the markers from all leading bookshops.
4. She is competent, asi kane nharo.
5. She can afford a car. I think any car. Fadzayi haashandire ngozi.
6. A lot of nonsense is said about her love life. Lots and lots of hogwash.

Today, I’m delivering school furniture to Clifford Primary School, where learners have been studying while sitting on the floor. This critical intervention brings hope and restores dignity to their learning environment.
PLEASE RETWEET
It is 67 days today since Zimbabwean journalist and political prisoner Blessed “Dhara” Mhlanga was jailed without trial for interviewing two people, one opposed to Mnangagwa’s violation of the constitution by extending his term of office, and another one exposing his corrupt attempt to steal the People’s Own Savings Bank (POSB).
