Zimbabwean businessman and political figure Sir Wicknell Chivayo has strongly criticized opposition figure Blessed Geza, referring to him as a “chap” rather than the respected title of “CDE” (Comrade).
In a passionate statement on social media, Chivayo condemned Geza for allegedly inciting violence and calling for an illegal uprising against the government, calling his actions unpatriotic and destructive.
Chivhayo expressed his unwavering support for President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the ZANU PF leadership, stating that Zimbabwe is a peaceful nation with a strong democratic foundation, which Geza and his supporters attempt to destabilize from exile.
He accused Geza of being a “failed politician” and a “fugitive from justice” who had been expelled from the ruling party for dishonourable conduct.
Rejecting Geza’s Calls for Unrest
In his statement, Chivayo stated that Geza no longer deserves to be called CDE due to his role in provoking instability and spreading treasonous rhetoric.
He emphasized that Zimbabweans must not be misled by Geza, who he described as a “political nonentity” with no mandate, no following, and no courage to face the law.
“Geza has become a political nobody, desperately trying to stay relevant by leading a criminal cartel of fugitives and bitter opposition remnants,” Chivayo said.
He further argued that Geza’s calls for unrest betray the peace Zimbabweans cherish, which was hard-earned during the liberation struggle.
Standing with President Mnangagwa
Chivayo reaffirmed his full support for President Mnangagwa and his government, highlighting the importance of continuing to work towards national unity, development, and peace under Vision 2030.
He expressed confidence in the leadership of the country’s security services and military commanders, praising their integrity and discipline.
“President Mnangagwa has always encouraged open dialogue and constructive criticism. His vision is clear — to build an upper-middle-class economy by 2030 for all Zimbabweans,” Chivayo stated.
He urged Zimbabweans to ignore calls for protests and violence, reminding them that Mnangagwa still has three full years left in his term and that any political ambitions must follow proper democratic processes.
A Call for Peace and Unity
Chivayo concluded his statement by calling on all Zimbabweans to stand together in unity, peace, and solidarity and to ignore calls for unlawful actions from individuals like Geza.
He stressed that the future of Zimbabwe lies with peaceful, patriotic citizens, not those seeking to divide the nation through criminal activities.
“Let us stand together as one people, under one flag, in the name of peace, solidarity, and national unity,” he urged before offering a final blessing for the nation: “God bless Zimbabwe.”
