It&#8217;s good to be back. It has been a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geza gained notoriety for his online videos expressing strong criticism of government policy, accusing the administration of corruption and economic mismanagement. His activities led to his expulsion from ZANU-PF and forced him into hiding after authorities sought him for questioning following the unsuccessful March 31 protests that he had supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brief video message, delivered in both English and Shona, did not reveal his current location or specify whether he would address the failed demonstrations in his upcoming broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He concluded his announcement with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s meet this Friday at 20:30, our usual time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message marks Geza&#8217;s first public communication since his disappearance from social media platforms after the March 31 events, signaling a potential return to his role as a vocal government critic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us on social media for breaking news:<br>\u00b7 X (Twitter): @ZimGbc<br>\u00b7 Instagram: @ZimGBCNews<br>\u00b7 TikTok: @ZimGBCNews_01<br>\u00b7 Facebook: Zim GBC News<br>\u00b7 YouTube: Zim GBC News<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get real-time alerts on WhatsApp:<br>+263 773 820 323<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For in-depth coverage, visit our website: www.zimgbcnews.co.zw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBC News | Global News From An African Perspective\u00a92025<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political Correspondent HARARE \u2013 Blessed Geza, a liberation war veteran known as &#8220;Comrade Bombshell,&#8221; has resurfaced with a surprise video message announcing his return to public discourse after months in&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[109],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8986"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8988,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8986\/revisions\/8988"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
