Mutsvangwa’s Geza national hero status torches storm

ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has torched a storm within the ruling party structures after calling for the late war veteran Blessed Runesu Geza to be accorded national hero status.

The outspoken Geza, who led a spirited campaign against efforts by the ruling party to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term in office until 2030, died at a hospital in South Africa last Friday.

Geza skipped the border and went into self-imposed exile, with police hot on his heels after he called for massive demonstrations against the Zanu PF 2020 agenda.
